What LumApps does

LumApps, originally founded in France in 2012 and now operating with dual headquarters in Paris and Austin, Texas, sells an enterprise AI-powered employee hub platform that unifies internal communications, content publishing, knowledge retrieval, HR lifecycle workflows, micro-learning, and frontline workforce operations under a single governed interface. The core platform integrates natively with both Microsoft 365 (SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, Outlook, Microsoft 365 Copilot) and Google Workspace (Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Chat, Gemini), and connects to Workday, ServiceNow, Slack, and more than 50 additional enterprise systems through no-code connectors and an open SDK. Following the 2025 merger with Beekeeper (mobile-first frontline platform) and the pending Comeen acquisition (workplace experience / space management), the portfolio has been extended with LumApps Journeys (HR automation via HeyAxel), Vizir (conversational AI), Novastream (video), and the Agent Hub / AI Employee Hub launched in late 2025 and mid-2026 to position LumApps as a governance layer for enterprise AI agents and workflows.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise-led: direct field sales anchored on a "Request a Demo" motion, supplemented by co-sell through its Microsoft Gold Partner and Google Premier Build Partner relationships, a Google Cloud Marketplace listing that enables cloud-billed procurement, and a published partner network of implementation/consulting SIs (notably Mercer Belong). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with annual billing on subscription SaaS contracts and additional professional services revenue from partner-led deployments. LumApps is privately held by Bridgepoint and serves more than 7 million users across 2,000+ enterprise clients spanning manufacturing, retail, healthcare, airlines, financial services, energy, technology, transportation, and public sector, with recurring recognition as a Leader in the Forrester Wave for Intranet Platforms (Q2 2026) and the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Intranet Packaged Solutions (2023, 2024, 2025).
