QLD kitchen makers — Empower replaced 'dinosaur' manual systems and the companywide chaos they created. Going back would mean 20% longer jobs at 20% more cost.

The dinosaur systems

Jenny Muyoma, Administration Manager — "By using Empower Software technology we get away from the dinosaur old manual systems and the resultant companywide chaos that existed on our workshop floor and in our office."

Labour intensive, costly, painful

"Our previous manual systems were very labour intensive and very costly and a real pain in the butt daily." The plain-speaking assessment of what the workshop was like before live time capture.

The reversal cost is the real number

"If we turned off Empower Software tomorrow the transparency and accountability would drop to zero and I estimate our jobs would go back to taking 20% longer, and at 20% more labour cost." That's the value of Empower — measured by what its absence would cost.
