How Taber Company Scaled to $44M Leveraging INNERGY's ERP Software for Growth
“I have no idea how we managed without INNERGY.
It has transformed every aspect of our business, from how we schedule projects to how we manage finances."
About Taber:
Brian Taber founded Taber Company in 2002, building on years of expertise in the cabinetry industry in Orange County, California. Early on, the company relied on simple tools like Word and Excel, achieving $3 million in revenue in its first year.
However, as the business grew, operational inefficiencies emerged. By adopting INNERGY’s ERP software and executive education programs, Taber Company reinforced its foundation with streamlined processes, a data-driven approach, and critical visibility, ensuring sustainable growth and profitability. Taber Company has grown beyond just millwork while still staying true to its SoCal roots. Their work can be seen within some of Southern California’s most iconic luxury buildings like the Balboa Bay Club, Monarch Beach Resort, and Hotel Del Coronado.
The Challenge:
- Job Costing Gaps: Limited visibility into project profitability hindered financial insights.
- Inventory Management Inefficiencies: Materials were difficult to track, leading to inconsistent inventory levels.
- Lack of Forecasting: No workload or capacity predictions caused scheduling bottlenecks.
- Weak Financial Reporting: Struggled to meet banks' demand for accurate, timely financial data.
The Solution:
- Implementation of INNERGY's ERP software & framework
- Prioritized accuracy in estimating as the foundation for all projects.
- Replaced inefficient methods (linear or square footage pricing) with consistent, data-driven pricing models using INNERGY
Key Results:
INNERGY’s software has fundamentally changed how Taber Company operates:
- Job Costing: Tracks project profitability hourly for better decisions.
- Inventory Management: Reduces waste with precise material tracking.
- Capacity Planning: Balances workloads using bottleneck reports.
- Profitability Growth: Increased revenue to $44M with higher margins and productivity.
