Ideas don’t improve businesses. Verified outcomes do.
ZenKaizen runs your improvement ideas through PDCA and counts one only when someone independent has checked that it worked.

An idea isn’t done when it’s submitted.
It’s done when someone who didn’t raise it confirms it worked. That is the difference between an improvement programme that reports activity and one that proves results.
The path every idea walks
Five stops, the same at every site. The status at each stop is the one your team sees in ZenKaizen.
- SubmittedAnyone on site
Someone raises an idea
From the floor, in about a minute: what to change, the problem it fixes, and a before photo if there is one.
- ApprovedChampion
A Champion reviews it
Scored on impact, feasibility, cost efficiency and urgency, then approved, held or turned down, with the reason written down.
- In progressImprovement team
The team works it through PDCA
Plan the problem and root cause, do the countermeasure with owned actions, check it with real measures, act on what was learned. The A3 fills in as they go.
- Awaiting verificationVerifier, never the submitter
An independent Verifier checks the evidence
The evidence pack sets the readings before the change against the readings after, so the decision rests on numbers, not on how the project felt.
- VerifiedYour outcome dashboards
Only then does it count
Completed means verified. The measure that matters is the share of ideas verified within 30 days of starting work.
Everything the improvement team needs, nothing it doesn’t
A3 that writes itself
Problem, root cause, countermeasure, actions, measures and photos, on one printable sheet built from the cycle.
Evidence before a decision
Measures can follow your site KPIs, so the Verifier sees the baseline, the change and how often target was hit.
Daily management board
Site KPIs, today’s deviations and the morning briefing on one screen, with a full-screen view for the shop-floor TV.
Deviations to actions
Raise a deviation, give it an owner and a due date, escalate it, or turn it into an improvement idea.
Gemba and outcome dashboards
Where every idea is, by department, and how many reached a verified outcome each month.
Organised the way you are
Brands, sites and departments, with roles that keep each site’s work in its own lane.
Priced by site, not by seat.
Every plan has every feature and starts with 30 days free. Plans differ only in how many sites they cover.
