Job status & performance

A world-class superyacht builder replaced paper-based tracking with Empower — instant feedback on job status and performance, and weeks of manual data entry shrunk to minutes.

A world-class builder, a paper-based system

As a world-class boat builder, McMullen & Wing needed a world-class way to manage complex production activities. Their existing paper-based system couldn't keep up with the volume or scale of what was happening on the floor.

Instant feedback in place of manual entry

By replacing the manual paper system with Empower, they gained instant feedback on job status and performance. What used to take weeks of manual data entry and spreadsheet analysis now takes only minutes.

Faster, data-driven decisions

Management can now make faster, data-driven decisions that keep large-scale projects profitable and on schedule — a 38% productivity lift that compounds across every build.
