2 min

How it all started: The story behind anny

How do you build a platform that makes booking resources as straightforward as online shopping? And what personal experiences shape a vision that supports companies globally today?
SourceForge explored exactly these questions in the new podcast with our CEO and Co-Founder Lucian.

In the conversation, he shares how the dream of becoming an "inventor" led to the idea for anny. From the first self-programmed software projects to organizing Germany's largest pool party, to realizing that our modern work environment urgently needs flexible and comprehensive booking solutions, the podcast connects personal insights, founding stories, and forward-looking perspectives on the world of booking management.

What to Expect in the Podcast

Without giving too much away, here's a little preview:

Why anny was founded: From the passion for coordinating and the desire to finally make resources efficiently usable.
The biggest challenges for our customers: Hybrid work, unused workspaces, and fragmented tools, and how anny resolves all this in one platform.
What makes anny special: Flexible workflows, internal and external bookings, an Amazon-like user experience, and an immersive 3D map that truly connects teams.
Customer experiences & team culture: Why our CEO still helps in support every week and how we develop real-time solutions with customers on-site.

Where anny is headed

Building on these insights, the podcast goes a step further and shows where anny is heading in the coming years. Besides today's flexibility, the focus is primarily on: the next generation of booking management.

anny is already working on new, intelligent interfaces, from voice-based bookings to the admin co-pilot for automated account and resource management, to an even more immersive 3D map that makes rooms, teams, and processes more intuitively accessible. The goal is clear: to make resources more efficiently usable and provide both internal and external users with a continuously seamless, modern booking experience.
