Supply Chain Project Manager EME Farming Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Boosting Efficiency in Our Production Line!" May 30, 2024 5.0 KanbanBOX has significantly improved our kanban card management process. The ability to track inventory levels, monitor production flow, and receive real-time notifications has been incredibly valuable. The intuitive platform's interface allows us to focus on production without struggling with complex software. The mobile app is incredibly helpful, when the operators are on the production line or away from their desk, they can easily access and update kanban information and status. Real-time data synchronization between our ERP and automatic warehouse ensures accurate inventory management and efficient production flow. Last but not least, Whenever we’ve had questions or needed assistance, the support team has been prompt, highly professional and helpful. Pros Intuitive interface and Real-Time Monitoring Automated Kanban Dimensioning proposal Integration with ERP, automatic warehouse, Suppliers and Customers Mobile app and support team always available and helpful Cons I haven’t found any major issues with the software yet Review Source Response from KanbanBOX June 5, 2024 Thank you, Ayoub M., for your review. We are delighted to read your feedback and will share it with our developers and support team. We remain open to suggestions for enhancement, in line with our lean continuous improvement philosophy. JB Julie B. Customer Service Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Kanban Review" May 29, 2025 5.0 It worked very well except the sending of releases on PO's that were closed. The Kanban was easy to use. Pros It was quick process, easy to use. Didn't have to receive an email from a customer buyer to make a release on their PO. Cons When a customer purchase order was complete it was still sending releases. I typed a comment in the Kanban alerting them the PO was complete and shortly after I received another release for the same PO. Review Source Roberto B. Production Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Eight years with Kanbanbox" April 22, 2020 3.0 Pros Easy way to manage my daily operations, from purchase to production , the network is working efficiently, my suppliers ( internal or external) can every time check the situation of kanban stocks. Since we have introduced kanbanbox in our business , we reduce delays with our customers and supplier . Another plus is the statistic record report that you have about all the operations made. Cons Honestly what I didn't like in the past has been improved Review Source Response from KanbanBOX May 14, 2020 Thank you, Roberto, for the positive feedback. We are aware that the improvement process of KanbanBOX is still in place and we work hard to continuously add new features. FP Francesco P. Lean Coordinator Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Kanbanbox: a strategic tool for the lean" March 29, 2020 5.0 Our company, Lago Spa, was using the pull system when it appers essential to adopt a new tool to manage easier the old paper kanban. We looked for a software that could offer a visual and a simply management of the kanban for our warehouse workers and, at the same time, that could share the kanban logic with suppliers, to make smarter also the puchasing office. The electonic kanban permitted us to strenghten the relationships with our suppliers, thanks to these main functions: the sharing of the blackboard, the traceability of the large packages and the rigour in observing the lead time. Pros What I like most about Kanbanbox is the idea through which it has been designed and implemented, that offers a possibility of a clear communication and a smart interaction between suppliers and clients. The main goals in using this software are both the reduction of non-value time for our purchasing office and the growth of the efficiency of the supply chain. Another positive aspect of Kanbanbok is its ductility: thanks to its logic and simply language we had the possibility to apply this system also in the carpentry, which is a strategic and multifaceted sector in our company. The electronic kanban permits to manage different types and quantity of products during all the different phases of the production, keeping the stocks at a minimun level and previewing the future needs. In my opinion Kanbanbox can been considered not only a tool for the supply chain but also an instrument to support the planning of the inner production. Cons Since Kanbanbox receives inputs from the financial markets and the buyers as well, there are some areas that can be implemented thanks to the suggestions of the users. For instance, we asked Kanbanbox to develop dashbords that can be personalized to show kpi. This function, at the beginning, was for us less high-performance than now. Review Source Response from KanbanBOX May 12, 2020 Thank you for your feedback, Francesco. To provide better service around the KPI monitoring, we have implemented the possibility to gather data from KanbanBOX and to customize BI dashboards with different BI Tools. In particular, we have developed pres-set dashboards for Microsoft PowerBI. Sergio S. Operations manager Renewables & Environment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Kanbanbox and us, a success story" March 28, 2020 5.0 I've been one of the first users of kanbanbox many years ago. Our production was previously pulled by physical kanban card system. Just from the beginning I felt that something good happened in the company. From that day many things happened: We connected