Lucrefy

Solution Pitch 

The Problem

Small companies have a high rate of mortality, with a maximum of three years of existence. Among the reasons for a high number of companies closing doors, the lack of financial control is one of them. Currently solutions require finance knowledge or Excel skills, or are complicated to be used.

The Solution

Lucrefy supports micro and small companies to control their finance numbers via WhatsApp or Telegram, using simple text messages. Lucrefy merges the usability, easy to access, and customer familiarity of such apps (available in more than 90% of mobile phones in several countries) with artificial intelligence to organize companies' figures. Lucrefy is a finance chatbot that uses messaging apps, APIs and AI to provide finance control using ordinary text messaging, taking advantage of NLP (Natural Language Processing), transforming common messages into financial statements and commands control.
Lucrefy works by translating sentences users share like "paid 100 products" or "sold 400 debit" or "profit", and providing graphics and analysis of the business. There is no need to use Excel software or expensive and complex finance solutions.
