## APEX Reviews
  ### 1. Insightful Dashboard and Real-Time Updates, But Needs Better Warehouse KPIs

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael T. | Supply Chain Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

LeanDNA provides leadership with an excellent dashboard that offers clear insight into what buyers are purchasing. It also enables my production team to communicate directly with buyers from the shop floor. Additionally, 3PL expeditors and vendors can update statuses in real time, including tracking information for inbound parts.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

It would be beneficial if the dashboard provided more comprehensive warehouse metrics and KPIs, such as the status of put away and kitting. Having this information readily available would make it easier to monitor warehouse operations.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

LeanDNA enables me to monitor in real time what my vendors and buyers are working on. As a leader, it also helps me identify the areas I need to address moving forward.

  ### 2. Plan based on data? With LeanDNA, it's easy!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Luiz G. | Analista Pcp Jr, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

I like the practicality of quickly and easily visualizing where there are excesses and shortages of material, which greatly facilitates decision-making in the planning phase. Additionally, the way LeanDNA presents everything visually and straight to the point, such as being able to check the total number of items with available materials and the total number of items with restricted materials.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

I think the least useful point is when the data is not updated, impacting the results and suggestions of LeanDNA, and an example would be the ERP update that is done at 5 AM, so throughout the day we don't have new updates on variations and materials that have arrived. Another point is that the teams that supply us with materials, when they set the material deadline in LeanDNA, the order appears as components okay, and in reality, they are not okay, as sometimes the deadline is not met.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With LeanDNa, I can act in advance regarding materials with critical deliveries and production sequencing, which greatly helps in inventory control and sequencing priorities.

  ### 3. Definition of Productivity

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Wesley A. | Analyst PCP, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 27, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

Innovative and empowers organizations to optimize their processes, reduce waste, and improve productivity. With its help, companies can identify areas for improvement, implement effective changes, and achieve sustainable results. I use it every day and noticed a big difference in my daily routine, optimizing time and improving my productivity. With its user-friendly interface, I adapted and today I can complete tasks much faster than before. The integration between departments is a fantastic thing, where in just a few clicks the user already knows the status of what they are looking for. So far, I haven't had any problems that required support.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

I would like the integration between systems to be more "let's say" online, today there are two updates.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Improving my analysis and decision-making, almost instantaneously, with data that was once more difficult to compile at a surprising speed.

  ### 4. Driving Visibility and Efficiency with LeanDNA

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nick S. | Global Sourcing Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 16, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

LeanDNA has a clean, intuitive interface that makes it easy to get actionable insights quickly. I appreciate how the dashboards are structured—they let me focus on critical part shortages and excess inventory without having to dig through endless spreadsheets. It's especially helpful for aligning with our suppliers on priorities and timelines, and I’ve found the collaboration tools to be a big time-saver. I also like how customizable the views are depending on what I’m tracking—whether it's days on hand, aging POs, or parts with high usage volatility.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

Some of the deeper analytics or filtering features take a little trial and error to fully understand, especially when you're looking to set up more complex custom reports. It would also be helpful if the system had more flexibility in how alerts or flags are generated—sometimes the default thresholds don’t quite match the nuances of our supply chain. But overall, the learning curve is pretty manageable, and the support team has been responsive when I’ve had questions.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

LeanDNA helps bring visibility and alignment across our global supply chain. One of the biggest challenges we face is managing shortages and excess inventory across hundreds of small, precision machined components. LeanDNA gives us a centralized, real-time view of those issues so we can act quickly—whether it’s expediting a critical part or rescheduling inventory that’s building up.

It’s also helping reduce manual effort. Before, our team spent hours pulling data from ERP systems and building reports in Excel just to understand what needed attention. Now, LeanDNA flags those priorities automatically and makes it easier to communicate with suppliers, which has helped improve on-time delivery and inventory turns. Overall, it’s making our sourcing process more proactive, rather than reactive.

