Workplace Champion of the Year

CabMaster Software is your Australian made & owned software solution for simple & custom cabinetmaking.

Our mission is simple: to make things easier for people just like you. Our company motto is “how can we help?” because this is the first question we ask ourselves in every department at CabMaster Software.

How can we develop CabMaster Software to better help cabinet makers? How can we help complete standard daily production tasks in less time, with more accuracy and ensure quality?

From this question, we’ve built a successful foundation as one of the world’s original cabinet making softwares, providing quality software technology since 1982 (before a third of our team was even born!).

We are excited to be partnering with ACFA for the Workplace Champion Award because, no matter how big or small a business is, the foundation of it all is regular, hardworking people. The human element of our industry is the heartbeat of CabMaster Software, so we are excited to celebrate this year’s Workplace Champion with you.