kanbanbox to our ERP we synchronized our drawings database We extended the kanban system also to multi-supplier item categories We connected our last laser cutting machine in order to start cutting new batches just after the customer asks for them with no time loss or in-office information process In few words kanbanbox was by our side during last years while our company was doubling its size Pros Easiness and plug-and-play are the features that you feel at first glance, however pro user features will enable you to use kanban pull system in ways you didn't even wonder. And if a particular feature isn't available yet... try to ask for it at the managing team! Cons I never find major remarks about this software yet Review Source Response from KanbanBOX May 14, 2020 Thank you, Sergio, for the positive feedback. We always aim to operate as a partner, to build successful and long term relationships! PAF Pier Antonio F. KPO Furniture Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Kanbanbox in IdeaGroup" April 25, 2020 5.0 A problem in supply chain management in our market sector is the high seasonality of products: this is the reason why initially implemented traditional kanban didn’t work. It demanded an hard maintenance, a stock increasing instead of decreasing, and stock out was a problem. So we tested the electronic kanban with Kanbanbox combined with a weekly maintenance based on past (historical consumption) and future data (order backlog): in this way we reached a “pull” management of materials with the control of seasonality. This result was also presented and exported in all Ideagroup’s companies: now we are able to manage 2700 items and 8000 kanban in 4 hours a week (with a staff saving of 5 days a month). Passing from a material management with MRP to electronic kanban, we have reached a 50% stock reduction, an improving in consumption and suppliers data analysis (it’s easy to integrate Kanbanbox with a software of Business Intelligence), a decreasing of stock out, an increasing of suppliers reliability: Kanban system needs punctuality (the buffer stock is sized with a fixed delivery time) and this promote a partnership between the two parts. Pros The product is very easy to use, it’s not a problem to integrate the software with the ERP. Kanbanbox is a very specific solution for electronic kanban system but it has a high flexibility to implement it in all production processes. Recently Kanbanbox has presented an extension to integrate all the supply chain (to manage not only kanban items but also “closed orders” created with an ERP). Cons The “maintenance kanban” function could be improved (in our company we use an external platform to combine Kanbanbox and ERP data). Review Source Response from KanbanBOX May 12, 2020 Thank you for your feedback Pier. New functionalities on the Kanban maintenance will be available during 2020. The most relevant will be the implementation of suggestions in case of seasonal trends, and the reliability assessment of the maintenance suggestions! EPS Enrico Paolo S. Plant Director Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Irreplaceable tool" April 22, 2020 5.0 Switching, where possible, from MRP to visual management. Full control of stock, rotation increase, sqeueezing of the cahin between the plant and the supplier. It is a continuous way to check the status of art of the parts you're waiting for and, in the meantime, the supplier also can observe the plant behaviors and prepare to adjust his plans. Pros Quick to be implemented, both for the Plant and for Suppliers. User friendly interface, it is a tool for evverybody, from logistics directors to direct workers Suppliers accepted to use it just for its simplicity. Immediate barcodes printing which could be read by every smartphone Cons A little bit complicated to manage the differences among the relationships to be correctly created: planner, supplier, partner... Reason for choosing KanbanBOX The proposal from the softaware hous wsa, while quite expensive, also to much tied to the ERP without saying that was not remotely reachable Review Source Response from KanbanBOX May 12, 2020 Thank you, Enrico, your suggestion is appreciated: during the implementation at your facility, only pdf guides were available. Now there is a completely new knowledge center with on-line hypertextual guides and video-guides, specifically developed to ease the training for news users. A You-Tube channel is in development! Paolo P. Purchasing Manager Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use and very functional" March 27, 2020 5.0 Starded with Supply Chain we are involving 2-3 Supplier per months. We have also starded to manage the internal Kanban for logistic material Handling. Next Step: start with Customer involving for providing them a new kind of service. Pros Very easy to use and fast to set up (it doesn't require long time for involving the Supply Chain). It could be used also with out any integration with the Oparating System (even if of course it's been suggested) Cons Some function advanced (as per example Multiprocess KanBan) are quite difficult to set up (of course also for our "young" experience") Review Source Response from KanbanBOX May 14, 2020 Paolo, thank you for the feedback! Yes, surely some features are quite complex to activate, but just because they have to manage complex systems, that require the right standardization and setup to work properly. Please remember that our customer service is always available to help you to support the implementation of KanbanBOX and to define the best practices that fit your needs.

