Genba frees your time for what really matters from day one. It runs the day-to-day of your business and keeps improving your SOPs for you.
Anyone on the line or the sales floor texts what’s wrong. Genba sorts it out, loops in the right person, and remembers how it was solved. Teams close more tickets per shift, and hard-won know-how stays put when people move on. Works on any phone — nothing to download, nothing to log into.
No dashboard to open. Every morning you get one report, a short to-do list, and any missing SOP answers to give — all answered by reply.
Yesterday’s numbers and anything unusual, every morning at 7.
Only the decisions that need you. Reply with a number to clear each one.
Genba asks one question at a time. Text or voice note your answer and it updates the SOP.
One escalation, answered once. Genba replies to the worker, rewrites the SOP, and waits for your approval.
Stores, DC, Finance, Procurement and Marketing all text the same Genba number. The overview shows how much was answered straight from your SOPs — and what still needs you.
When a worker reports a change, Genba drafts the SOP edit. You see the current and proposed wording side by side, with the exact source.
Open any staff thread. Every Genba reply shows the SOP and revision it came from, and each chat shows the escalation it triggered.
Genba never guesses. Questions no SOP covers go to the department owner, safety issues page a manager immediately, and every answer is relayed back to the worker.
Genba scans every SOP for missing values and tracks the questions it couldn’t answer. One tap asks the right expert by text and fills the gap.
Paste or upload an SOP for any department. Genba follows every chat and escalation that touches it and suggests updates when practice drifts from the document.
Genba reads live stock and orders to answer questions, and writes transfers, POs and notes back — so your SOPs and your systems stay in sync.
Operators, associates and drivers message Genba from SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram or LINE. Any handset, any language, zero setup on their end.
It spots machines trending out of spec, answers from your SOPs and planograms, raises and assigns tickets, and pulls in a supervisor exactly when it’s needed.
Every workaround, reset trick and vendor quirk gets saved as it happens — so experience doesn’t leave with a retirement or a resignation.
The best answers live in people’s heads — a QC lead’s reject rule, a driver’s reroute, a finance manager’s judgment call. Genba gathers them from everyday chats, pairs them with your SOPs and live systems, and sends them to whoever is solving a problem right now.
A new receiver asked whether to accept bruised Musang King. Genba applied Bu Sari’s stricter 5% rule, logged 3 rejected boxes and filed claim CL-0932 — no supervisor needed.
Send Genba photos, clips or voice notes — in whatever language your team speaks.
Today every question lands on the owner across a dozen WhatsApp groups. Genba answers from your SOPs, escalates only what needs you, and learns from every answer.
40 staff, one question each per day, 90% answered from SOPs. Same assumptions as the calculator below.
Every question that goes to a manager costs about $6.33: 5 minutes of the manager’s time, 15 minutes of the worker waiting. Genba answers 90% from your SOPs for free; the rest are resolved escalations at $1 after the first 20 each month. 26 working days.
Answers straight from your SOPs are unlimited and free. You’re billed only when Genba takes a question it couldn’t answer, gets it to the right manager, brings the answer back to the worker, and closes the loop.
First 20 resolved escalations every month, free.
After the free 20. No seat fees, no platform fee.
Automatically applied above 1,000 resolutions a month.
No. Genba is just a phone number. People text it like they’d text a coworker — no download, no account, no password. Managers get a web console for oversight.
Yes. Plain SMS works on any phone, including basic flip phones and shared store devices. If someone can send a text, they can use Genba.
It connects to common CMMS, ERP, POS and inventory tools so tickets, purchase orders and stock counts land where they already live. No rip-and-replace.
It never guesses. If no SOP or past answer covers the question, Genba tells the worker it’s checking and escalates to the right owner — the store manager, Finance, Procurement, whoever you set. Safety issues page a manager immediately. The answer is relayed back to the worker and offered to you as an SOP update.
No. Any department can have SOPs in Genba — stores, warehouse, delivery, but also Finance, Procurement, Marketing and HR. Upload or paste your SOPs, and Genba tracks how each one is actually used and suggests updates.
Every answer shows its source — the SOP page, the revision, or the person who confirmed it. Anyone can flag a bad answer, a lead corrects it once, and the fix sticks for everyone.
You do. Everything is stored in your company’s private workspace, exportable at any time, and never used to train models for anyone else.