  ### 5. Proactive and Decision Facilitator

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lénaïck O. | Responsable Supply Chain, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

Lean DNA is a complementary tool to our ERP that offers a much more ergonomic and visual user interface. The tool is rather intuitive and quick to get the hang of. The Widgets considered important are pre-established and allow for a quick global view of the processes. The reports are customizable and personalizable. A daily user can very quickly find their favorite filters and reports. Lean DNA accepts the entry of comments that allow for tracking elements and accessing information. The tool "communicates" with its user and suggests optimization proposals that they can choose to follow or not, depending on feasibility. It notably suggests reviewing certain supply parameters related to the item. The management and optimization of stocks becomes more analytical and simpler for the supplier who approves or not the proposed scenarios. Still little or not used in our environment, it is possible to assign tasks to Support Services and to share, collaborate on order book information with external parties like AirSupply at no additional cost to the Supplier. The diligence of users regarding the tool reinforces the idea that it is suitable. The training was effective and adapted to user profiles, and the DNA team remains available and attentive to our feedback or issues.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

We still lack perspective on the use of Lean DNA to precisely identify missing or optimizable features. The report filters should be more accessible or more numerous to customize even more easily. Some column labels may also be unavailable, which can sometimes limit the analysis. The "split" order proposals are not explicit enough as they do not differentiate whether they are intended to advance or delay the needs.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Lean DNA does not necessarily solve problems or not yet as far as we are concerned, but rather aims to offer a constant improvement of our parameters and our current order books.

  ### 6. An intuitive and efficient tool for order and inventory management

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dimitri M. | Approvisionneur, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 21, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

LeanDNA is very easy to use, which facilitates quick onboarding. The support is excellent and the trainers are very involved, making the guidance very effective. It allows for a considerable time saving in order management. The reports generated are comprehensive and easily adjustable according to needs.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

It is unfortunate not to be able to choose to work with or without the SPLIT option. Moreover, the translations are not always optimized. This poses a problem for some colleagues who do not speak English, especially when data needs to be exported to Excel, where the display becomes confusing for them.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

LeanDNA greatly facilitates team collaboration by allowing comments to be added to orders (items), which enables sharing the right information with the right people. It is also very useful for quickly identifying critical orders, especially those with shortages impacting production or those that need to be expedited. This allows for increased responsiveness and better prioritization of actions, which is essential to ensure the continuity of production.

  ### 7. Transformative Tool for Supply Chain Optimization

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sara L. | Sr manager, procurement operations excellence, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

From a procurement and planning standpoint, LeanDNA excels at surfacing actionable insights in a clear and prioritized way. Instead of sifting through complex spreadsheets or ERP reports, our teams can immediately focus on the highest-impact supply risks, excess inventory, and improvement opportunities. The platform strikes an effective balance between powerful functionality and ease of use. Its clean, well-organized interface is thoughtfully designed for supply chain professionals, with intuitive navigation across dashboards, reports, and opportunity lists. Clear visualizations and color-coded alerts further enhance usability, making it easy to identify and act on what matters most.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

Customization Limitations – Some dashboard views and filters are relatively rigid. More flexibility in customizing reports or creating user-defined views would make it even more valuable for diverse operational needs.  That said, new users may experience a brief learning curve, especially when interpreting some of the analytics or exploring advanced features. However, once past the initial onboarding, the tool becomes a powerful daily resource.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

LeanDNA is solving long-standing challenges such as supply chain visibility and prioritization. One of the biggest pain points it addresses is the lack of real-time, actionable data—especially when managing shortages and excess inventory across multiple sites. Before LeanDNA, our teams had to manually consolidate and interpret data from spreadsheets and ERP systems, which was time-consuming and prone to delays or missed insights.  With LeanDNA, we now have a centralized platform that highlights urgent and high-impact issues, enabling faster, more informed decisions.

  ### 8. A powerful tool at the disposal of the Supply Chain

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alexandre S. | Chef de Projet MOA ERP Supply Chain &amp; Manufacturing, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 22, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

LeanDNA presents data from an ERP in a more ergonomic and accessible way and, thanks to its algorithms, challenges the ERP settings with a different, more holistic approach. This global vision across all areas, inventory management, purchase orders, and production shortages, is missing in an ERP. Also, the routines in place with Customer Support.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

There is a slight lack of flexibility in the tool, caused by the fact that it is a common platform for all clients, which can generate frustration from the Business side that requests a supposedly 'minor' change but which turns out to be a product improvement.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

LeanDNA creates reports that do not exist in our ERP. This makes the task easier for our employees, allowing them to gain efficiency, save time, and achieve financial gains.

