LumApps, a global leader in next-generation intranet platforms, has entered into a definitive agreement to join forces with Beekeeper, the leading mobile-first platform for frontline teams. The transaction backed by Bridgepoint values the combined company at more than $1 billion and will create the first AI-powered Employee Hub — an all-in-one productivity and communication platform for frontline and desk-based employees.
LumApps specialises in AI-driven intranet solutions for desk-based teams, while Beekeeper focuses on mobile-first frontline workers in industries such as manufacturing, retail and hospitality. Together, they will deliver comprehensive workforce coverage across industries and regions, enabling unprecedented cross-selling, scaled distribution and accelerated innovation.
The combined company will serve over 7 million users across 2,000+ clients in all major industries. With c. $150 million in recurring revenue and a global team of over 600 employees across North America, Europe and Asia – including a fast-growing presence in Japan – the platform is set for accelerated growth.
This move establishes the LumApps Group as the clear leader in the Intranet Packaged Solutions (IPS) market — by revenue, user count, and active licenses, while redefining the category beyond IPS with the industry’s first full employee experience solution catering to both desk-based and frontline employees.
LumApps has accelerated its growth through four strategic acquisitions since 2021. This purposeful M&A strategy will remain central as the group continues to evolve and consolidate the market, which is shaped by trends like AI adoption, hybrid work and digital-first communication. With a $10 billion total addressable market growing at 15% annually*, the combined company aims to scale its client base significantly, targeting 100 million users by 2030.
“Beekeeper has built a game-changing platform for frontline employees worldwide, driving engagement and productivity,” said Sébastien Ricard, CEO and Co-Founder of LumApps. “Together, LumApps and Beekeeper will support all employees, everywhere, in this new age of work. I’m thrilled to welcome the Beekeeper team to the LumApps family.”
“LumApps redefined employee engagement through innovation and AI,” said Cris Grossmann, CEO and Co-Founder of Beekeeper. “Both companies share a vision and a passion of empowering employees. This partnership represents a bold move that will transform our industry, putting the success of desk and frontline employees at the center of everything we do.”
“Together, our innovation and integration efforts will deliver a uniquely powerful platform for organisations and their people,” said Elie Mélois, Chief Product & Technology Officer and Co-Founder of LumApps. “We’re pushing the limits of what an intranet platform can achieve, empowering employees in new ways and driving greater innovation for our customers and the industry.”
LumApps has been supported by Bridgepoint, one of the world’s leading quoted private asset growth investors, since 2024.
“We are incredibly proud to back visionary founders like Sébastien, Elie, and Cris as they scale transformative products and build global category leaders,” said David Nicault, Partner & Head of Technology, and Nadia Cid, Director at Bridgepoint. “LumApps and Beekeeper bring together two highly complementary platforms, redefining what’s possible in employee experience technology. With product leadership, AI-native architecture, and global scale, the combined company is ideally positioned to lead a category that’s more relevant than ever, connecting and empowering employees across industries.”
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to complete in July 2025. LumApps will continue to be majority owned by funds managed by Bridgepoint.
