"Within 2 years of using Empower software we got our factory staff down from 25 to 18 factory staff whilst retaining our weekly production, which was a 38% increase in our factory productivity.
The 7 staff saving (25 down to 18) we achieved initially in our boat division was a substantial annual wage cost saving. This is also a substantial time and cost saving for the products that we manufacture, which in turned allowed us to substantially more cost competitive in the market place, and more profitable"

“We used to use time punching machines that workshop staff punched on and off each jobs.
Workshop staff were not aware of their budgeted times for the job at job start and not aware of their actual time on the job at job end.
Workshop staff worked largely unaware of time on each job and worked at their own pace.
Using Empower we have achieved an estimated 15% increase in factory productivity “
