DO.Impact Core vs StrategyBlocks

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.

StrategyBlocks is a web-based SaaS platform for strategic planning, management, mapping, and execution. It breaks high-level objectives into tactics and links strategy elements to metrics, connecting strategic vision with work across departments and business units through cascading visual blocks. Strategic Health combines measures such as progress and KPIs to represent a block's current state. The platform also includes strategic risk management for structured and subjective execution data.

Users can create and bookmark dashboard views refreshed through company-wide contributions. Calendar Integration provides event links for key due dates on blocks assigned to a user. Metric actuals and targets can be uploaded from another source, including Google Docs Spreadsheets. Security groups restrict access to blocks, metrics, and risks in a strategic plan. The maker identifies StrategyBlocks as ISO/IEC 27001 certified and describes it as an enterprise strategic management platform, including for CEOs and other executives. A subscription allows one person to access the product, so additional people require additional subscriptions. Pricing includes a 30-day trial and Premium 1 - 50 Staff at $750 a year.
