Why does Lucrii exist?
We wanted to make running a business in the digital world simpler
and he is as unique as he is useful (which we think is a lot).
From what we could see, it seems every other ERP/CRM/Business management suite/ai-powered extravaganza were all a let down, for one reason or another…
It seems most of our friends in the market did one and only one (or maybe two) of these really well, when in reality we want all of these for our business tools:
- Fast
- Secure
- Easy to use
- Feature rich
- Has some of the latest shiny things *cough* AI *cough*
- Doesn’t cost an absolute $$$
Lucrii is a single platform that does all of these well. At least we certainly think so!
Go explore Lucrii →So what’s the story?
Anthony (AJ) was a general manager at a SMB Brisbane-based ecommerce business. While I (Braiden) had previously worked at a startup developing quoting and estimating software for builders and trades. I had moved on from that gig and was working as an Enterprise Service Management consultant.
AJ had been lamenting to me about how difficult it was to find a good ERP for the business he was at, that fit the criteria above. He kept asking me about how good it would be to make a tool to fit this gap. Sceptical as I was… it took a whole year of convincing… but sure enough on the eve of 2024, Anthony and I on a car-ride home from his work, had a brain wave…And…
Named after the Dei Lucrii ...was born. By end of Janurary, 2025, we had our first mockups ready and we were ready to hit the ground running. We’ve come along way since those early days and we are so happy to share what we have created with the world!
Why we are different
TLDR; We are just trying to build the company we have always dreamed about working at.
For us this means:
- A goooood product at it’s core, exemplified by what we expect in the modern world - simplicity and speed.
- Transparent, by default. You can see our company handbook, our processes, how much we pay and how we operate, etc - all here and freely available!
- No SaaS company BS. That means: straightforward and open pricing, no annoying sales people, no boring marketing and sales emails and if you want to just signup and use the product without talking to anyone, you can do that too.
- Local support by people that care - we are here to help, and we love hearing about all the fun and exciting work businesses out in the world are doing.
- Honest and adult communication in everything we do and all the content we make. We aim for less ‘marketing-speak’ and more honest content. This helps you build trust in us, which ultimately allows us to achieve our mission - enabling you to spend more time doing what you like in your business rather than boring admin work.
- We mostly write everything open source go check out our repos here here.
One platform, not 50 apps bundled up
For reasons unknown to us - our competitors in this industry love having a full business suite, but spread across 50 different, disparate apps. Lucrii is just a single platform - ordering, inventory management, CRM, tasks, projects, all in one place with one consistent user experience. We will keep building this way forever, we just think its the right thing for us and for our users and we are geared to continue to roll out new products that will make running your business easier. We are seriously passionate about this stuff!
We are going to build every product we possibly can to help you run your business, yep thats right, every single one. Our mission really is to enable you to spend more time doing what you like in your business rather than boring admin work.
Generous free tiers, no trial periods and pricing that makes sense
The only thing worse than a 14 days trial period for a big software is a ‘Contact Us Now’ button in order to see what the product actually does. We are not doing any of that.
Sign up, have a play for as long as you like and when you are ready to scale we will be there to help.
All our products contain a free-tier so from day one you can go in and start playing around with anything from inventory management to purchasing to quoting to projects! It’s all there for you to use.
So, in a nutshell…
Whether you’re looking to bring Lucrii into your business – or you’re curious about what we’re building – we hope you leave with the understanding that we’re here to do something different. We’re building the company we’ve always wanted to work for – and the kind of software we’ve always wished existed in an industry desperately needing some fresh perspectives.
