How it works

1

Install Tempus on your PCs

A lightweight agent runs on each public workstation. No special hardware, no reimaging. Works on Windows 10+ and Chrome OS.

2

Connect your patron database

Tempus syncs with your ILS so patrons sign in with their library card. SIP2, NCIP, and API integrations are built in.

3

Staff monitor from the dashboard

Open the Tempus dashboard in any browser. See every station in real time, manage print queues, and pull usage reports.

See Tempus manage a real computer lab.

We will walk you through a live demo tailored to your library's setup, branch count, and patron volume. No slides, no fluff.
