What Lean Transition Solutions does

Lean Transition Solutions Ltd (LTS) is a UK-based Smart Manufacturing software and consulting provider founded in 2009 and headquartered in Upton Snodsbury, Worcester. The company sells a hybrid "Lean Industry 4.0" methodology that combines lean manufacturing principles with digital technologies, addressing manufacturers seeking operational excellence across TPM, OEE, KPI management, and digital transformation. Its product portfolio spans four core systems — TITAN (CMMS), Data Point (Balanced Scorecard), Janus (shop-floor data capture), and T-Card (production planning) — alongside ten add-on modules covering ERP, QMS, health and safety, 5S audits, maintenance automation, learning management, and mentoring. The software suite integrates with ERP and MES platforms and connects to industrial hardware through a partnership with BrainBoxes for shop-floor data capture.

LTS serves enterprise customers across automotive, pharmaceutical, electronics, healthcare, manufacturing, and education verticals, with named reference clients including Pfizer, Hitachi, PCI Pharma, Dunlop, United Learning, TRP Sealing Systems, and Titan. The business operates on two revenue streams: subscription-based SaaS software delivered via browser and mobile apps, and professional services encompassing lean manufacturing consulting, ILM-accredited Green Belt and Black Belt training programs, and custom software development. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales with a consultative motion (Request a Demo, Start Free Trial CTAs), supplemented by participation in industry events such as Backing Britain Live and community engagement through the Made in Midlands network. The company holds BSI ISO 27001 certification and ILM training provider accreditation as intangible assets supporting enterprise procurement cycles.

The company is founder-led, with Brett Griffiths as Founder and Managing Director, Rajan Jerome as CEO, and Akhil Clement as CTO. In December 2025, LTS secured a £200,000 loan from the Midlands Engine Investment Fund II to embed AI into its existing product suite and accelerate global expansion, marking its first disclosed external funding event. The company employs between 51 and 100 staff and claims a global footprint across UK and international manufacturing sectors, though no revenue figures, customer counts, or geographic revenue splits are publicly disclosed.
