Joinery + fitout

Sydney joinery running Empower for four ingredients: real-time reporting, minute-accurate times, task-level job data, individual staff involvement — 15% productivity gain.

The four ingredients

Richard, Managing Director — "Ingredients of high quality information from Empower: real time reporting, accurate to the minute times, job times down to task level, and reporting individual staff involved in each task and their actual times."

Issues, pinpointed fairly

"With all this information in most cases we can fairly and accurately pinpoint issues." That last word matters — fair pinpointing is what turns data into culture change instead of blame culture.

15% out of the whole book

The result: jobs completed in 15% less labour time overall, and therefore 15% less labour cost. Consistent, real, measured — across every job that runs through the Sydney workshop.
