Who is LeanDNA?

LeanDNA is helping solve the $150B problem that global manufacturers face – too much inventory. Excess inventory ties up critical working capital and keeps manufacturing companies from being as efficient as they should be. Similarly, these companies are faced with operational fires related to critical inventory shortages - creating delays in delivering their product to customers on time. Without an effective way to optimize inventory, manufacturers are buying too much, not enough, or it’s in the wrong place at the wrong time.

LeanDNA’s cloud-based analytics platform provides operational efficiency and improves on-time delivery by arming Supply Chain teams with data and actions aimed at reducing shortages, optimizing inventory, and improving work. The platform utilizes predictive and prescriptive analytics to support inventory decisions, find opportunities to get ahead of future shortages and drive collaboration across teams, suppliers, and factory sites.

 What is the Solution Engineer Role (SE)?

The SE collaborates with the Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success teams to assess customer needs and determine how the LeanDNA solution can address those needs. The SE is responsible for understanding the full breadth of the LeanDNA solution as well as the prospect or customer's in-depth supply chain business issues. Using that deep product and domain knowledge, the SE determines how LeanDNA can best address particular problems and helps communicate those solutions to the prospect or customer.
