Empower
For joinery & cabinet shops

Run a joinery shop like a production line

Cabinet, kitchen, and bespoke joinery shops run dozens of small-batch jobs in parallel. Empower turns that chaos into a clear picture of what's on the floor, what's late, and what's making margin.

What we solve

Built for the joinery floor

Cabinet, kitchen, and bespoke joinery shops run dozens of small-batch jobs in parallel. Empower turns that chaos into a clear picture of what's on the floor, what's late, and what's making margin.

Joinery workshop floor

Too many jobs, not enough visibility

Five kitchens at three stages each is fifteen states to track. Empower replaces the whiteboard with one live view.

Drawings going out of sync

Revisions land but the floor's still cutting from the old set. Empower attaches the latest drawing to the job — versioned.

Bottlenecks at finishing

Spray booths and assembly bays are scarce. Empower shows you where work is queuing so you can rebalance before deadlines slip.

Labour cost vs. quote

Every kitchen quoted is a guess at hours. Empower captures the actual labour against every job — so next quote is tighter.
