Three jobs you stop doing by hand
Forward documents by email
Your team gets its own Lumen address. Forward the supplier’s email and the invoice, packing list or bill of lading is read from the attachment. No upload page, no retyping.

Every carrier invoice is checked against what the carrier agreed. Overcharges and charges nobody agreed are flagged before you pay.

Your suppliers, factories and drivers install nothing
Only your team signs in. Everyone else gets a link that opens in any phone browser, and what they send lands in Lumen for your team to approve.
Suppliers
Send the invoice, packing list and photos through a link for that one order. It goes straight into your review queue.
How it works for suppliersFactories
Scan the QR code at the workstation, enter the units done and add a photo. The buyer sees the progress.
How it works for factoriesTruck drivers
Tap Picked up, Arrived and Delivered on a link, with a photo at the door. Location only if they choose to share it.
How it works for truck driversYour clients
Follow every shipment on their own tracking link, around the clock, without calling you.
How it works for your clientsThe real app, on a sample invoice
These are screens from Lumen itself, run on one sample commercial invoice. The companies are made up; everything else is what the app does.
SampleGenerated by Lumen from the same sample invoice. Today your data moves as files: approved carrier bills download as a CSV for your accounts team, each broker pack downloads as a ZIP with a PDF, the lines as CSV and Excel, and the original documents, and shipments and POs can be bulk-loaded from a CSV.
See it work on each module
Choose a module on the left. The steps play through on their own, and you can click any step to jump to it.
Document reading
Much less typing from PDFs. A person still checks before anything is created.
Works with the tools you already use
Documents come in from your inbox and the finished work goes out to your books, without anyone copying it across.
QuickBooks Online
Every client invoice you send and every carrier bill you approve goes into your books by itself, against the accounts you choose.
Xero
The same for Xero: invoices and bills arrive as drafts for your accountant to approve, or approved, whichever you prefer.
Microsoft Outlook
Connect your mailbox and Lumen picks up invoices, packing lists and bills of lading within minutes of them arriving.
Gmail and any other email
One forwarding rule sends documents to your company’s Lumen address. Only your team and the senders you approve are read.