  ### 9. LeanDNA is a great service

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nick B. | Plant Buyer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

LeanDNA has all of my tasks in one place; I'm able to access my purchase lines, manage shortages, narrow down supplier issues, and track on time delivery with just a few clicks of a button. Launch was quick and easy in our plant, and the support is fast and reliable. I utilize this service daily for my work, as it takes all of my priorities and pulls them together into a single place. It was easy to integrate it into my daily work.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

There is not much that I do not like about the service. If I have troubles, I reach out to the LeanDNA help service and the issue is resolved quickly and efficiently.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Plan for every part, inventory management, obsolescence management, and reduction of late deliveries.

  ### 10. Assistance with analysis and increased efficiency

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Yoann H. | Approvisionneur, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 27, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

Lean DNA allows you to easily and intuitively anticipate future problems. The ergonomics and accessibility of the various reports are perfectly intuitive and easy to handle. It is a time saver and builds confidence in the work done, as well as providing a significant opportunity to identify areas for improvement.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

I would like not to have the image of my ERP from the day before but in real time, it is probably the most penalizing.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It allows me to detect excessive stock levels in a simple way by suggesting immediate actions to take. Detecting weak signals or what I call future shortages simply helps to reduce the number of actual shortages!

  ### 11. A powerful tool for supply chain optimization

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Aviation & Aerospace | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

LeanDNA allows for better visualization and prioritization of procurement actions thanks to its clear dashboards and automated analyses. The tool facilitates collaboration between procurement, planning, and production teams, while offering a considerable time saving in the analysis of excess or missing inventory. Its ability to detect opportunities for stock reduction or urgent actions is a real asset in a complex industrial environment.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

Some custom indicators are limited, often requiring an Excel export to refine certain analyses. Greater flexibility in advanced filters and customization criteria would be appreciated.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

LeanDNA allows solving several key issues related to inventory management and supply chain performance management. It facilitates the rapid detection of critical shortages, stock excesses, and blocked orders, while prioritizing high-impact actions. This improves team responsiveness, reduces stockouts, and helps better balance stock levels. By centralizing data and automating analyses, LeanDNA saves valuable time and ensures reliable decision-making.

  ### 12. Very practical and helpful

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Fatimazahrae L. | Buyer | Supplier Performance Lead, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

As a Supplier Performance Manager, I truly appreciate LeanDNA for the visibility and structure it brings to supplier follow-up. It helps streamline communication, prioritize actions, and monitor supplier performance in real time. The collaborative platform makes it easier to align with suppliers and internal teams, and the data-driven insights support more informed decision-making

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

The Quality section is useful, especially with the visibility on PPM. It would be even more valuable if we could also track the root causes of non-conformities directly in the tool. Adding this feature would help us better analyze trends and define targeted action plans with suppliers.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

LeanDNA helps solve the challenge of monitoring supplier performance in a clear, real-time, and visual way. Without it, I would need to extract data manually from the ERP, which is time-consuming and not always easy to analyze. With LeanDNA, I have immediate access to up-to-date KPIs like PPM and OTD.

  ### 13. I highly recommend LeanDNA to optimize supply chain management.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Saïd G. | Supply Chain Project Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

LeanDNA is very useful for supply chain management. It helps reduce excess inventory and better organize stock. With its reports, one can quickly make good decisions. It also facilitates collaboration between teams by sharing important information, making planning easier and more effective.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

In LeanDNA, some features may be less useful. For example, advanced tools or very detailed reports may not be necessary for small teams or those who prefer to keep things simple. Some reports are so detailed that they are often rarely used. I think we should allow more flexibility for report building.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Excess Stock: It helps to identify and reduce stock surpluses, thus optimizing space and resources.

