See to Solve

What See to Solve does

See to Solve is a privately held SaaS company that provides cloud-based software for visual process mapping and real-time operational alerting, primarily serving enterprise customers in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing. The company's two core products are Flow™, a collaborative visual process mapping tool that enables teams to map out who is responsible for what tasks and how tasks interdepend, and Alert™, a patent-protected real-time problem reporting system functioning as a portable Andon cord that allows frontline teams to escalate process issues via mobile and QR-code interfaces in under 15 seconds. The platform embeds proprietary methodology derived from founder Dr. Steven J. Spear's three decades of research on high-velocity organizations and the Toyota Production System, including a built-in scientific-method root cause analysis workflow. A related product, Gemba, provides an additional real-time alert capability for frontline teams.

The company distributes through direct enterprise field sales, with a 'Request A Demo' call-to-action on its website serving as the primary conversion mechanism. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated through sales conversations, reflecting a tiered subscription model offered as standalone cloud deployment or as an integrated enterprise solution. Named enterprise customers include Baptist Memorial Hospital-Memphis (a 704-bed tertiary care center with 3,000+ employees that reported a 346% increase in IT ticket reporting and 203% increase in Facilities ticket reporting during its pilot), GSK (a global pharmaceutical company with 90,000 employees that achieved 60% staff adoption in year one of deployment in its 'smart lab' environments), and Solidigm (a major semiconductor firm using Flow™ for remote-work process mapping). The company is founder-owned, operates as an LLC from Newton, Massachusetts, and has not disclosed external institutional funding.

Marketing is anchored in thought leadership content driven by Dr. Spear's academic reputation as an MIT Sloan senior lecturer and author of multiple books, including 'The High-Velocity Edge' and 'Wiring the Winning Organization' (co-authored with Gene Kim). Demand generation is supplemented by podcast appearances (People Solve Problems, Lean Blog Interviews, Chain of Learning, Idealcast), webinars, downloadable gated resources, MIT Executive Education courses ('Creating High Velocity Organizations' and 'Leading Organizations for High Velocity Performance'), and conference speaking engagements at events such as AME Milwaukee 2026, DevOps Enterprise Summit, and PlatformCON. The GTM motion is sales-led with a consultative, advisory orientation suited to large complex organizations pursuing operational excellence transformation, and the team is led by Dr. Spear as Founder alongside Maria Mentzer (ex-Intel, MIT Sloan) as CMO and VP Customer Development.
