INNERGY has acquired Archetype, a leading provider of outsourced drafting services, and is launching Shop Drawings as a Service to address the custom millwork industry's biggest operational bottleneck.
AUSTIN, Texas, May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- INNERGY, the leading provider of ERP and design software for custom millwork and cabinetry manufacturers, today announced the acquisition of Archetype, a leading provider of outsourced drafting and shop drawing services for the woodworking industry.
Archetype joins INNERGY to provide a single, integrated platform addressing the industry's most chronic operational bottleneck: drafting and engineering capacity. With the acquisition, INNERGY will offer drafting services, a new offering that brings expert drafting capacity directly into the workflow of cabinet shops and millwork manufacturers worldwide.
"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."
Founded by Darren Toy, Archetype has spent more than a decade building one of the largest woodworking-focused drafting teams in the industry. The company's 220 highly skilled employees produce production-ready 2D and 3D shop drawings, parametric models, and engineering deliverables for cabinet shops and millwork manufacturers. INNERGY customers in an early-adopter program have been receiving shop drawings 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 creates immediate opportunities for customers:
- Shop Drawings as a Service. INNERGY customers can access expert drafting capacity directly from inside the ERP.
- End-to-end transparency. A real-time status view shows exactly where every drawing is in production, eliminating the friction that has historically made drafting outsourcing painful.
- Continued support and development for all current INNERGY, Microvellum, and Archetype products and customers.
"Every customer conversation comes back to the same theme: the workflow needs to tighten," Sanderson continued. "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."
The organizations will continue to operate under their existing brands. INNERGY will detail the drafting services rollout for customers in the months ahead.