Stockouts: By better forecasting needs, LeanDNA helps to avoid product shortages.

  ### 14. Game Changing

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** ATILA D. | SR Materials Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2025

I use it every day. 
Easy to use, it's helping a lot our stock control.
The layout is simple and it really helps you to identify and avoid unnecessary purchases.
The customer support is great, we always have a team ready to help you when you need.

My job is to plan imported suppliers, so I have a long production + transit lead time to manage.
LeanDNA helps in this vision. Showing when production will need, when I need to speed up or postpone an order.

  ### 15. Simple:  Game changer

  ### 16. All data was accurately transferred and verified in a timely manner.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Devices | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 02, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

LeanDNA implementation was quick and smooth. The LeanDNA team continues to provide support and address any issues that the business needs. LeanDNA presents the information in our MRP in a more user friendly and intuitive way. In addition, the recommendations are useful to reduce excess inventory or resize MRP data to allow the business to run leaner. Moreover, the built in reports and dashboards are useful and simple to use. The ability to track user performance and engagement is a plus. Lastly, the customization and continuous product enhancement ensures the business has the tools to make better business decisions.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

There is a desire to have a writeback feature. In addition, some legacy reports have limits on customization.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

LeanDNA is providing great visibility in problems affecting our MRP system. This allows us to fix those problems in order to have our MRP working efficiently. The recommendations provided by LeanDNA have enabled us to reduce excess and obsolete inventory.  In addition, LeanDNA allows us to move away from spreadsheets and the software allows us to standardize reporting. Moreover, the software gives KPIs and high level visibility to upper management.

  ### 17. Excellent Tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Manufacturing | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

I like how simple is it to pull reports for material planning and tracking and LeanDNA provides me the ability to customize my pages and align columns to easily pull reports with little to no manual adjustments. Tasks that took me hours now take me minutes. The analytics within the tool make daily tracking simple and easy to follow.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

I don't like the assumptions that LeanDNA makes around safety stock/safety time. It can mislead me to review data that is not actually real. Some parts within our tool has safety stock and safety time listed in the "Master Data" which creates additional work to go into SAP and confirm which data is real and what is assumed based on formulas within the reports. I also do not like how LeanDNA makes assumptions around past due POs. On the Supply/Demand trackers I have noticed that parts will be mis-labeled because the tool assumes POs will arrive on time, even if past due.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am able to pull projected line of balances daily within minutes to highlight current and future risks in on time delivery. Using LeanDNA tools I can notify team members of potential problems and work to correct them before we are line down on the production floor

  ### 18. LeanDNA: A Game-Changer in Supply Chain Optimization

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Deniz B. | Senior Global Manager - Inventory and Warehouse , Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 04, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

At AGI, LeanDNA has been a game-changer in how we approach inventory optimization. Since implementing it at our Omaha and Albion locations, I’ve seen firsthand how the platform provides clear, data-driven insights that enable more proactive decision-making. The automated analytics and visibility into excess and shortage risks have significantly improved our inventory review sessions. I also appreciate how LeanDNA facilitates collaboration across teams, making it easier to drive alignment and take action on key priorities. Its ease of use and powerful reporting have made my work more efficient and impactful, helping AGI optimize inventory while supporting broader business goals. Additionally, their exceptional customer support stands out—they are always responsive and proactive in addressing questions and ensuring a seamless user experience.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

One area where LeanDNA could improve is its capability for demand forecasting. While it excels in providing insights for inventory optimization and addressing shortages and excess, it relies heavily on the accuracy of upstream demand forecasts from external systems. At AGI, we’ve noticed that having more robust, built-in forecasting tools or integration capabilities could further enhance its value, particularly when navigating fluctuating market conditions.

In addition, I’m actively collaborating with each user to ensure they incorporate LeanDNA into their daily workflows and develop standard work around the platform. This hands-on approach not only maximizes the value of LeanDNA but also ensures consistent usage, enabling us to leverage its full potential while addressing any gaps collaboratively. Enhanced forecasting support would further elevate the platform’s effectiveness in driving proactive and informed decision-making.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

LeanDNA is solving critical inventory optimization challenges at AGI, including managing excess inventory, reducing shortages, and improving visibility across our supply chain. The platform’s data-driven insights enable us to make proactive decisions, align better with operational goals, and meet executive mandates for inventory reductions. By highlighting actionable opportunities, LeanDNA helps us address both immediate and long-term inventory issues effectively.

