CABINET VISION Success Story
Planit Australia customer Anertex has been using CABINET VISION for more than 25 years
Anertex is a family-run business that has proudly operated for more than 60 years, with the current owner involved for more than 40. Originally founded by his father, the business has continued to thrive under a legacy of craftsmanship, now paired with a strong focus on innovation and technology.
Today, Anertex manufactures a diverse range of high-quality commercial, domestic, and architectural joinery, supplying the industry across Victoria. Over the years, the company has experienced significant growth, now operating out of all three factories in its complex. This expansion has enabled greater production capacity and streamlined operations under one roof.
Recognising early signs of change within the cabinetmaking industry, Albert at Anertex was quick to adapt. More than 25 years ago, they began integrating digital tools, starting with the introduction of CABINET VISION to improve design efficiency and production flow.
Early on, Anertex worked closely with Raymond Johns (before Solid Setup+ existed) to help develop UCS (User Created Standards) and refine how CABINET VISION could work more efficiently for their operation. That collaboration allowed Anertex to get ahead of the curve, customising the software to suit their unique processes and extracting real value from the platform.
As the business expanded, so did the complexity of its operations. To keep up, Anertex built its own in-house ordering system, allowing full control over scheduling, stock management, and job tracking. CNC machinery was also introduced to the manufacturing floor, significantly improving accuracy, speed, and consistency.
Today, technology sits at the core of Anertex’s day-to-day operations. CABINET VISION continues to play a vital role in reducing manual tasks, connecting design to production, and ensuring projects move smoothly through the factory. The company is also in the process of implementing GoCabinets, a solution that will streamline how customers place and manage orders, further enhancing efficiency and customer service.
Looking ahead, the team remains focused on future opportunities. New technologies are regularly explored, and there are plans to introduce a material handling system to optimise board movement within the workshop. These investments reflect Anertex’s ongoing commitment to improving accuracy, reducing waste, and saving time.
For Anertex, innovation isn’t a one-off project—it’s an ongoing strategy. The business continues to blend tradition with forward thinking, using technology to support its people, refine its processes, and deliver exceptional results to customers.
