Let’s be honest: enterprise software sucks. It’s clunky, overpriced, and full of unnecessary complexity. Instead of making businesses more efficient, it slows them down with bloated features, confusing UI, and frustrating limitations.
If you’ve ever had to deal with enterprise platforms, you know the pain. First, you have to sit through endless sales calls just to find out how much it costs. Then, once you’re locked into an expensive contract, you realize that implementing the software is way harder than it should be. By the time you’ve fully customized it to fit your company’s needs, you’re so deep into vendor lock-in that switching isn’t even an option.
At Lonti, we decided we weren’t going to play that game. We wanted to build something different—the kind of enterprise software we actually wanted to use.
The Problem with Traditional Enterprise Software
The enterprise software world is broken in three major ways:
Hidden Pricing & Sales Gimmicks
Most vendors refuse to show pricing on their websites. Instead, they force you to book a demo and sit through a sales pitch before you even know if the software fits your needs. It’s a frustrating, outdated process that wastes time and adds friction.Customization That Traps You
Enterprise solutions love to sell you on endless customization—but that customization quickly turns into a nightmare. Every tweak locks you deeper into their ecosystem, making it harder and harder to switch. Eventually, companies stop updating their systems out of fear that one change will break everything.Slow, Complicated Implementations
Instead of being intuitive, most enterprise tools require months (or years) of implementation work just to get running. They’re built for procurement checklists, not real users, which means more money spent on consultants, onboarding, and maintenance just to keep things working.
The result? Companies get stuck using slow, fragile software that they can’t easily upgrade or replace.
How We Built Something Better
Instead of copying the same broken enterprise model, we threw out the playbook and built a company that prioritizes users over sales cycles.
Transparent Pricing & Self-Service Access
We don’t hide our pricing or force you into a demo before you can see how the platform works. You can explore Lonti without talking to a salesperson, and if you want to talk to us, it’s because you need help—not because you’re trapped in a sales funnel.
Configurable, Not Fragile
Unlike traditional enterprise platforms that force you to hard-code every little customization, Lonti is built to be flexible. Our low-code, API-first approach allows you to configure workflows, integrations, and automation without turning your system into an unmaintainable mess.
Built for Developers, Not Just Business Users
Most low-code tools are built for business teams, not developers. That’s why they feel restrictive the second you try to do anything complex. Lonti takes a developer-first approach while still giving business users the tools they need. You can use pre-built automation or write custom logic—whichever works best for your use case.
No Lock-In, No BS
We don’t rely on long contracts or forced upsells to keep customers. Our philosophy is simple: if the product is good, people will stay. We built Lonti to be modular, scalable, and easy to evolve—so if your business changes, your software can change with you.
The Future of Enterprise Software Shouldn’t Suck
Enterprise software doesn’t have to be slow, expensive, and frustrating. It can be fast, intuitive, and built for the people who actually use it. That’s what we’re doing at Lonti—building a platform that actually empowers developers and businesses, instead of trapping them in complexity.
