DO.Impact Core vs Poka

DO.Impact Core is a self-hosted, single-user web app for small manufacturers that covers strategy, commercial work, operations, people, and execution. Its operations module includes daily management, shop-floor workflows, scheduling over 0–12 weeks, supply chain, SIOP, NPI, quality, and risk, alongside a library of more than 250 industrial KPIs. Execution includes A3, 8D, 5 Whys, fishbone, and DMAIC problem-solving methods, plus a Gantt actions timeline. Operators can use a touch-friendly /floor mode, and the TitanScale Template company is pre-loaded to populate modules at first launch. Core is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 and stores data in the user's own database, machine, or private network, with no accounts, subscriptions, or tracking. Self-hosting requires Bun or Node.js 20+, the Supabase CLI with Docker, and a local or hosted Supabase project. Local single-user mode disables row-level security; the maker says not to expose it publicly without an authentication proxy.
