Comments, @mentions and notifications keep everyone on an item up to date.
Built-in reports and KPI dashboards show results, top losses and where to improve next.
Workflow rules assign work, set due dates and send alerts when an item runs late.
Replace paper, spreadsheets and homegrown tools
Move off paper, Excel files and home-built apps
Work instructions, checklists, issue reports and training records move from filing cabinets, spreadsheets and one-person databases into one searchable system.
Data Capture
Get rid of data silos
Documentation
Improve access to important operational information
Compliance and Audits
Improve traceability and compliance
Sustainability
Reduce carbon footprint
Homegrown tools
The Access database, SharePoint list or Power App that one person built stops changing when that person leaves, and every change waits in their queue until then. LeanSuite comes with a product team, regular releases, support and a way to request features.
