INNERGY Acquires Archetype, Launches Shop Drawings as a Service for Millwork Manufacturers

Acquisition tackles the custom millwork industry's most persistent operational constraint

AUSTIN, Texas — May 27, 2026 — INNERGY, the leading ERP and design software provider for custom millwork and cabinetry manufacturers, has acquired Archetype, a major provider of outsourced drafting and shop drawing services for the woodworking industry.
 
The acquisition gives INNERGY customers direct access to expert drafting capacity through a new offering called Shop Drawings as a Service. The combined platform addresses what 78% of INNERGY customers identify as a chronic problem in their businesses: drafting and engineering capacity.
 
“This is a defining moment for the millwork industry. Every conversation I have with cabinet shop owners and millwork manufacturers eventually arrives at the same problem: drafting capacity is the bottleneck,” said Marc Sanderson, CEO of INNERGY. “78% of our customers tell us this is a chronic issue in their business. INNERGY exists to solve those bottlenecks, and Archetype is the most direct answer we could possibly bring. We’re putting expert drafting capacity directly inside the platform our customers already trust, with the transparency and integration this industry has never had.”
 
Archetype, founded by Darren Toy, has spent more than a decade assembling one of the woodworking industry’s largest dedicated drafting teams. Its 220 associates produce production-ready 2D and 3D shop drawings, parametric models and engineering deliverables for cabinet shops and millwork manufacturers around the world. INNERGY customers participating in an early-adopter program have been receiving shop drawings from the Archetype team since 2025, with strong results.
 
“For more than a decade, Archetype has worked to solve one problem: helping woodworking businesses scale without being held back by drafting capacity,” said Darren Toy, Founder and CEO of Archetype. “Joining INNERGY puts our team inside the most relevant platform in this industry. Every drawing, every revision, every status update, all in one place. That’s the future of shop drawings, and we’re going to deliver it together.”
 
The combined offering opens three immediate opportunities for customers:

  • Shop Drawings as a Service. INNERGY customers can request expert drafting capacity from inside the ERP.
  • End-to-end transparency. A real-time status view shows where every drawing sits in production, removing the friction that has historically made drafting outsourcing painful.
  • Continuity across brands. Current INNERGY, Microvellum and Archetype products and customers will continue to receive ongoing support and development.

“Every customer conversation comes back to the same theme: the workflow needs to tighten,” Sanderson said. “One system, one source of truth, one place where work actually moves forward. Archetype closes one of the largest gaps in that workflow, and we are just getting started. This acquisition and full solution changes the industry as we know it.”
 
INNERGY, Microvellum and Archetype will continue to operate under their existing brands. INNERGY will share additional details on the Shop Drawings as a Service rollout in the months ahead.