One of the biggest benefits is the ability to streamline our inventory review sessions, which are now more focused and productive. LeanDNA’s user-friendly dashboards and automated reporting save significant time in preparing analyses, allowing us to focus on driving results. Additionally, the collaborative tools in LeanDNA make it easier to engage cross-functional teams, fostering alignment and accountability across our organization.

Overall, LeanDNA has improved efficiency, decision-making, and communication in our supply chain operations, delivering measurable results that support AGI’s broader business objectives.

  ### 19. Incredible the speed to analyze the data.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** W D. | Supervisor de Produção, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 26, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

The most useful aspect of leanDNA is the ease with which you can consult the data and obtain information quickly and efficiently.

The advantages are many, but the ease of consulting the data quickly and efficiently surpasses all others.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

The update is only once a day, there should be more updates throughout the days, this way the availability of information would be more online.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Availability of material for the production of products on the manufacturing line.

  ### 20. Easy to keep track

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Hope M. | Buyer Planner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

The priority lists they help make finding issues faster. How easy it is to get a hold of customer service, as I'm on LeanDNA everyday multiple times a day for work.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

The consistent emails every time it updates. It starts to become a lot.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A problem LeanDNA is solving is pulling excel forms to create and show our usage and what we are behind on. It makes it easy for me to do my weekly report that gives every team updates of what they need in one form. Less work, but easy to read.

  ### 21. Easy to use and intuitive

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Aviation & Aerospace | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

A step-by-step personalized training conducted by Maxime. The tool is easy to handle and goes even further than I thought, it looks very promising and helps to make daily life easier. I can't wait to see its full deployment within our team!

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

I would have liked the tool to also capture the progress of the manufactured products. Ideally, if the filter system were similar to that of Excel (filter at the top of each column), it would be more ergonomic.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have an ERP that is very difficult to read and quite complicated to understand for long-term vision. Facilitate daily tasks, save time, and eventually have a common tool across services to ease communication.

  ### 22. Notable improvement in supply chain visibility

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mounir  s. | Responsable approvisionnement, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

LeanDNA allowed me to improve the management of procurement actions through better visibility and prioritization.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

The platform is intuitive, the indicators are clear, and the prioritization tables facilitate daily decision-making.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

LeanDNA allows you to visualize critical needs in real time, structure action plans, and better align purchasing, supply chain, and production teams. This results in better anticipation, a reduction in emergencies, and smoother communication with suppliers.

  ### 23. A beautiful tool with an interface much better than that offered by a standard ERP.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Christian K. | Responsable Approvisionnement, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 16, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

Several analysis reports that provide a good overview of our Supply Chain

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

The information is not in real-time. Also, you need to manage to stabilize the tool, as there are too many changes and in a way that is too constant... this can be disturbing for the collaborators who do not yet feel comfortable with the tool. The latest "site report" with performance evolution; good information but the visual is not optimized... the page is too loaded with information.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

LeanDNA gives us the opportunity to have a tool with multiple features. Several analysis reports that allow us to make decisions more easily.

  ### 24. Excellent Tool and very user friendly.  Beautiful layout and design...

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Devices | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

The layout and interface is very visually appealing and easy to read.  It's not an eye-sore and all the reports and dashboards are very well organized and easy to read and see.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

I have been using it moderately for a few months now in my role and I don't have any negatives to report at the moment...

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is helping with providing a demand forecast for raw materials components based on top level forecasts which we did not have before and was a very manual effort putting many excel reports together for that.  With LeanDNA, I'm able to download a demand forecast for components on a monthly basis (my usage) or any time I like!

