How Florida Stairworks & Carpentry Scaled from 2 Employees to 80 Utilizing INNERGY
“INNERGY isn’t just a tool. It’s a system that helps you change how you think and operate."
About Florida Stairworks & Carpentry:
Founded in 2011 by veteran stair builder Doug, Florida Stairworks & Carpentry has grown from a two-person crew into an 80-person team specializing in high-end, custom staircases for residential projects nationwide. Doug’s roots in carpentry trace back to 1979, where a mentor’s nudge sparked a decades-long focus on complex stair systems many of which can’t be found anywhere else in the market.
As the business scaled, the team outgrew spreadsheets and kanban boards, leading to operational slowdowns. With INNERGY’s software and leadership training, Florida Stairworks gained real-time job visibility, reduced manual workflows, and built a foundation for sustainable growth. Now approaching 100 employees, the company continues to evolve with INNERGY as its operational core.
The Challenge:
- Outgrown Systems: Manual tools like spreadsheets and a physical kanban board couldn’t keep pace with a growing team and job volume.
- Data Silos & Duplication: Relying on paper files and manual entry introduced inefficiencies and increased the risk of errors.
- Lack of Scalability: Existing processes were reaching their limit—leadership knew they wouldn’t hold up as the company expanded.
- Temporary Fixes: Past solutions were short-term bandages rather than long-term systems built to support growth.
The Solution:
- All-in-One Workflow: INNERGY’s system centralized project data, eliminated redundant entry, and replaced manual tools like the kanban board and inventory bins.
- Real-Time Visibility: Leadership gained immediate insight into job performance, labor allocation, and inventory, no more digging through paper files.
- Remote Accessibility: With INNERGY’s cloud-based platform, the team can manage operations from anywhere.
Key Results:
INNERGY has become a core part of Florida Stairworks’ growth strategy, delivering clear improvements in performance and scalability:
- Team Growth: Scaled from 2 to 80 employees and on pace to hit 100 without overwhelming operations.
- Operational Visibility: Real-time job costing and inventory tracking allow for faster decisions and better accountability.
- Digital Precision: Whiteboards and spreadsheets were replaced with structured, trackable workflows streamlining onboarding, estimating, and daily execution.
