Our verdict on Lumi
Lumi is cloud-based scheduling and business software for dog grooming businesses, serving solo groomers and growing salons. It combines online booking pages, a drag-and-drop calendar, staff schedules, customer and pet profiles, grooming history, reminders, payment collection, customer portals, recurring bookings, analytics, and staff management. Its digital pet records can include vaccination records, grooming notes, history, and photos, while recurring and multi-pet bookings support more involved appointment workflows. Lumi is web-only and is designed for businesses that want scheduling and broader operational tools in one system.
Pricing is structured across four monthly plans, with prices in NZD including GST. Seedling costs NZD 49 per month for 1 staff member, 50 bookings per month, 100 SMS messages, an online booking page, email reminders, and customer and pet profiles. Grow costs NZD 79 per month and adds 2 staff members, 150 bookings, 200 SMS messages, a basic landing page, a customer portal, and recurring bookings. Bloom costs NZD 129 per month with 5 staff members, unlimited bookings, 350 SMS messages, a full landing page, marketing automations, and an AI assistant. Flourish costs NZD 179 per month and adds unlimited staff, 500 SMS messages, Xero accounting sync, a custom domain, staff commissions and payroll, and priority support. A 14-day trial is available for Seedling and Grow without a card requirement.
Lumi’s ecosystem is a strong fit for businesses that need more than appointment booking. It supports Stripe, Square, PayPal, Google Calendar, Xero, Mailchimp, and iCalendar, plus two-way Google Calendar synchronization. AI features include a business assistant and customer chatbot, while revenue analytics and client retention insights extend the product beyond the calendar. The trade-off is its web-only format and the limits on lower plans, particularly for staff, bookings, and SMS. Solo groomers with modest volume can start with Seedling; growing salons should consider Grow or Bloom, while larger teams needing payroll features and unlimited staff are better suited to Flourish.
