Empower
For CNC & precision machine shops

Spindle time, setup time, margin you can see

Precision machining lives or dies on utilisation and setup discipline. Empower splits setup from run time, tracks operators across machines, and turns your job history into sharper quotes.

What we solve

Built for the cnc machining floor

Precision machining lives or dies on utilisation and setup discipline. Empower splits setup from run time, tracks operators across machines, and turns your job history into sharper quotes.

CNC Machining workshop floor

Setup time swallowing small runs

On short runs, setup is the job. Empower tracks setup separately from cycle time so you quote small batches at their real cost.

One operator, three machines

Modern cells run lean. Empower attributes labour across simultaneous jobs properly instead of double-counting or losing hours.

Quoting repeat work blind

The same part comes back every quarter. Empower puts last run's actuals — setup, cycle, rework — behind this quarter's quote.

QA and traceability demands

Aerospace, medical, and OEM customers want the paper trail. Empower's job records build the audit trail as work happens.
