We solve the execution gap - bridging together data from ERP, MRP, etc. and providing actionable insights and workflows for manufacturing environments. Many hours of my career have been spent merging data output from disparate systems into Excel to search for nuggets of truth and potential actions. When Excel didn't crash on me, I could sometimes "masking tape and bubble gum stick" my way to solid recommendations for my stakeholders. LeanDNA solves that "execution gap" and gives buyers, planners, and leaders in manufacturing environments real-time actionable insights to reduce inventory carrying costs, avoid shortages, increase on-time delivery, and streamline operations. We are a rapidly growing company making a huge impact in the post-pandemic complex and challenging supply chain space. I could not be more excited to be supporting this team.

We solve problems for businesses of all sizes. Our specialties are related to any of the data or numbers of the business. We are ideators and strategists, willing to get our hands dirty weeding through the roots of your business in order to build process, stimulate growth, reveal a direction, or capture opportunities.
