Quote, schedule, and track every job to the minute
Precision and general engineering workshops live on tight margins. Empower captures real labour against real jobs so your tenders are accurate and your floor is honest.
Built for the engineering floor
Precision and general engineering workshops live on tight margins. Empower captures real labour against real jobs so your tenders are accurate and your floor is honest.
Tendering blind
Without real labour data, every quote's a finger in the air. Empower gives you actuals across your whole job history.
Variations swallowed by the floor
Scope creep eats margin when it's not tracked. Empower logs and costs every variation as it happens.
Multi-stage routing
CNC → fitting → assembly → QA. Empower routes work through stations and tracks time at each.
Compliance & QA paper trail
ISO, H&S, and customer-specific QA built into the workflow — the audit trail builds itself.
