Business Description
LUX aims to help solve social issues where people and time are in short supply by using cloud and IT technologies to improve work efficiency. One of its representative services, the Rakuraku series, is particularly strong in developing multiple services to support back-office operations (accounting, finance, human resources, sales administration, etc.).

▼ Features
We provide multiple SaaS services and are developing products that are widely used by enhancing each product. As an example, we focus on improving back-office operations for medium-sized companies, and aim to create products that are widely used without customizing them for specific customers. We will focus our efforts on expanding into areas where we can solve the pain points of many customers, and each product unit will have the strength in functionality and usability that makes it useful enough to be used in business operations.
Many of LUX executives are experienced engineers, and we consider product development as one of the important management centers.

Development Organization
While each service division employs a business unit system, the Development Division exists across services as a specialized technical organization with engineers belonging to it. We believe that engineers can contribute more to the business if we create an organization that emphasizes the values they cherish and the culture they themselves create, and as a specialized technical organization that does not belong to a business division, we aim to create an environment where engineers can thrive and enjoy working.

Mission: To create overwhelmingly easy-to-use SaaS that leads customers to customer success.
