Built for Firms Whose Product is People
The AI-first operating system for IT consulting firms
Most consulting firms run their business across eight systems and a stack of spreadsheets. HRIS, CRM, ERP, payroll, project management, ATS, your PSA, and the bench list someone's keeping in Excel. Lumiere brings every consultant, rate, requirement, and bench day into one live picture of your firm. The result: you run a more efficient and profitable consultancy.

Five things every consulting firm wrestles with:
They come with the operating model. Lumiere is how we solve them together.
01: Finding the right five consultants for a project
Skills, availability, and rates live in different systems. Even strong firms rely on email threads to bring them together. AI Matching scores every consultant in the firm against the requirement in seconds, surfacing names the email thread misses.
02: Getting a credible team in front of the client first
Speed matters as much as fit. The firm that responds quickly with a coherent team is usually the one that wins. Team Builder turns a requirement into a ranked, fully staffed team — from a single role to a 30+ role program.
03: Keeping the bench picture current
Roll-offs, idle days, and rate changes move faster than spreadsheets and weekly reports can keep up with. Live bench and resource management. Rolloff at 30, 60, 90 days. Daily idle cost by consultant. Synced from your HRIS in real time.
04: Seeing margin movement in time to act on it.
Engagement-level margin tends to show up at month-end, after the points are already lost. Daily margin by client, BU, and engagement. Low-margin flags before the SOW closes, not after.
05: Giving every team the same picture of the firm
Sales, delivery, and finance often work from different reports. Arriving at single answer is harder than it should be. Lumiere Live, a question asked in plain English by any team - names, numbers, sources cited every time.
What's underneath
One live record of every consultant, requirement, rate, and bench day — synced from your HRIS, ATS, finance, and PM systems. A full ATS sits on top, drafting JDs and scoring incoming CVs against the same model the rest of the platform uses.
Frequently asked questions
General questions
Q: What is Lumiere?
A: The operating system for IT consulting firms. One live record of your consultants, rates, bench, and requirements — synced from the systems you already run — plus ATS, AI matching, team builder, and live reporting on top, allowing you to build proposed teams, draft client-ready proposals and reports, and write job descriptions.
Q: Who is Lumiere for?
A: Any firms whose product is people. For example, IT consulting firms, MSPs and Systems integrators running multi-year transformations, anywhere from 50 to 50,000+ consultants. We focus on them because thats where we came from and saw the most friction. Three shapes of firm, one operating system.
Q: How is Lumiere different from Kantata, Certinia, or other PSA platforms?
A: Traditional PSAs capture timesheets, status, and invoicing, being systems of record you spend time analyzing. Lumiere is the system of answers: a live data layer paired with AI to staff, hire and report. Most customers retire their PSA within a quarter.
Q: Kantata now calls itself vertical AI for professional services. How is that different from Lumiere?
A: Kantata's "vertical" means professional services broadly, agencies, engineering firms, software shops, consultancies. Lumiere's vertical is IT consulting specifically: the schema, the matching model, the bench logic, and the report types are built around how IT consulting firms actually staff, price, and deliver.
Q: How is our data protected?
A: Your data, your model, your tenancy. Bring your own LLM (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or a private endpoint) inside your own cloud. Data stays where it lives. We never train on your records. Unlike platforms that train a shared model on aggregated customer data, Lumiere reads only your records — your consultants, your engagements, your rates. No model yet? Rent ours with the same guarantees, and switch when procurement clears yours.
