Lightning Pharos

Your business, finally moving as one.

Sell (POS) will not start without Finance and CRM underneath it, so the playbook switches both on for you. Two of these fifteen are here because the product refuses to run otherwise, not because anyone upsold them.

Sales & CRM

2 modules

The customer, from first conversation to booked appointment, on records your team will actually keep current.

CRM· LimitsCompanies, contacts, and a pipeline that lives in one place.
  • Companies, contacts, and deals on one timeline, with an owner and a stage on every record
  • A pipeline you configure: your stages, your qualification fields, your close reasons
  • Email on the record through configured SMTP and IMAP, so sent messages and captured replies stay with the customer
  • Notes, activity history, and follow-up tasks against the customer instead of someone's inbox
  • Accounts, contacts, leads, deals, meetings, approvals, contracts, renewals, sequences and campaign records

Where it stops. SMTP and IMAP require configuration. WhatsApp is not implemented. HubSpot and Shopify adapters exist, but live provider operation is not yet a public promise.

See the complete module page
Bookings· LimitsDated customer engagements with a controlled commercial state.
  • CRM-linked bookings with inquiry, confirmed, completed, and cancelled states
  • Fees, advances, balances, refunds, and block dates held on the booking
  • Availability checks with refusal when the requested period is already booked
  • The booking stays attached to the customer record and its commercial history

Needs CRM switched on first: enforced in the product, not suggested.

Where it stops. Bookings does not yet provide a service catalogue, staff qualification or assignment, shift-based capacity, a time-slot engine, or a no-show state.

Roadmap: not shipping or priced
  • Copilot (In development)

    A conversational assistant for asking questions of your own operating data in plain language.

    Not built yet, so it is not in any plan, not in any price, and not counted among the modules above. You will hear it from us when it ships.
