Positioned highest in Ability to Execute and furthest in Completeness of Vision.

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LumApps, the global leader in employee experience platforms, today announced that it has been recognized as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Intranet Packaged Solutions for the fourth consecutive year, positioning highest in Ability to Execute and furthest in Completeness of Vision.

We believe the platform is recognized for its employee-ready agents, rapid information search, and enterprise automation, allowing teams to connect to any tool, orchestrate workflows and agents, and automate everyday work.

To support diverse employee experience needs across midmarket and large enterprises, LumApps unifies desk, frontline, and physical operations directly into its core platform – delivering new, deeply integrated capabilities including:

Frontline Workers (formerly Beekeeper): Anchored in domain-specific expertise, LumApps natively delivers mobile-first workflows tailored for fast-paced, industry-specific environments such as Retail, Manufacturing, and Healthcare.Workplace Experience (formerly Comeen): Rather than treating physical spaces as separate silos, LumApps seamlessly embeds physical and spatial services – including room booking, digital signage, and visitor management – directly into the digital employee experience.

“We see this recognition as both an important milestone for LumApps and an encouragement to keep progress moving forward for our customers and with our partners,” said Sébastien Cano, incoming CEO of LumApps. “AI is fundamentally changing how people interact with technology at work. Our ambition is to turn that potential into everyday adoption and value for all businesses and employees. We will keep exploring what AI makes possible, pushing our innovation forward and building for where work is going next.” 

Delivering on the Workhub Vision

Building on this position, LumApps accelerated its transformation in 2026 from the first Connected Employee Hub into the industry’s first AI Employee Hub with the launch of LumApps AI on June 23, 2026, closing the AI adoption gap for employees.

The 2026 rollout of LumApps AI is the first step in powering the future of work through the Workhub vision, helping all employees – across any role or industry – drive instant execution and digital transformation securely and at scale.

Today, LumApps serves thousands of organizations and more than 7 million users worldwide, trusted by global brands across industries including Airbus, Japan Airlines, Zapier, LVMH, Publicis Sapient, and Veolia.
