Jobbing manufacturers in New Zealand and Australia: joinery and cabinetmaking, metal fabrication, engineering workshops, glass and glazing
About Empower
Empower is web-based workshop management software for jobbing manufacturers and engineering shops. It combines shop-floor time capture, job tracking, production scheduling, and operational reporting, helping teams record staff time against jobs and tasks and compare actual labor with estimates. Managers can coordinate work across staff and work centres, monitor job status and costs, and use reports to review labor, capacity, and profitability. Shop-floor displays and tablets give workers access to job details and production targets at the point of work. Empower also connects with accounting, payroll, CAD and costing, CRM, and inventory products, including Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, Cabinet Vision, and Microvellum. It is aimed at made-to-order workshops such as joinery, engineering, sheet-metal, and composite manufacturing businesses, particularly in New Zealand and Australia.
