Lucca develops SaaS solutions to increase employee efficiency and engagement.
We address key administrative and HR management areas: time and activities, annual reviews, employee pulse surveys, expense reports, and more.
While we work in the serious field of management tools, we believe software doesn't have to be gray, ugly, or boring. That's why we prioritize interface design and user experience.
In 2022, Lucca celebrated its 20th anniversary and began its internationalization journey by opening its first two subsidiaries outside France, in ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ and ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ฎ. This continued in 2024 with the opening of our ๐ ๐๐ป๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต office!
2022 was also when we began professionalizing our localization approach (first hire, TMS implementation, etc.). Since then, we've continued to grow the team to strengthen our internationalization efforts.
Our software interfaces are currently available in more than ๐ณ ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ (French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, and Portuguese), and our Sales and Customer Success teams support clients in 4 of them.
As more clients operate across multiple countries, we want to deliver the best user experience. This means improving the ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ and ๐พ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ of translations for both software and documentation.
