Less Annoying CRM keeps shipping the small stuff users have asked for, and one big workflow piece.
LACRM is in steady customer-driven iteration mode — task customization, rich text fields, undo on destructive actions, twelve small requested features in a single release. The standout from the past six months is automations, which finally gives the product a workflow primitive comparable to higher-end CRMs without abandoning its simplicity-first positioning.
KIMISUITE extends its all-in-one hub strategy into restaurant management with a new POS platform.
KIMISUITE positions itself as an integrated, multi-hub business platform spanning hotel booking, CRM, and now restaurant operations, sold on workspace-based transparent pricing rather than per-room or per-module fees. The feed mixes a genuine product launch with pricing-philosophy and SEO content (hotel metrics, e-invoicing, visibility). The pricing-as-differentiation argument is the consistent thread.
LACRM is in steady customer-driven iteration mode — task customization, rich text fields, undo on destructive actions, twelve small requested features in a single release. The standout from the past six months is automations, which finally gives the product a workflow primitive comparable to higher-end CRMs without abandoning its simplicity-first positioning.
The product is broadening from contact management into light workflow tooling — automations, update forms, deeper Zapier hooks — while continuing to invest in the unglamorous quality-of-life work (relative date filters, undo merge, group search). It is positioning against feature-rich competitors by being the CRM that respects the user's time, not by matching feature surface area.
Expect automations to grow more triggers and conditions over the next quarter, especially around forms and pipeline movement, since the foundation just landed and Zapier integration coverage is being filled in. The next user-visible bet is likely a reporting or dashboard improvement, since visibility hasn't moved while the workflow surface has.

The launch of Gastro POS HUB signals KIMISUITE is widening its hub portfolio horizontally — adding a new vertical (restaurants) to the same integrated, single-platform model it pushes for hotels and CRM. The recurring 'transparent pricing beats modules' messaging frames each new hub as another reason to consolidate onto one vendor. The direction is suite-breadth expansion under a unified commercial model.
Expect further hubs or deeper AI features layered onto existing ones (the feed already references AI insights and AI-powered CRM support), all reinforced by the integrated-platform, transparent-pricing pitch.
