One CRM platform for sales, service and marketing

Lumo is fourteen modules running on the same database. A person, an organization and a deal exist once, and everything your team does with that customer hangs off them. Switch on what you need per workspace.

The problem sits between the tools, not in them

Ask a B2B team how many systems they use to work with customers and the answer is rarely one. There is a CRM for the reps. There is a helpdesk that support once picked themselves. Marketing has an email tool with its own list. Quotes are written in Word and mailed as a PDF. And on Friday someone builds the numbers for the weekly meeting in a spreadsheet.

Each of those tools does its own job well. The problem is in between. A customer who unsubscribes from the newsletter still shows as opted in on the CRM. A rep who pitches an upsell does not know two complaints are open. A sales manager who wants to know how many quotes were signed this month asks three people and gets three numbers. So time goes into building integrations, syncing lists and retyping data.

We see it in almost every project. Sales Surge has done more than 150 CRM implementations, and much of the work was always the glue between systems. Integrations that break when a field is renamed. Lists that are almost the same. Nobody sure which tool holds the truth.

Lumo removes that glue by putting everything on one database. There is one person record. Attached to it are the mail from Gmail, the activities from the calendar, the lead from the form, the deal with its products, the quote with its signature, the ticket from the portal and the campaign they received. An unsubscribe applies everywhere at once. A report counts what is really there. That is the whole idea of the platform, and the rest of this page shows how the modules connect.

How it works: a customer's path through Lumo

Every step uses the record from the step before. Nothing is copied between systems.

  1. Come in

    A form, a chat or a Facebook lead ad creates a person and a lead in the Inbox, with status New and a source. You can also create a lead yourself. Forms

  2. Qualify

    The lead moves to Working, Nurturing or Qualified, or you choose Disqualify with a reason. Gmail mail and activities already land on the lead and the person. Lead management

  3. Sell

    Convert to deal puts the lead in a pipeline as a deal. You add products, plan the next step and move the deal through the stages on the board. Pipeline management

  4. Sign

    The quote comes from the product lines, goes to the customer through your Gmail and is signed with an email code. A note lands on the deal. Quotes

  5. Serve

    After Won, the customer continues in the helpdesk, the customer portal and customer success projects. Tickets and health show on the organization. Helpdesk

  6. Measure

    Reports and dashboards count across deals, leads, activities and contacts, with drill-down to the records behind them. Reports

The heart of the platform is the record of a person or organization. At the top are the details: name, domain, owner, labels, lifecycle stage and your custom fields. Below are tabs for Overview, Activities, Notes, Email, Deals, Tickets, Conversations, Forms, Campaigns, Files and History. Pin an important note to the top of the timeline.

A person can belong to several organizations, with one marked primary. An organization can have a parent, so you record a group with its subsidiaries as it really is. The organization also carries a customer health score from 0 to 100, based on the tickets of the last 90 days.

Because every module writes to this record, you do not have to search. Last week's chat, the form someone signed up with, the campaign they opened and the quote they signed sit in the same place. More on contact management.

  • People in several organizations, with one primary
  • Parent organizations for groups and branches
  • Pinned notes at the top of the timeline

Open a deal and you see the progress through the stages and the next step at the top. If there is no next step, you see that too, and that is usually the moment to plan one with Plan an activity. On the left are the details: value, currency, owner, contact person, organization and expected close date. Add participants when more people at the customer have a say.

The tabs on the deal show products, timeline, email, quotes and stage history. On the right is a card with the customer's tickets. So before you call, you know whether something is open with support. The deal value comes from the product lines as soon as you add them, each with its own discount and billing period.

When the deal is won or lost, click Won or Lost. Lost asks for a reason. You can always reopen. More on pipeline management.

You build a campaign in a four-step wizard: name and sender, recipients, template and timing. Recipients are a segment of your own contacts, made with the same filters as your lists. You see live who is excluded and why, for example because they have no consent or have unsubscribed.

Consent sits on the person. "Require explicit consent" is on by default, and Lumo checks it again at the moment of sending. Every template has a mandatory unsubscribe link, and an unsubscribe applies to the whole workspace. Bounces and complaints are suppressed for good.

After sending you see sent, delivered, opened, clicked, bounced, complaints and unsubscribes. A follow-up campaign to people who did not open or click after a number of days is a single rule. Delivery runs through onze verzendservice. More on email campaigns.

Campaign overview in Lumo with statistics per campaign

The Success overview shows what needs attention: customers going live soon, customer health, projects per phase and open blockers. A delivery project has a phase, progress, a go-live date, milestones, a next step, internal notes, files, blockers and tickets.

