Root Cause Analysis Software - Causelink®

Sologic®'s proprietary Causelink® software is your partner for strategic root cause analyses and investigations. Included with Sologic Facilitator training, Causelink is intuitive, user-friendly and a powerful ally to help your team more effectively apply the Sologic method to real-world problems. The RCA reports that the Causelink standalone version generates can be synchronized with a centralized database through our Causelink Enterprise version, which offers robust dashboards and reports that enable users to mine, monitor and report on the data.

Causelink® was built based on extensive client feedback and research, incorporating features clients asked for -- features that increase their problem-solving capabilities and results.  For instance, Causelink is built with a state-of-the-art platform and interface that’s designed to be compatible with current and future IT architectures. It also is the only RCA software on the market that clearly displays 50-plus causes in an 8.5x11” active workspace, PDF and printout (including to a plotter).

Sologic Causelink takes the user through a logical process – from initial data gathering through to final reports and resolution plans.
