THE PROBLEM

You only find out a project slipped at the quarterly review.

By the time the deck is built, the slip is two months old. Every status report said "green". Nobody lied — the data simply lived in five different files.

75%

of continuous improvement projects never reach the Control phase

Projects don't fail because the methodology is wrong. They stall because the charter lives in Word, the KPIs in Excel, the actions in email — and nobody owns the connection between them.

12+

tools your team retypes the same numbers into every week

Excel for KPIs. PowerPoint for steering. Word for charters. Email for approvals. Notion for the rest. Five tools, one source of truth — and it's whoever sent the latest file.

40%

of your improvement team's week, spent rebuilding status reports

Rebuilding the numbers on demand, refreshing slide decks, version control in filenames. That is skilled engineering capacity going into the mechanics of reporting rather than into the processes the reports describe.

WHAT CHANGES

Three shifts you feel in the first week.

Visibility

BEFORE

Every status report reads "green" — until the quarterly review.

↓

WITH LEANOS

Drift on any KPI flags the same week. The portfolio dashboard shows which projects need attention this week, not next quarter.

Velocity

BEFORE

Charter rewrites take three review rounds and two weeks.

↓

WITH LEANOS

AI drafts the problem statement, business case and goal in 3 minutes. Your team edits — they don't start from a blank page.

Accountability

BEFORE

KPI and action follow-up is duplicated across messaging, email and parallel trackers — the same figures maintained in several places at once.

↓

WITH LEANOS

Every KPI has an owner, a target and a trend. Every action has a due date and a phase. Follow-up is part of the record, not a separate chase.

MEASURED IMPACT

Impact you can defend in a steering meeting.

Every improvement is tied to its baseline, milestones and downstream effect. Documented, exportable, audit-ready.

  • Operational lift: lead time, throughput, defect rate, hours released — tied to specific KPI deltas
  • Financial conversion runs in the background, surfaced on demand for steering reviews
  • Every claim traceable to the project, the KPI and the action that drove it

BUILT FOR YOUR ROLE

Three roles, one source of truth.

Each role gets exactly what they need — same data, different lens.

Chief Procurement / Operations Officer

See the portfolio. Defend the plan.

  • Real-time portfolio of every active project
  • Operational and financial impact, board-ready reporting
  • Drift signals the same week, not at quarterly review

Lean / Continuous Improvement Director

Run DMAIC at scale without spreadsheets.

  • Charter, VSM, KPIs, action plan — connected (SIPOC on Pro)
  • Control Plan templates that survive past go-live
  • AI copilot that drafts; your team approves

Plant / Engineering Manager

Track the work. Skip the deck.

  • Action plan with owners, deadlines, KPI links
  • Defects + waste log → Pareto + sigma automatically (Pro)

INSIDE

Every module is one click away from your data.

Charter → KPIs → Actions → Control plan, all sharing the same project state. Edit a milestone in one place, every other screen reflects it.

IDEAS

Turn ideas into projects — with a review step

Anyone submits a problem or idea in plain words. AI shapes it into a SMART objective and scores impact vs. effort. A reviewer prioritises on a matrix, then converts it into a guided project — nothing becomes a project by default. On the Team and Pro plans.

Problem StatementWhat gap or pain are we solving?✨ AI

Die changeovers on Line 3 average 94 min, 7 times a week — about 11 h of press capacity lost every week.

Business CaseWhy is this worth doing? What's the impact?✨ AI

Recovering that capacity is worth ~€400K a year and removes the Saturday overtime shift.

Goal StatementSpecific, measurable, time-bound target.✨ AI

Average changeover ≤ 45 min by 30 Nov 2026, held for 4 consecutive weeks.

KPIs

Track measures with milestones, not just targets

Set interim milestones, plot trends, see if you're on pace mid-project. AI suggests corrective actions when something drifts.

HOW IT WORKS

From a rough idea to a controlled improvement.

1

Capture an idea — anyone (Team and Pro)

Someone writes a problem or an idea in plain words. AI classifies it, shapes it into a SMART objective and scores impact vs. effort. A reviewer prioritises — nothing becomes a project by default.

2

Turn it into a guided project

Approve it and it becomes a project with an AI-drafted charter. Then measure and improve — KPIs, value stream, action plan. The copilot proposes; you approve.

3

Control and scale

Lock gains in the control plan. Export an exec-ready PDF report. Bring in engineering partners when you need outside firepower.

VS. STATUS QUO

Why ops teams switch.

Spreadsheets are flexible. Generic PM tools are flashy. Neither was built for improvement work.

TRUST & CONTROL

Enterprise-ready, by default.

Data control, by default

Data export built in. Delete your own account from your profile, at once — no help-desk request. Your organisation keeps the work you created, without your name. Granular cookie consent.

AI only when you ask

The copilot runs only when you ask it to. Nothing runs in the background, and it makes no decisions on its own. You review every AI output before it goes into your project.

Methodology-agnostic

DMAIC is the default scaffolding, but you decide what fills each phase. No certification required — your team learns by using it.

Built in EN, ES and FR

Interface and AI responses in three languages. Switch any time, persisted per user. More languages on the roadmap.
