New KPMG Agentic ERP, now available with KPMG in 140+ countries Read the announcement

Light Universe

The ecosystem for AI‑native finance

Discover the partners, applications, expertise and community helping finance teams build and operate differently with Light.

An agentic ERP is only as powerful as the people building on it.

Light Universe is the ecosystem around the platform: the implementation partners who bring Light to new countries, the builders who extend it with applications and agents, the finance professionals who share what works, and the customers who push all of it further.

Together they turn one platform into something no single company could build: local expertise in every market, solutions for every industry, and a community that compounds what each member learns.

Together, we're building the future of AI-native finance. We'd love you to build it with us.

01

Every market

Implementation and consulting partners take Light into their countries, with the local languages, statutory requirements and compliance expertise each market demands.

City towers against a pale sky
02

Every industry

Industry experts and builders create the applications, workflows and compliance packs that make Light native to their sector, built by the people who know it best.

  1. 01High-growth technology

    Multi-entity consolidation, revenue recognition and investor reporting for companies scaling across borders faster than their finance team can hire.

  2. 02Manufacturing

    Cost of goods, inventory-heavy ledgers and multi-site statutory reporting, with partners who already know how a manufacturer closes its month.

  3. 03Retail & wholesale

    High transaction volumes, multi-channel revenue and VAT across every market you sell in, reconciled continuously rather than at quarter end.

  4. 04Professional services

    Project and client profitability, work in progress and billing schedules, with revenue recognised as the work is actually delivered.

  5. 05Construction

    Long-running projects, milestone billing, retentions and subcontractor payments held together on one live ledger.

  6. 06Healthcare

    Multi-site operations, tight approval controls and the audit trails that regulated care providers are expected to produce on demand.

  7. 07Financial services

    Regulated reporting, segregation of duties and continuously monitored controls, with the evidence auditors ask for already assembled.

  8. 08Transport & logistics

    Fleet and fuel costs, cross-border VAT and country per-diem rules applied automatically on every journey and every claim.

  9. 09Hospitality

    Daily takings across every site, payroll-heavy cost bases and seasonal swings, consolidated in real time instead of weekly.

  10. 10Energy & utilities

    Capital projects, asset accounting and long-cycle revenue reported under multiple standards at the same time.

  11. 11Agriculture

    Seasonal cycles, subsidy accounting and commodity-linked revenue, with local statutory compliance built in by regional partners.

    Build

    Create proprietary applications and intellectual property, and publish them through the future Marketplace.

  3. 3

    Grow recurring revenue

    Build a practice around support, compliance and managed services. The future of managed services is managed agents.

I'm a Builder

If you can describe it, you can build it

No proprietary language to learn. No framework to adopt. No four-week review queue. Agents build the app with you in plain English, agents review it when you submit, and approval puts it straight into Light Apps. Idea to live, in a day.

  1. 1

    Say what it should do

    Describe the app in plain English, the way you would explain it to a colleague. There is no SDK to learn and no vocabulary we invented for you to memorise. Ask for a sandbox and start the same day.

  2. 2

    An agent builds it with you

    The agent writes it against Light's open API and live ledger events, wires up the data and tests it in your sandbox while you watch. You steer. It does the typing.

  3. 3

    Instant agentic reviews

    Submit, and an agent checks it for security and data handling in minutes. Approved apps go straight into Light Apps. No queue, no four-week wait. You set the price, and every team that installs it is recurring revenue.

Built together, in one day

Many of these apps started at a Light event. Finance Hackathons pair finance teams with Light specialists and AI builders to ship a working app in a day, and the Builders Club meets regularly to build in Light with our team.
