Beekeeper is a mobile-first communication and workflow platform for frontline employees who work without a desk or corporate email. An ETH Zurich spin-off founded in 2012, it joined LumApps Group in July 2025 and is now part of LumApps. Hotels, factories and retailers use it to reach staff through Streams, posts and chats, run digital checklists, forms and incident reports, assign tasks, and handle shift swaps and approvals. Through Makini's Unified API, an industrial software product can bring its alerts and records to the people on the floor, where the connection supports it. A predictive maintenance tool that has raised a work order in the plant's CMMS can post a notice to the Stream for that line, so operators see it on their phones. An EHS product reads users and groups to match each site's crews with its own location records. An OEM service portal checks a site's groups before sharing maintenance instructions. A Beekeeper user signs in through Makini Link, embedded in the vendor's product or sent as a magic link, so credentials never pass through the vendor's application. Data then syncs on an interval set by the Makini plan, not in real time. Beekeeper grants API access through bot accounts that an administrator creates in the Dashboard; a bot has normal member permissions unless Admin Permissions is turned on, so agree its groups with the customer. LumApps is merging the two products in phases, so confirm the customer's tenant before rollout.
