Manchester, UK — Serial tech entrepreneur Emmanuel Olorunshola today opened the public beta of Luwasuite, a cloud platform that folds HR, payroll, project management, finance, and a Home-Office-compliance dashboard into a single, affordable workspace.Designed for scale-ups that have outgrown spreadsheets but baulk at knitting together a patchwork of apps, Luwasuite promises to “put enterprise-class process automation within reach of every SME,” says Olorunshola, who moved from Lagos to Manchester in 2023.
One Source of Truth for Growing Companies
| Pillar | Core Capabilities |
| Modular HR Core | Hiring pipeline · Digital contracts · Absence & leave tracking |
| Projects Workspace | Kanban & Gantt views · Task chat · Real-time budget burn |
| Payroll & Finance | HMRC-ready calculations · Multi-currency invoicing · Expenses via mobile scan |
| AI Insights | Anomaly alerts (“Why did payroll spike 14%?”) · Predictive staffing forecasts |
| Sponsorship Compliance | Right-to-work checks · Licence-reporting reminders · Audit-ready logs |
Early adopters—now 49 companies across the UK, Nigeria, and Kenya—report 20–30% reductions in admin time after migrating from separate HR, project, and payroll tools.
Origin Story
After running several businesses and juggling pricey SaaS licences, Olorunshola decided to build a unified platform from scratch. He assembled a remote engineering team split between India and Lagos, translating his own pain points into product requirements.
“I knew exactly which buttons were costing us money every month,” he says. “Luwasuite eliminates those buttons.”
Market Opportunity
Workforce-management software generated £23 billion globally in 2024 and is forecast to grow 11% CAGR through 2028 (IDC). Mid-market firms—25 to 250 employees—are the fastest adopters, yet many still run on spreadsheets plus a handful of freemium apps.
Luwasuite wants to be “the SME version of an ERP, minus the six-figure invoice.”

“We’re not just writing code; we’re rewriting how small businesses operate,” Olorunshola says. “The goal is to free teams to focus on growth, not grunt work—and to stay on the right side of the regulator while they’re at it.”
