The story

LMN began in 2009 as budgeting and estimating software for landscape contractors and expanded into CRM, scheduling, job costing, and mobile crew tracking. Under parent brand Granum (also owner of SingleOps for arborists and Greenius for training), it has moved deliberately into embedded payments — relaunching LMN Pay on Stripe in 2025-2026 — and added consumer home-improvement financing through Acorn Finance in 2022, positioning the operations tool as the financial system of record for green-industry SMBs.
