Near-future tense

Guy'll have it working in no time.



Could it be possible that the 'in no time' decides 'working' rather than 'work'?



As we know, the present participle can denote the near-future tense.

for example:

I am going to bed.

I am just going out.

I won't be using it.



Thanks.

These are present continuous used for near future: I am going to bed. I am just going out . This one is not: I won't be using it.
