DO.Impact Core vs Spider Impact

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.

Spider Impact brings organizational performance information together to help track progress against strategic goals and inform decisions. It supports KPIs, balanced scorecards, earned value management, reports, alerts, dashboards, strategy maps, and initiative tracking. Impact Assistant takes questions in plain language and responds with answers and charts. Data can be imported from spreadsheets, SQL databases, and modern web APIs; online forms support manual entry. Spider Impact says it connects to over 5,000 web applications through web service connections, native integrations, or Zapier. Organizations can use Spider’s hosted cloud service or run the software on premises in their own data centers. The company says the product serves businesses across industries, governments, and nonprofits, and provides support, training, webinars, and educational videos. Its 30-day trial includes an introductory demo, login credentials after the demo, and ongoing guidance. There is no free plan, and pricing is on request. Screen exports require 10 or more user licenses, while sharing dashboards, strategy maps, and forms with non-users requires 25 or more users.