The helpdesk works with tickets from a mailbox, the customer portal or a chat. Per priority you set a first-response and a resolution target, with business hours and holidays, and at 75 percent you get a warning. The customer portal uses a passwordless magic link, and the knowledge base runs in Dutch and English.

What you should know: you do not create delivery projects in the app yourself today. They come from an import. Read more on customer success and helpdesk and ticketing.

  • Customer health from 0 to 100 per organization
  • SLA per priority, macros and a satisfaction survey

The AI assistant answers questions about your own data and carries out tasks. It has 52 tools: 21 to read, 23 to draft and 8 to commit. Ask it which deals stalled this week, have it build a segment or plan an activity, or ask for a report in one sentence.

It works with your role and permissions. A viewer cannot change anything through the assistant either. Anything irreversible or outward-facing, such as sending a campaign, waits until you click approve. There is a limit of 40 messages per 10 minutes per user, and every tool call is logged.

The assistant is off per workspace until an owner or admin switches it on. By default it runs on Google Gemini Flash, and you can switch to Groq, OpenRouter or Mistral. More on the AI assistant.

What the whole platform shares

These apply to every module, so you set them up once.

Fourteen modules

Switch each module on or off per workspace. What is off disappears from the menu and from the Today screen.

Custom fields

On contacts, organizations, deals, leads, tickets and activities. Twelve types, from text and monetary to multiselect and user, and any field can be required.

Roles

Owner, admin, member and viewer. A viewer can read but not change anything. 2FA can be made mandatory for admins.

Workspace isolation

Every table with customer data carries a workspace and row-level security, so workspaces never see each other's data.

Audit log

An append-only log with filters and CSV export under Privacy and log.

Two languages

The app is in Dutch and English, with a setting per user and per workspace.

Keyboard first

Cmd or Ctrl plus K opens the command palette. In lists you browse with j and k and complete with x.

API, webhooks and MCP

A REST API with 49 routes, signed outgoing webhooks and an MCP server with six tools. API

Example: how a software company builds up the platform

An example, not a customer story. Say a software company has six reps, four people in support and one marketer. Today they use Pipedrive, a separate helpdesk and an email tool, and they want one system.

Week 1. They start with sales. The import wizard brings over pipelines, contacts, deals with product lines, activities and notes from Pipedrive. They run a dry run first and check the result. Because the helpdesk has not moved yet, they choose pipedrive_mirror mode, so whoever still works in Pipedrive is not stuck. The reps connect Gmail and Google Calendar. Only the sales modules are switched on.

Week 2. The admin adds custom fields for licence type and contract date, and installs three default data quality rules for deals. A deal without a close date now gets a warning, a lost deal without a reason is refused. The duplicates queue shows 40 pairs. They go through them together, field by field.

Week 3. The helpdesk goes on. Support gets a mailbox that creates tickets, macros for standard answers and an SLA per priority. From now on, reps see the customer's open tickets on every deal. The knowledge base goes live with twenty articles in Dutch, and the English versions follow when someone has time to write them.

Week 4. Marketing switches on campaigns. The first segment is "customers whose licence ends in three months". Because the segment runs on the same fields as sales, it is right straight away. They move to native mode and cancel the separate tools.

Whether your team does this in four weeks depends on your data and your agreements. The point is the order: you do not have to do it all at once.

How to set up the platform

The order that causes the least friction in practice.

  • Decide which modules you need in the first month and switch the rest off.
  • Create your pipelines and stages, each with a win probability and a rotting period.
  • Add the custom fields you really use, and make required only what has to be.
  • Invite your team and give everyone the right role: owner, admin, member or viewer.
  • Make 2FA mandatory for admins.
  • Have everyone on Gmail connect their mailbox and calendar, and agree who uses the BCC address.
  • Import from Pipedrive with a dry run first, or have Sales Surge move the data.
  • Work through the duplicates queue before you send campaigns.
  • Switch on data quality rules and check the adoption score after two weeks.

What you should know about the platform

Lumo is a web app. There is no iOS or Android app, you work in the browser, on a phone as well. Mail and calendar sync with Gmail and Google Calendar today, and the Outlook and Microsoft 365 integration is on the roadmap. Outlook users log mail through the personal BCC address or by hand, and use every other module like everyone else. The data is hosted in London. Sign-in is email, password and 2FA, without SSO. CSV import is not in the product yet. We move that kind of data for you.

Frequently asked questions about the platform

Do I have to take every module?

No. You switch modules on or off per workspace. The price depends on the number of users and the modules you switch on. Pricing