  ### 25. Accessibility and quick and effective visibility to the selected metrics

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bernard L. | Responsable approvisionnements, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 23, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

User-friendly and very readable interface. Report of actions to be taken is concise and effective. Very suitable for managers to lead and monitor their team's actions.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

The possibility of multiple sorting would be an additional asset.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

LeanDna allows for quick and very readable visualization of classic supply chain issues (shortages, excess). It is an asset for your responsiveness and effective targeting of actions to be prioritized. The available reports and graphs allow you to know the status and evolution of your results at any time.

  ### 26. Clear and reliable data

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Julie P. | Chef de projet Supply Chain, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 16, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

LeanDNA is a new way to analyse our data. Dashboards and reports are easy to understand for every new user. LeanDNA team has always been available and helpful to support us in the early days and still today.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

I hope more details about production scheduling activity would be the next improvement !

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Greater visibility of shortage risks and the ability to anticipate them. It would be useful to further improve production scheduling data.

  ### 27. LeanDNA is easy to use

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Betty M. | Document Control Coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 12, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

LeanDNA is so easy to use.  It was easy to show our suppliers on what they need to do to respond to delivery and any delivery changes.  I like that I can download a lot of the information into a spreadsheet to send to my suppliers.  Then I can upload their response back into LeanDNA.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

I wish it would backup later in the day than twice in the AM.  It doesn't get real time information from our system to LeanDNA, so our supplier's don't get actual information without use sending them emails or send them information in LeanDNA.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Does not give actual information to supplier's.   It doesn't, as I have to look into my system to see what information I need to pass onto the supplier.

  ### 28. Modine Buyer/Planner Review

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

Being able to create/obtain reports with just a click of a button. 
Any report you can pretty much imagine, LeanDNA can generate it. 
With each report being very customizable per user.
The ability to download all reports is a huge benefit also.
The speedy response time from support Lean team members & their willingness to listen to issues, gather needed details and have discrepancies resolved.
***Would Recommend!

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

Nothing noted yet. 
This is not a dislike just observation, LeanDNA is still working on information accuracy as the program is still being implemented/customized per company use.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Can resolve the time it takes to run any given report. Which in turn allows me to focus on other areas of my job.

  ### 29. Very effective tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cesar  H. | Material Planner, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

Quick update of the PNS and the generated chart showing the performance

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

I have no criticisms, as I am learning a lot with Leandna

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Before, we had greater difficulty with supply chain analysis, and with Leandna, it is helping us a lot in this analysis and also in inventory control, making the process much more agile than it was.

  ### 30. LeanDNA is fantastic

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Shelby S. | Senior Program Buyer III, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

Lean is next to none! It brings your MRP system to life, in a pretty picture! Every manufacturing company needs LeanDNA.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

I do not have any dislikes, it's easy to use, there are plenty of trainings available, I do not have complaints.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Predictive Analysis on Program Shortages:
I utilize the Line of Balance methodology daily to monitor shortages across programs. By updating each line item regularly, the data becomes accessible to all stakeholders, allowing visibility into ongoing efforts to resolve shortages.

  ### 31. A powerful tool to assist in managing shortages

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Aviation & Aerospace | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 23, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

I appreciate the workflow, the interconnection between the different reports, and the ability to build an architecture to adapt the tool to our needs. We have worked extensively with LEAN DNA to build an architecture that allows us to manage our shortages through very precise and practical workflows such as: Clear To Build, Line of Balance, Purchase Orders, Shortages by Orders, Resources, Tasks Procurement.... The responsiveness of the customer support teams allows for constant evolution of the tool and yet remains quick because we really make a lot of requests :)

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

I find it unfortunate that some reports lack filters that can be found in other reports. The flexibility of the filters is quite problematic, whereas it would seem simple to have the same "practicality" on this subject as we can find in EXCEL, for example. 
The fact that we also cannot filter on free text is sometimes problematic. 
There are also certain columns that we have in some reports that we would like to find in other reports.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Lean DNA helps us to have good visibility of the issues we have with the most critical references on major programs, in a quick and factual manner. We had this data through our ERP, but it required a very large number of extractions for a result that was not as good. LEAN DNA, thanks to the task, has allowed us to significantly reduce the number of email exchanges, the loss of exchange histories on critical references. Lean DNA has replaced a multitude of Excel files (LOB, Reference Tracking, etc...).

