Lantavio

Lantern + flow

From first spark to final payment.

Lantavio brings leads, clients, projects, invoices, documents, schedules, conversations, and flexible spreadsheets into one clear workspace.

Lantern Flow

Product journey

The same records stay connected.

Inquiry, relationship, work, approval, and payment are not separate products. They are one client story moving through a single workspace.

  1. 01 Inquiry

    A lead arrives with context.

    The first message, source, and follow-up stay on the same record—ready to become a client without retyping the story.

  2. 02 Relationship

    The client dossier holds the thread.

    Projects, messages, documents, and money attach to one person or studio. Nothing lives in a disconnected inbox.

  3. 03 Work

    The project keeps the schedule honest.

    Tasks, milestones, sheets, and calendar dates stay linked to the engagement you actually booked.

  4. 04 Approval

    Quotes, contracts, and reviews stay visible.

    The same client record shows what is waiting—unsigned work, open questions, and the next decision.

  5. 05 Payment

    The invoice closes the loop.

    Deposits, installments, and manual payment records remain on the project that earned them.

Command Center

Know what comes next.

Lantavio uses a top-navigation desk—not a permanent sidebar. Daily Focus, business signals, follow-ups, and work requiring attention sit on one surface, with Quick Create a keystroke away.

  • Daily Focus — the few tasks that actually move a relationship or money.
  • Business signals — open balances and live desk status, not a chart wall.
  • Follow-ups — lead and client dates stay on the same calendar.
  • Work requiring attention — overdue payment, unsigned contract, new inquiry.
Lantavio Command Center interface: top navigation, Daily Focus, focus strip, and a business signal.

Connected workspace

One map. Not nine equal boxes.

Clients, Projects, Calendar, Tasks, Documents, Messages, Forms, Money, and Sheets attach to the same spine. You move along the work—not between disconnected apps.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Who is Lantavio for?

What does the founding beta include?

Founding Solo is one workspace and one user, with leads and clients, projects and tasks, invoices and manual payment tracking, documents, calendar, messages and forms, Lantavio Sheets, and reasonable beta storage. Email delivery, online card/ACH payments, and PDF generation are not active yet.

Can I import existing business records?

Bulk CRM import is not available yet. You can create leads, clients, projects, and invoices in the workspace. Lantavio Sheets can import CSV into the current worksheet. Full Excel (.xlsx) import is coming later.

Does Lantavio accept online payments?

Not yet. You can issue invoices on the ledger and record payments manually. Card and ACH collection are not active. There is no public payment page during this beta.

Can Lantavio Sheets open Excel files?

Not yet. Sheets is a native workbook with formulas, multiple worksheets, formatting, validation, conditional formatting, filters, sorting, client/project linking, and cloud snapshots. XLSX import and export require a conversion service that is not live. Sheets is not full Excel parity.

Is Lantavio suitable for teams?

The founding beta is one workspace and one user. Shared team seats, roles, and multi-user plans are not offered yet.

Will the founding price change?

Founding Solo is $15/month. That founding price remains locked while you stay continuously subscribed. Billing is not active during the current closed beta—you will be notified before any paid subscription begins.
