LeanDNA allows for ease of reporting and analyzing current inventory positions at a company level. LeanDNA drives actions and results that can be easily communicated and dissected. The visual nature of the tool drives users to the most impactful tasks.

• Easy to learn. The help menu is self-explanatory.
• Very easy to import and export data and has multiple ways of modeling.
• Nice visualizations.

Incentivized

• Simple to use interface with high level dashboard and additional widgets for metrics.
• Project and results tracking.
• Forecast vs actuals kept track of for past 6 months to review performance and adjust if necessary.

• Community user group
• Free, accessible training
• Simulation to solve the problem...not just to test the optimized solution against

Incentivized

• More supplier portal capabilities (eg. ASN).
• Historical data; items show fixed if they are received. Would like to see these as not fixed, but considered something like not actioned.
• Comment capabilities should be easier. Needs to be more like Excel, able to just enter comments. You have to click too many times to enter comments.

The customer support team has been in lock step in all of the implementations that we have done with them. The team is very communicative and knowledgeable in the process and platform we operate in.

Training was minimal and actually happened before go[ing] live and should have been ongoing after new changes adapted.

We evaluated a ton of other solutions; With some solutions, I liked their simulation aspects better. Coupa (formerly LLamasoft), can model with a duration-based service level target. That was the only solution I saw that offered that service level definition (Type 1: event-based, or Type 2: Quantity based)

For a simple, easy to implement system, LeanDNA far outpaces the larger companies with lots of "extras". LeanDNA offers a sufficient inventory optimization platform that can be used with almost any ERP system.
