20% FasterKitchen Manufacturing
Montage Kitchens
The wins for Montage Kitchens
Live, accurate time data on workshop screens makes every kitchen maker accountable — Montage estimate they'd go back to taking 20% longer to manufacture their kitchens without Empower.
Built by kitchen makers, for kitchen makers
Montage Kitchens have been involved in the development of Empower over the last 22 years. The software has been developed largely by kitchen makers for kitchen makers — that's why it works so well for the industry.
Floor + office, both on the data
Big-screen TVs in Montage's office and machine shop run Empower screens showing jobs, staff and times in real time. Real, accurate time information makes the whole management and workshop team highly transparent and highly accountable.
A 20% productivity gap if it ever stopped
"I am confident that if we turned off Empower we would go back to taking 20% longer to manufacture our kitchens." — Jared Monk, Director, Montage Kitchens.
