Solastis provides Customized Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Solutions

Delivering value according to the customer’s perspective is one of the basic ideas of lean management. CRM tools assist companies in organizing and accessing customer data to identify opportunities for improvement. But nowadays, the CRM marketplace is flooded with software products and offerings that are basic and do not satisfy real business requirements. This is why startups and scaleups are developing customizable CRM solutions for different applications in process industries.

Solastis is a Singapore-based startup that develops customizable CRM solutions. The startup’s product allows the creation of multiple case types to represent the different products and services, making data segregation easier. For these different case types, Solastis offers a sequential project management system that follows a specific task template. This helps organizations to bring consistency and a repeatable structure, as well as identify bottlenecks in customer issue resolution. The Solastis platform also has an automatic process to assign responsibility for tasks, allowing the seamless transition of casework from one person/department to the others.

SCM offers Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Solutions for Material Management

The efficient management of raw materials and finished goods is critical in implementing lean management in the process industries. This requires a seamless flow of material information from order placement to delivery. To this end, startups are developing ERP solutions that help in the management of materials and goods. These solutions provide companies with the insights required to plan manufacturing and material procurement processes.

SCM Software Labs is an Indian startup developing ERP solutions for material management. The startup’s software is a web application that does not need to be downloaded and installed, avoiding the need for any additional IT infrastructure. The solution provides provision to record the quality check details of incoming material and creates material return requests for the supplier. Moreover, the software generates a barcode for each received material, which helps in the kitting of items needed for lean manufacturing. The barcode system also helps in the replenishment of inventory by efficient ordering.

Smart Lean digitizes Lean Management

The implementation of all the lean management principles requires proper documentation. Even though digital bookkeeping software products, like Excel, provide a way to record this data for individual processes, the compilation on an organizational scale is inefficient. Since lean management aims to reduce the complexity of processes, any documentation procedure that does not add value has to be eliminated. This is why startups are developing solutions that digitize the implementation of lean management.

Smart Lean is a Spanish startup that develops digitization solutions for lean management. The startup’s Smart KPI is an operational management software that verifies compliance with KPIs (Key Performance Index) and plans improvement actions to correct losses. Smart 5S is the digital audit platform that creates checklists and verifies compliance with 5S standards, providing accurate and real-time information to act quickly in case of anomalies. Another software, Smart Gap manages corrective actions and projects and helps monitor the work progress. Smart Lean also provides an automatic data capture system that computes the real capacity to produce with quality while ensuring maximum process performance.

Rook’s improves Process Efficiency

The establishment of a continuous workflow is important in implementing lean management practices in process industries. All bottlenecks and interruptions that may appear are to be identified and managed to ensure workflows are pulled in the system. This pull aids in optimizing resources’ capacity and manufacturing products only if there is an actual need. Therefore, startups and scaleup are developing process optimization software to help monitor workflow.

Rook is a Canadian startup that develops process management software solutions. The startup’s solution monitors the processes in real-time, creating visibility on all operations. The data from each process helps provide critical insights to make eligible decisions using big data analytics. These insights help to identify and eliminate processes that do not add value to the products. As a result, this develops an efficient and streamlined workflow while ensuring maximum performance.

Propel develops Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Solution

The successful implementation of lean management needs continuous monitoring of the products from conceptualization to production. Startups are developing product lifecycle management software to access and evaluate the product history. These types of platforms enable companies to monitor the growth, stability, and decline of a product. Organizations are also able to deal with the rising intricacy and technological challenges of creating a new product with these solutions.

Propel is a US-based startup that provides lean product management solutions. The startup’s PLM solution consolidates all product records of a company into a single unified solution. Propel uses cloud storage to enable any company personnel with valid credentials to securely access product information from any device. This allows teams to safely untether themselves from the office and interact with other team members or clients without worrying about missing important updates. This also helps in the communication of vital feedback that is useful for designers to incorporate built-in quality (BIQ) in products. Further, the feedback provides an opportunity for procurement and manufacturing teams to find product materials and parts that are durable and cost-effective.
