Staff-time visibility
Narellan
Sydney, NSW
Big step up
In workshop management

Narellan-based Harrington Kitchens went from no staff-time tracking to full visibility of every job — a fundamental shift in how the workshop is managed.

From "we don't know" to "we know"

Before Empower, Harrington Kitchens didn't track staff time against jobs at all. Estimates were built on gut feel and results were reconciled at the end via what got invoiced — no visibility into which jobs were profitable and which were quietly losing money.

A step-change in visibility

Bringing Empower into the workshop changed the fundamentals: staff clock onto jobs as they work, the office watches labour land against the quote in real time, and the whole team knows where every job stands.

Narellan's high-end kitchens

Harrington design and build custom kitchens for homes across Sydney's south-west — with the operational rhythm now to hit installation dates and hold margin on every project.
