Empower Software, locally owned and operated is based in NewMarket, Auckland.  Founding Directors are Dave Garrett (right) and Sean O’Sullivan.

New Zealand, Australian and International manufacturers and engineers, from 5 up to 150 factory staff are investing in the Empower Software technology on their factory floors and using their Factory Productivity and Scheduling Software for live production scheduling, tracking of jobs and individual factory staff times on jobs and job status.

Production Managers are the main users and drivers of the technology and software as it is their role and their responsibility to plan and drive daily and weekly factory production and productivity effectively.

Manufacturers and engineers install large TV monitors on factory walls and office walls to display live production and productivity data for everyone in the company to see.

The performance of individual jobs and individual factory staff is live and continuous throughout the day and their individual productivity becomes totally transparent to all factory staff, management and administration staff. 

This technology and software drives labour times on jobs and labour cost on jobs down typically by 20% to 40%.

TIN100, a well-respected and recognised New Zealand Network of technology-based companies, including all stakeholders to the NZ Technology Industry, recently recognised Empower Software.
