Question 1: does it really work in Hebrew?
The diary, the booking page and the client messages should be fully Hebrew and right to left, not just translated buttons. Lumea is built Hebrew-first and comes in seven languages, so clients who speak Russian, Arabic or English can be served in their own language.
Question 2: does it send WhatsApp reminders?
Reminders are what cut no-shows. In Lumea messages go out on WhatsApp from the business's own number, and the client can confirm or ask for a change with one tap. WhatsApp messages come with the Starter plan and automatic reminders with Pro.
Question 3: can it issue invoices and receipts?
If you are a registered dealer or company in Israel, it helps to keep the diary and the documents in one place. Lumea's software is registered with the Israel Tax Authority (software registration no. 273401). Issuing tax documents is for businesses registered in Israel and comes with the Pro plan.
Question 4: what does it cost, and what is free?
Lumea has a free plan with no time limit and no credit card: calendar, clients and services. An online booking page and WhatsApp messages start at Starter, and automatic reminders and financial documents at Pro. Prices include VAT and are on the pricing page.
Question 5: how easy is it to move?
If your clients and diary are already somewhere else, you can import them from an Excel file or from Bumpix and see what will be imported before you confirm. There are iPhone and Android apps, and every team member has their own diary.
When Lumea fits, and when it probably does not
Lumea fits a business that works by appointment in Israel: salons, nail studios, cosmetics, barbers, clinics, coaches and therapists, especially if WhatsApp and tax documents in one place matter to you.
It fits less if you are outside Israel and need local tax documents, or if you need a full till system for a shop.
- Fits: a small business in Israel, diary and clients, WhatsApp, tax documents.
- Fits less: tax documents outside Israel, a till system for a shop.
