Product page: <https://lumoraone.io/products/clarity>

**Category:** Enterprise resource planning (ERP)

Lumora Clarity connects accounting, procurement, inventory, operations, fixed assets and project profitability in one application. Purchase requisitions become purchase orders and goods received notes with approvals on the record, stock moves between warehouses with FIFO or weighted-average valuation, and management reports draw on the same ledger. It is a one-time product purchase, not a per-user subscription.

**Built for:** Chief financial officers; Chief operating officers; Supply chain heads; Inventory controllers; Project managers

## Problems it solves

- **ERP licenses are priced per user, so adding staff raises the bill.** Lumora Clarity is bought once as a product purchase rather than rented per user.
- **Purchase approvals are chased by email and paper.** Requisitions, purchase orders and goods received notes follow approval hierarchies inside Lumora Clarity.
- **Stock in several warehouses is reconciled by hand.** Multi-warehouse stock tracking, inter-warehouse transfers, adjustments and reorder point triggers keep stock levels on one system.
- **Project profitability is only known after the books close.** Timesheets, milestones and budget guardrails show each project's gross margin as work progresses.
- **The company's financial ledgers sit on a vendor's platform.** Lumora Clarity runs on one agreed hosting environment, managed by Lumora or on your own hosting.

## What makes it different

- **Bought once, not licensed per user**: Lumora Clarity is a one-time product purchase. The base license covers the product as it is today; the extended license adds 5 years of product updates from the go-live date.
- **Accounting, procurement, stock and projects on one ledger**: Multi-currency accounting, procurement approvals, multi-warehouse stock and project profitability share the same records.
