What exactly is Qards?

Qards is Digital Kamishibai — the operational-discipline layer that keeps a Lean rollout alive after the consultants leave. We replace the physical board and the manual cards with a system that not only ensures tasks are performed on time, but also draws conclusions from data — generates reports, detects patterns, and suggests improvements.

How does the 90-day Standard Trial work?

You sign up without a credit card and get full access to the Standard plan (€59/mo) for 90 days, including intelligent reports and Lean suggestions. After the trial, you choose the plan that suits you.

What happens after the trial ends?

If you don't activate a subscription, you'll lose access to intelligent reports and suggestions. Your data remains safe, and you can choose the Standard or Business plan at any time.

What if I have 10 employees, but only 2 do audits?

Operators who perform tasks are always free - whether you have 5 or 500. You only pay for boards and analytical features.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes. Qards is a flexible monthly subscription. You can cancel or change your plan at any time with one click. No long-term contracts or penalties.

Yes. We treat your data as a trade secret. We use bank-level encryption, and servers are located in the European Union, guaranteeing full GDPR compliance.

From the Kamishibai Board to Measurable Results

Most operations teams already know what good looks like. Qards makes sure it actually happens — and proves it with data.

01

Standardize What Good Looks Like

Set up a digital board for any recurring routine — Kamishibai checks, layered process audits (LPA), leader standard work, 5S rounds. Operators log each task in under 10 seconds, at the workstation, on any device. No paperwork. No login friction. No training required.

02

See Exactly Where Discipline Breaks Down

Follow live execution data, comparing plan against actual — by team, board, and day. Detected issues are automatically routed to the responsible person, giving you full control without needing to be on the floor.

03

Know If Your Routines Actually Drive Results

Qards correlates execution discipline with the KPI metrics you already track — output, OEE, defect rate, downtime. Your operational data finally answers the question most managers have never been able to answer: are these tasks actually driving our results? Generate PDF reports with AI insights — ready to present to your team.

Within 30 days, you'll know which routines are driving results and which are wasted effort — with a report that proves it.
