All-in-one business operations

Run your entire business in one place.

The shift you ran this morning costs the fuel it burned. The purchase you approved becomes a bill. The task your team closed belongs to a business and a department, and shows up in that company’s numbers — not in a spreadsheet somebody reconciles at month end.

Everything your business runs on — connected.

Stop stitching together five tools and a pile of spreadsheets. Lean Hippo keeps your work, money, and people in one place, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Projects & work

Plan the work. Watch it get done.

Boards, timelines, and a shared calendar keep every project moving. Assign owners, set due dates, and see overdue and unassigned work before it becomes a problem. Everyone gets a personal “My Work” view of exactly what’s theirs.

  • Kanban boards & timelines
  • Due dates power overdue tracking
  • Per-person workloads

SOPs & how your business runs

Get the business out of your head.

Write standard operating procedures once — or let AI draft them from the role, department, and industry — then assign them to positions and track who has read and acknowledged each one. New hires learn the standard, not the shortcut.

  • AI-drafted SOPs per role & industry
  • Assign to departments and positions
  • Read & acknowledge tracking

✦ AI Operations Advisor

A COO-style read of your operations — every morning.

Your advisor reads the real numbers in your workspace — overdue work, bottlenecks, aging approvals — and tells you what to fix first. Every recommendation cites the exact figures it’s based on. It works only from your data, so it never makes things up.

  • Spots bottlenecks and at-risk work
  • Prioritises what needs you today
  • Cites the evidence behind every call
  • Weekly board briefing, delivered on the day you choose
  • Managers get their departments only — never your company P&L

Delivery is holding up — 6 tasks are overdue and two projects are waiting on a single blocked task. Clear that first.

Generated from your workspace · AI-assisted, evidence-cited

One platform, the right view for everyone.

Role-based access is built in. People see what they need to do their job — and nothing they shouldn’t. Your financials and management data stay private by default.

CEO / Owner

The whole business at a glance — money, projects, risk, and the AI advisor’s read on what needs attention.

Managers

Run day-to-day operations — assign work, approve spend, chair meetings. Their dashboard and weekly AI briefing cover their departments only, never your company financials.

Staff

A focused view of just their work and the projects they’re on. No noise, no access to what isn’t theirs.

Everything included. Nothing bolted on.

Every module works on the same data — one login, one source of truth. A shift’s fuel burn reaches the finance ledger; an approved purchase becomes a bill; a task carries the business and the team it belongs to.

Most tools charge you for every person you hire.

Project apps, chat and accounting are almost always priced per seat — so the bill grows every time you take someone on. Lean Hippo is one flat price for your whole workspace. Add the team; it doesn't change.

Your teamTypical stack of separate toolsLean HippoYou keep
5 people$185/mo$150/mo19%
10 people$320/mo$150/mo53%
25 people$710/mo$150/mo79%
50 people$1,370/mo$200/mo85%

Below about six people, per-seat tools work out cheaper — we'd rather tell you that than sell you the wrong thing. Past that, the gap widens with every hire.

And it's not four tools doing four jobs.

Each of those apps works well on its own. None of them talk to each other — which is why you still end up in a spreadsheet at month end.

Hiring doesn't cost you more

Per-seat pricing charges you again every time the team grows. One flat price covers your whole workspace — put everyone on it, including the people who'd only log in occasionally.

Your numbers actually connect

A project's costs sit against its revenue automatically. No exporting to a spreadsheet at month end to work out whether a job made money.

Running the same week, not next quarter

Sign up, add your team, start working. No implementation project, no consultant, no data migration before you see value.

Stack costs are illustrative, based on published annual-billing list prices for a mainstream per-seat project tool, per-seat team chat, and flat-rate small-business accounting — and exclude inventory and procurement tooling. Comparison is by category of software, not any specific product; pricing and capabilities vary between vendors and change over time.

Simple pricing that grows with you.