  ### 32. Enjoyable experience with program.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Max D. | Purchasing Team Leader, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 20, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

I'm able to see what production orders I'm able to complete and build, as well as which parts are running late to our requirements.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

Cannot see the entire production schedule in order in graphical form. Have to search each production order individually.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Allows me to see the full shortage list and execute any necessary changes to ensure better alignment. Also allows my team to view the cancellation recommendations in a consistent manner.

  ### 33. A powerful tool, a team dedicated to customer satisfaction

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Laurent P. | Coordinateur Stocks et en-cours, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

Lean DNA is a powerful tool with a multitude of analyses available. The support team is really available and attentive, which is a valuable support for making the best use of this tool.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

Not being a top user, I am sometimes lost in the indicators, but this is just a personal feeling that cannot be taken as a generalization.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Lean DNA allows the aggregation of a multitude of data and the delivery of analyses that can themselves be customized according to needs.

  ### 34. excellence order management

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David Y. | Purchasing Team Leader, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 11, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

the order management function very good and useful, also the shortages very clear for understand, it is easy to make comments for PO late lines.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

the dashboard cannot edit by ourselves, and the clear to Build better extend to sub-components level.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

the LeanDNA give us visibility to see the problems like shortages, excess orders, late Po lines. when we easy to see the problems, this almost help us fix 80% problems.

  ### 35. Facilitate the daily work

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Aviation & Aerospace | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 14, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

A practical and quite simple tool to use for tracking future shortages but also for analyzing and optimizing stocks. Excellent customer support always attentive. Very useful reports/graphs that are regularly updated with improvements.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

There is still progress to be made on the layout. For example: fixed columns on certain reports, not all Sorts or Filters are available on all reports, etc., taking Excel as an example that everyone uses.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A common tool that allows for the identification and internal sharing of information on critical shortages (avoids email exchanges, Teams, calls, etc.). It also allows for the identification of future shortages as well as opportunities for stock optimization.

  ### 36. Very useful for quickly visualizing the actions to take with suppliers and internally

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amaury V. | Approvisionneur, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 17, 2024

1-Detailed view of consumption by reference
2-Management of actions facilitated (MOVE IN, MOVE OUT)
3-Management of supplier commitment dates

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

Lack of updates in relation to the ERP (we might miss some of the day's receipts if we rely solely on LeanDNA)

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

LeanDNA allows us on the Clear to Build to find the missing by OF where the information is not clear in our ERP - This therefore allows us to better manage the missing on OF to be launched in the short/medium term.

**Reviewed by:** ADRIANO O. | Planning Coordinator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2025

Accuracy and speed with ready and updated data.

There could be more data aimed at better production sequencing based on material availability and customer needs.

Reducing analysis time, saving time searching for other information to create reports and providing more accurate information for production

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ricardo P. | Gerente de logística, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2025

  ### 42. leanDNA is very useful and easy to use

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Anne Sophie P. | Chef de Projet Direction Supply Chain, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

  ### 43. Tried LeanDNA-Here's what I think

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Manufacturing | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2025

**What do you like best about APEX?**

The dashboards contain all of the important information that I use on a daily basis in one easy to use page.  The reports that can be pulled from LeanDNA make my job much easier.  I use LeanDNA daily in conjunction with SAP and they work well together.

**What do you dislike about APEX?**

The only downside that I see is that LeanDNA is not in real time.  It syncs with SAP twice per day but information in SAP is ever changing so Lean DNA may not be up to date and current.

**What problems is APEX solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It shows me current part shortages and future shortages that allow me to get ahead of any problems or issues before they occur.

  ### 44. It's great and useful

**Reviewed by:** cynthia w. | buyer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2025

Very interesting daily assistance that allows for increased productivity and highlights priorities. It is also a valuable aid for having a synthetic view of order books and enables effective tracking of actions. The collaborative aspect allows information to be shared with all users, thus avoiding email exchanges.

Increasing the possibility of customization according to each user's needs would be a major asset
