First of all, impactlean is the only software program that automatically draws value stream maps for all types of complex situations, which is different from the drag and drop methods of other programs process mapping.

However, the key difference of impactlean lies in the fact that it is a
data-driven solution rather than a graphical solution. This enables for an unprecedented amount of process analysis, charting, and cost-modeling to be conducted for each map instance. In addition, impactlean projects the bottom-line impact of implementing lean improvements for project justification purposes. All of these things combined place impactlean in a class of its own.