Lean and Digitalizazion Project Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Less stock and more intergration in the supply chain" March 27, 2020 5.0 Kanbanbox facilitates the exchange of information in the supply chain. We involved a lot of suppliers in this project and they really appreciate the results: less calls, less e-mails, same view of the stock situation (also updated in every moment).We reduced the stock by the 35%. Pros Kanbanbox is an easy-to-use software and it needs few days to start using it. All users in our company are enthusiastic. They have all the necessary information on their smartphone. Is really easy to use also in the production. Cons I think that it could be good to insert all the features in the web application also on the app. In this moment there are a lot of features on the app, but some are missing. Review Source Response from KanbanBOX May 12, 2020 Thank you, Antonella! We are continuously enriching the APP with new functionality, to make the App as much similar as possible to the web version. Stay tuned and don't forget to regularly update it! Elena S. Database and Application Manager International Trade and Development Used the software for: 2+ years ### "KanbanBox is excellent" April 16, 2020 5.0 My experience is very positive because KanbanBox is a simple and complete application. Also the kanbanBox Team is dynamic, always available, organized and more important is really qualified. They are not only software engineers but they are qualified consultant on kanban method, on supply chain and on solutions to optmize the business processes. Pros KanbanBox is easily integrated with other softwares because it uses API system and WEBHOOK system. We have integrated it in a simple way with WMS, Database, ERP and MES. KanbanBox is intuitive and easy to use for colleagues, and it is quick to learn how to use it. KanbanBox has reports that allow monitoring of warehouse level by item and optimization of dimension and number of kanban. Cons I haven't find any problems or difficults. Review Source SC Senia C. Impiegata logistica Machinery Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Gestione del kanban elettronico semplice e intuitiva" June 14, 2022 5.0 Pros Software intuitivo e user-friendly, assistenza veloce e efficace Cons Ogni tanto ha problemi nella chiusura dei documenti ma il problema viene risolto abbastanza celermente. Review Source MB Max B. Policy Deployment Project Coordinator Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "KanbanBOX Fanatic!" May 6, 2026 5.0 Overall KanbanBOX is an excellent bridge into the future of supply chain management that brought immediate results to our company. After replacing our old kanban card system with KanbanBOX we saw a company wide reduction of onhand inventory by more than 20%! As the designated KanbanBOX SME for the company and facilitator of training I take immense pride in knowing this impact from this software has saved us so much time and energy in inventory management. Pros I have been using KanbanBOX since my company first implemented it back in 2023 and I have to say I am blown away by the efficiency it offers! The software is lean oriented with a focus on supply chain and does an excellent job at tracking down that pesky age old question of average daily usage through a concept called CMax. Any mid-size or larger company can easily see cost improvements within a year of diligent implementation. At our company with tens of thousands of SKUs we fully implemented the software over the course of roughly one year thanks to the simple user interface on both the app and website. And to top it all off, even though KanbanBOX is based in Italy they were always more than happy to hop on the phone with us in the US and discuss our questions/comments/concerns. Cons The only con I can mention is the language barrier. While training folks on the software I often ran into issues that delayed early adoption due to the wording of specific portions of either the KanbanBOX provided powerpoint slides or sometimes in the software itself. That being said this was more prevalent years ago than it is today and did not prevent the adoption of the software by the company. Review Source Response from KanbanBOX May 11, 2026 Thank you so much, Max B.! Your words make all our work worthwhile, and thank you for your constructive feedback on areas for improvement: we’ll definitely work on them. Andrea D. Process and Production manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ottimo Kanban elettronico " July 30, 2025 5.0 Molto soddisfatto, KanbanBOX è un sistema pratico per controllare le scorte e le FIFO, lo usiamo moltissimo per gestire i semilavorati interni, ma la facilità di utilizzo ci aiuta anche con alcuni fornitori esterni. Pros La formazione iniziale è stata ben strutturata, lo abbiamo implementato in pochi giorni, la creazione di nuovi legami e la manutenzione degli esistenti è davvero facile e veloce grazie ai suggerimenti degli algoritmi. Gli operatori lo usano senza alcun problema. Cons Finora nulla da ridire, non abbiamo riscontrato malfunzionamenti. Per sfruttarlo al meglio va integrarlo con l'ERP. Review Source GC Giorgio C. Capo reparto montaggio Industrial Automation Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Sistemate