What do you like best about LeanDNA?

LeanDNA is very user friendly and makes the boring ERP data more useful in form of charts or graphs. Trends over time and the ability to see the effects of changes in strategy are tracked on a daily basis. You can react much quicker to make the necessary adjustments if the change was ineffective, or better yet, if the change was very effective you can expand it to other areas to gain the maximum benefits. In this world of making decisions quickly and accurately, LeanDNA is an extremely useful tool to take this to the next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LeanDNA?

Improvements are constantly being made and they are open to suggestions for modifications, but patience is needed to wait for them to be implemented. Patience in this fast paced world is not in great supply. If this cycle could be improved or get better over time it would be much appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LeanDNA solving and how is that benefiting you?

Optimization of the recommended safety stock for Raw materials. The correct amount to maintain a high level of customer service, and a low enough level to keep the finance team happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LeanDNA Overview

What is LeanDNA?

LeanDNA software enables discrete manufacturing operational teams to predictively balance supply and demand by synchronizing procurement and production to ensure on-time delivery, reduce inventory waste, and prevent shortages. The platform is factory-centric, bridging the gap between complex supply chains and inventory operations and their outdated, labor-intensive methods for reporting, analytics, and inventory decision making. The software integrates with any ERP system and normalizes data across disparate ERP, planning tools, and other supply chain execution tools. After establishing cross-company visibility, the platform uses artificial intelligence to deliver prescriptive and prioritized insights that procurement teams use to confidently optimize inventory, drive sustainable supply chain efficiency, reduce working capital, and unlock new business growth.

What do you like best about LeanDNA?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LeanDNA?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LeanDNA 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
