Three solutions, one mission

All our software shares the same philosophy: simple enough for anyone and everyone to use, and capable of delivering measurable impact on efficiency and revenue.

We have several Lean software tools available to improve operational excellence. Standard work instructions pose an ongoing challenge for many businesses. So, we developed GEN-OPS. It is an intuitive and effective cloud-based solution designed to simplify standards management.

Mining companies tend to look to ERP / CMMS for process control; consequently, optimisation is hard to address. So we developed TEMPO to deliver critical path maintenance planning and short interval control. You can have operational excellence delivered by every technician in your maintenance bay and sustain it.

my-CI is an intuitive, flexible, and powerful mobile platform to accelerate and broaden workforce contribution to continuous improvement. Create checklists, unify your standards, and solve problems faster – all in one app.