sta roba" May 7, 2026 2.0 Ormai sono 3 anni che ci lavoriamo, a parte poter scansionar ei codici con l'app, il resto del programma è terrificante, poco intuitivo, chi ci gestisce ci fa vedere delle funzioni che per noi sarebbero utili poi noi non le abbiamo. Se dichiaro un kanban "VUOTO" in italiano significa che è vuoto che non no ho più, invece no. Pros la possibilità di scansionare i codici a barre. il riassortimento teoricamente automatico e pianificabile, Cons Il gestionale è poso intuitivo non viene fatta formazione la ricerca è disastrosa non c'è modo di lavoraci in modo sensato Review Source LA Lauren A. Supply Chain Leadership Development Associate Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Supply Chain Leadership Development Associate" May 7, 2026 5.0 The KanbanBOX team has been very responsive with continuous development of new features to make the system more applicable for different situations. Pros KanbanBOX automates the many planning and scheduling functions, allowing planners time to spend on analytics and strategic improvements. Cons There are some portions where automation is not possible at this time, so it does add steps for certain functions to keep KanbanBOX mirroring MRP. However, these extra steps are worth it for the other improvements KanbanBOX provides. Review Source AM Andrea M. Direttore di produzione Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Un'implementazione molto utile" May 29, 2025 5.0 Da quando lo usiamo, la collaborazione tra cliente e fornitore è decisamente migliorata; i dati sono più chiari e soprattutto disponibili per tutti Pros Dà la possibilità di vedere in tempo reale le disponibilità di magazzino dei clienti e di conseguenza reintegrare le le giacenze per tempo Cons Essendo abbastanza "personalizzabile" il suo corretto utilizzo dipende molto da chi viene impostato; vale sempre la regola, persone giuste al posto giusto Review Source MM Marco M. Logistic Manager Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "KanbanBOX - il mio kanban gestito al meglio" May 29, 2025 5.0 Spero di collaborare con KanbanBOX anche nella prossima azienda in cui andrò. Ci siamo trovati bene e merita il successo che ha. Pros programma smart, molto utile e di facile comprensione. utilizzabile in più device come pc, smartphone, etc. Cons il costo per la consulenza è parecchio elevato. tuttavia capisco che il core business sia proprio quello.

Tutti sono allineati: con un click e in modo molto immediato offre la possibilità di gestire i cartellini e lo scambio di info tra cliente e fornitore Pros Facilità d'uso, immediatezza molto intuitivo senza inutili fronzoli. L'implementazione è molto veloce e permette di lavorare da subito Cons Migliorerei la reportistica lato fornitore così da avere più info legate alle statistiche dei vari cartellini Review Source JB Jacopo B. Managing Director Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Da early user a promoter: il miglior tool di e-kanban sul mercato." May 30, 2025 5.0 Sono stato un early user di KanbanBOX, appena si è presentato al mercato. Nel corso della carriera l'ho implementato e sponsorizzato l'implementazione in tre diverse aziende, sempre con successo. Il vantaggio maggiore è rendere completamente trasparente la situazione del magazzino ed estremamente facile la sua gestione, contribuendo a distribuire le responsabilità attraverso l'organizzazione. Pros La facilità d'uso e la curva di apprendimento praticamente verticale per un utente alla prima esperienza. Permette di rendere trasparente la gestione dello stock, con informazioni aggiornate in tempo reale. Cons Nel tempo sono state aggiunte svariate funzionalità e non è sempre facile riconoscerle ed interpretarle correttamente. Review Source AP Andrea P. responsabile produzione Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ottimo applicativo" May 29, 2025 5.0 tutto quello che dovrebbe fare lo fa in maniera eccellente. il personale è molto competente e disponibile. Pros trovo il sistema dotato di massima duttilità e flessibilità, lo trovo molto intuitivo nella realizzazione di ogni azione. Cons non ci sono sostanziali aspetti negativi tali da recensirli. l'help risponde sempre in maniera esaustiva e veloce Review Source FT Francesco T. Process Engineer Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ottimo prodotto" September 4, 2024 5.0 Software con molte potenzialità. Ad oggi abbiamo sperimentato l'utilizzo per la movimentazione interna di componenti: ne risulta un processo più semplice, ordinato e standardizzato, che permette un certo saving economico. L'interfaccia software è user-friendly e molto intuitiva. I tempi di implementazione sono ridotti, da sottolineare anche la rapidità del servizio di assistenza e i tempi di risposta del team di sviluppo per eventuali integrazioni Pros Semplicità di utilizzo, sia in configurazione software sia in utilizzo pratico in ambiente di lavoro. Cons Al momento non riscontriamo problemi degni di nota. Review Source Response from KanbanBOX September 5, 2024 Thank you Francesco! FS Federico S. Inbound and Intralogistic Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "KanbanBOX, una svolta dalle grandi potenzialità" June 3, 2024 5.0 Siamo un'azienda dove la gestione a kanban è utilizzata da molto tempo, sia per la