LeanDNA connects to the ERP systems a manufacturer already runs, cleans and standardizes the inventory and purchase order data inside them, and turns it into a daily prioritized list of what planners and buyers should act on. The platform is called APEX. It covers materials availability, inventory optimization, procurement execution, supplier collaboration, clear to build, and scenario modeling in one place, so teams stop rebuilding the same picture in spreadsheets every morning.
No. LeanDNA sits on top of your ERP and syncs with it rather than replacing it. Most of our customers run several ERPs across their sites and have no intention of consolidating them. APEX normalizes the data across your ERPs, so a planner in one plant and a planner in another are working from the same definitions, and it can write approved changes back into the ERP so the system of record stays updated.
Discrete manufacturers with complex bills of material and multiple production sites, typically in aerospace and defense, HVAC, automotive, industrial and medical devices. The people who use it every day are materials planners, buyers, supply chain managers and the operations executives who answer for on-time delivery and inventory levels. It is not built for retail, ecommerce or distribution inventory.
Those platforms are strongest at network-level planning: what the plan should be across the enterprise over months and quarters. LeanDNA works at the execution layer underneath that and at the site level, on what a buyer should do today about a specific part from a specific supplier. Manufacturers often run both types of systems. If your problem is that the plan exists but nobody can tell which of four thousand open purchase orders to chase this morning, that is the gap APEX fills.
Across our customer base the common pattern is an 18% improvement in on-time delivery, a 32% reduction in shortages, and a 14% reduction in inventory. Individual results vary with starting data quality and how consistently teams adopt the daily workflow.
Time to value is with LeanDNA is faster than most enterprise supply chain software, because APEX reads data you already have rather than asking you to build a new plan from scratch. The realistic expectation is weeks to first insight and a quarter before the inventory and shortage numbers move, since those depend on buyers changing how they operate.
Pricing is subscription based and scales with the number of sites connected to the platform. The fastest way to get an estimate is a short scoping conversation about how many sites and ERPs are in play.
LeanDNA holds a SOC 2 Type II certification covering security and confidentiality, and runs entirely on AWS infrastructure certified to ISO 27001. Data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit, customer data is never shared with external AI services, and independent penetration testing runs annually.
