Software distribution, built as software.
Lucent1 is an AI-native platform where vendors set their channel economics once and IT resellers quote in seconds, at a flat 1%. Launching in Australia.
One platform. One percent. One rule for everyone.
What this is
The quoting, the pricing, the deal registration, the subscription management and the renewals all run as software. Vendors configure their channel economics once and the platform executes them.
Getting started
IT resellers onboard in minutes, with the first quote inside the same few minutes. Vendors onboard in under 24 hours, supplying pricing by file upload, drag and drop, or API.
Quoting
Quotes are generated in under 5 seconds. Each vendor's pricing and volume model is built individually to match how that vendor already works, so the quote is right the first time. Deal registration passes directly to the vendor by API for their approval.
After the sale
Quotes convert into live subscriptions on monthly, 12, 36 and 60 month terms. Licences and products can be added to a live subscription and co-termed to its existing end date, so a customer renews on one date rather than across a scattered calendar. Renewal alerts run automatically at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days.
What AI-native means here
15 AI agents at launch, 12 automated workflow agents and 3 conversational assistants. They run the quoting, deal registration, co-terming, renewals, invoicing, onboarding and churn detection, rather than assisting a person who does.
Why now
Software distribution has run on the same model for four decades. It was designed for a channel that moved hardware, and it cannot be retrofitted for one that moves software.
Building it as software is a different starting position, not a better version of the same one.
Who it is for
IT resellers
Lucent1 gives IT resellers one place to quote, transact and manage every subscription, at a rate that never changes.
Every subscription, from first quote to next renewal.
Vendors
Lucent1 gives vendors a channel that runs as software, so the margin you design for your resellers is the margin they receive.
Your program, delivered as written.
What you are charged
Lucent1 charges a flat 1% on every transaction. No tiers, no volume thresholds, no backend rebates, no margin stacking. The same rate applies to every IT reseller regardless of size.
Every transaction shows three numbers. The vendor base cost. Our 1%. Your total.
The first number is the one you have never been shown.
| Vendor base cost | $1,000.00 |
|---|---|
| Lucent1 1% | $10.00 |
| IT reseller total | $1,010.00 |
- Vendor base cost
- What the vendor charges for the IT reseller's account, under their own pricing model. Shown first, before anything is added to it.
- Lucent1 1%
- Flat. The same for every IT reseller, regardless of size or volume. It does not change as volume grows.
- IT reseller total
- Those two figures, added. Nothing applied afterwards, and no rebates or adjustments later that would change what was quoted.
- The platform subscription
- Lucent1 also charges a platform subscription, separately from the 1% and on both sides. It is not a transaction cost, so it is not part of the figures above. Pricing sets out both charges in full.
Where we are
Launch stage
We are launching in Australia, and we are early. The platform is built so that every region we enter runs on the same model.
Vendors
We are signing vendors one at a time, and we will tell you exactly which ones are on the platform rather than implying more. Which vendors we sign next is driven by IT reseller demand, so tell us which ones matter to your business.
What we ask of you
No lock-in contracts, no exclusivity, no volume commitments, no switching penalties.
Distribution was built for a different era. Lucent1 was built for this one.
Tell us who you are and what you need on the platform. If it is not there yet, we will tell you.