produzione, che per la movimentazione e per l'acquisto. Ci trovavamo in difficoltà su alcuni punti: - lavagne fisiche non viste dagli owner del processo - cartellini persi - informazioni lente legate allo spostamento fisico del cartellino - difficoltà sul ridimensionamento Punti che ci hanno avvicinato al kanban elettronico e a kanbanBOX. Pros \- la possibilità di vedere la lavagna kanban da ogni postazione - la semplicità di utilizzo, dove sia l'amministratore che l'operatore hanno attività standardizzate da fare - la velocità e facilità sul ridimensionamento dei legami kanban - le funzionalità esistenti che permettono di utilizzare la logica kanban anche dove il kanban classico non sarebbe ottimale - sicuramente l'integrazione col gestionale sarà un upgrade fondamentale che aumenterà il giudizio positivo - ottimi report sia di analisi che di controllo Cons I contro sono pochi, e comunque essendo in continuo aggiornamento molto spesso vengono risolti o migliorati. L'unico che mi sento di segnalare è la difficoltà nel discriminare il tipo di legame (produzione, movimentazione,..) in lavagna. Il contro principale, non di kanbanBOX in se ma del kanban elettronico in generale, è legato alle difficoltà oggettive sul far digerire il suo utilizzo agli operatori. Basta un errore per poter potenzialmente creare potenziali rotture di stock. Reason for choosing KanbanBOX Ottimo prodotto, con ottime referenze e soprattutto del nostro territorio. Review Source AB Alessio B. Production Engineer Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Lean software for lean production management" May 8, 2020 5.0 KanbanBox is essential when implementing a pull/kanban system in a production system where hundreds or thousands of different components are handled every day. Pros Apart from the management of a pull/Kanban system which is done greatly, the feature that I appreciate the most is the easy extraction of "ready-to-use" data related to production and consumption of WIP goods. This allows the management to quickly have a detailed view over the entire production process without spending too much time on processing raw data. The software is also build with a Lean view in mind, therefore many features are straightforward and essential, and require a minimum amount of time and operation to generate their value. Cons There is no big missing feature that hinder the potentiality of the software. Related to the previous "pros", I hope that in future even more data/information-related features will be added. One feature that I would also like to see implemented is the possibility to create a customized digital Kanban Board, for production scheduling. Review Source Response from KanbanBOX June 12, 2020 Thank you so much Alessio for your feedback! In relation to your expectations, I confirm that we are working on a sequencing tool. This new feature will allow you to visualize kanban cards for each work center in a queue, eventually sequenced respecting the Pull parameters. The expected release date is October 2020. AZ Annalisa Z. Purchase department Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy but complete software" April 2, 2020 4.0 Pros Kanbanbox is a very helpful tool to manage the warehouse supply (external or internal suppliers/customers). It is simple to use and to understand also by the warehouse workers. This software helps to save time and money in the daily activities. With the App for Android and iOS it is also easily usable from the Warehouse. Imports and exports by Excel are useful to update data regularly and to elaborate them. This tool can be integrated with the own ERP, so operations don't have to be done twice. Behind Kanbanbox there are competent people who give support and who upgrade constantly the software in order to improve it. I tried another electronic board but Kanbanbox remain the best choice. Cons I don't have observations that has to be highlighted. Review Source Response from KanbanBOX May 14, 2020 Annalisa, thank you for your feedback! Our mobile APP is developed internally: new features are added every month, to ease the usage of the tool also by warehouse operators, as you mentioned. TA Thomas A. CEO Industrial Automation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Game Chenger Software" March 29, 2020 5.0 We applied KanbanBOX to 95% of the purchases. Connecting all suppliers and operations now we have under control anything in our production and purchasing process. Pros It’s was easy to implement it in our production processes and the user friendly approach was the way to deploy it widely in the whole organization. It was also easy to connect it to other software running in the company. Cons Thanks to the API of KanbanBOX we’ve been able to easily develop new interactions between operators and our internally developed MES software and automation in intralogistics. There’s also the possibility to link drownings and file directly to codes. So operators have the possibility to find quick informations regarding the goods. Review Source Response from KanbanBOX May 14, 2020 Thank you, Thomas! Your company is a virtuous example of deep integration between the electronic kanban system and the production and supply chain company processes, including the internal MES. Good job, we are really proud of that!
