The platform
Run the whole operation on one system
Most field service businesses run on a patchwork of spreadsheets, WhatsApp and an accounting package. Luminary replaces the patchwork, not the accountant.
One system, quote to cash
Pipeline, work orders, purchasing and invoicing live in the same platform, so there is no retyping between the sales sheet, the job card and the accounts package.
Built around field operations
Scheduling, timesheets and job cards are designed for crews in vehicles, not consultants at desks. The office sees what the field does, as it happens.
Profit visible per job
Labour rates, purchase orders and hours roll up into gross profit per job, per department and per period, before the month closes rather than after.
Modules
Every module, one record, one login
Start where it hurts most and replace one system at a time. Every module reads the same customer, job and stock records, so nothing is retyped and nothing disagrees.
CRM
Leads, quotes, pipeline and full customer history. Every module reads the same customer record.
Field Service
Jobs, scheduling, technicians, timesheets and job cards, built for teams in the field.
Analytics & Live Ops
The owner's view: the whole business live from anywhere, profit per job and department on true cost, exceptions to your phone.
Stock
Purchase orders, receipts, issues to jobs, resale lines and landed cost. Nothing retyped.
Finance Link
Invoicing and sync to Sage, Xero or Pastel, so the books always agree with the floor.
Custom Modules
Anything your business needs, built into the same system. Your trade's module, in the same screens, in weeks.
People & Payroll Link
Headcount, leave and payslips alongside the operational data.
Compliance
Certificates, test records and statutory paperwork attached to the job they belong to.
Who it's for
Built for businesses that make things and send teams to site
If your revenue is earned on the shop floor, in vehicles, on ladders and in plant rooms, Luminary was designed around your day.
Manufacturing & workshops
Job shops and light manufacturers costing production per job, from quote to dispatch.
Electrical
Contractors running installation, maintenance and compliance work.
Mechanical & HVAC
Service businesses balancing planned maintenance with callouts.
Trades & maintenance
Plumbing, refrigeration and multi-trade teams quoting job by job.
Construction & light industrial
Project-based operations that need cost control per site.
Why Luminary
Global software wasn't built for this market
Enterprise ERP is too heavy and too expensive. Horizontal SaaS is too shallow. African manufacturing and field service SMEs deserve software built for them.
Vertical, not generic
Luminary does one thing deeply: ERP for manufacturing and field service businesses. Every module is shaped by how workshops and trades companies actually quote, schedule, produce, buy and invoice, the way ServiceTitan proved out in the US.
Right-sized for SMEs
Enterprise ERP is priced and scoped for corporates. Luminary gives a 10 to 200 person business the same operational control without the seven-figure implementation.
African-first
Rand pricing, Sage Business Cloud integration, and product decisions made for African operating realities. Built in Cape Town for businesses global SaaS overlooks.
Pricing
Simple pricing that scales with you
One subscription per business. Pricing scales with the modules you switch on and the size of your team. No per seat games.

People
Who builds Luminary
Luminary is built in Cape Town by people who spend their weeks inside real service businesses, not in boardrooms.
Yorke Mulckhuyse
Founder and CEO
Yorke is the systems consultant behind Mulckhuyse Consulting, the Cape Town consultancy that builds custom CRM, field service and reporting platforms for trades and industrial companies. Luminary grew out of that work: years of shaping software on real workshop floors and service fleets, now productised into one system.
