Lucian Holtwiesche
CEO & Co-Founder at anny
This Executive Interview was submitted by the profile owner and published after SoftwareWorld editorial review.
Please tell us about yourself in the context of your software and give a brief intro to the software.
Even at 16, I wanted to be an inventor. My teachers told me that wasn’t a real job, years later I realized it’s simply called being an entrepreneur. I’ve always been drawn to solving coordination challenges and creating things from scratch.<div><br></div><div>I studied mechanical engineering, taught myself programming, built a ticketing system, and even organized Germany’s largest pool party. These experiences showed me how fundamental bookings are in everyday life and how little existing tools adapt to real-world complexity.</div><div><br></div><div>That insight led to anny: a modern, highly flexible booking platform for desk sharing, room bookings, event management, and more—all in one system.</div>
What was the core reason behind developing this software?
We wanted to create a solution that would allow people to book anything, anytime, anywhere.<div><br></div><div>In doing so, we identified four fundamental problems:</div><div><br></div><div>- Unused resources: rooms, desks, parking spaces, or equipment remain empty/unused.</div><div>- Complex reality: every organization has different processes that existing tools do not reflect.</div><div>- Fragmented solutions: many teams use isolated solutions, Excel, or in-house developments.</div><div>- Difficult collaboration: especially when external guests, partners, or customers are involved.</div><div><br></div><div>Our mission: to make resources usable efficiently and enable organizations to make everything shareable and bookable.</div>
How is your software different from other alternatives available in the market? How does it benefit your customers?
Although there are many booking tools available, we see that organizations often revert back to Excel because the solutions on the market are too rigid.<div><br></div><div>anny stands out thanks to three key aspects:</div><div><br></div><div>- Extremely high flexibility & enterprise grade: Customers can map any booking scenario—from desk sharing and parking spaces to equipment, event spaces, or services.</div><div>- Internal and external bookings in one system: Companies can even rent out unused capacity externally, a decisive advantage in times of efficient space utilization.</div><div>- Amazon-like user experience: All resources in one app: intuitive, fast, with features such as an immersive 3D map that conveys a feeling of an open “game world” experience.</div><div><br></div><div>The result: extremely high usage rates (in some cases over 90%) and a noticeable increase in transparency, engagement, and utilization.</div>
Which industries do you cover in general? Are there any specific industries that are more beneficial using your software?
Today, anny is used in a wide variety of areas:<div><br></div><div>- Business & enterprise IT (desk sharing, meeting rooms, parking spaces)</div><div>- Universities & educational institutions</div><div>- Coworking spaces & shared offices</div><div>- Clubs, associations, and communities (e.g., music rooms, creative workshops)</div><div>- Cities & municipalities (sports facilities, community centers, rooms)</div><div>- Service providers (wellness, fitness, workshops, training)</div><div>- Organizations that share many resource, from workspaces to event spaces to equipment, benefit particularly from this.</div>
What are the core features of your software that make your product stand out in the competitive market?
These are some of the core features that make anny a leading all-in-one booking and resource management platform:<div><br></div><div>- Immersive 3D map for exploring office spaces and finding colleagues</div><div>- Flexible booking system for almost any scenario</div><div>- Wide integration variety (e.g., Microsoft 365, Google, SSO)</div><div>- External rental options & payment integration</div><div>- Enterprise features: roles & permissions, data protection, audits, API-first</div><div>- Community features: find colleagues, share rooms, invite people directly</div><div>- A one-stop shop for all bookings within the company plus visitor management</div>
How do you justify the value of your software compared to its cost?
Our customers achieve measurable effects:<div><br></div><div>- Space savings of up to 40% through intelligent desk sharing </div><div>- Less vacancy & more utilization</div><div>- Hardly any training required thanks to intuitive UX</div><div>- Savings on multiple isolated applications (only one procurement process)</div><div>- Revenue through external leasing</div><div><br></div><div>This means that the costs often pay for themselves very quickly, while both employees and HR or IT teams benefit immediately.</div>
How will you keep up with new technology and customer requirements?
We operate an open roadmap, talk to customers on a weekly basis, and stay deeply involved in the product as a team — I personally still jump into the support chat on a regular basis. Our focus is always on what truly matters for people and what simplifies their workflow. To keep pace with new technology and evolving requirements, we ship new features every two weeks and continuously refine the experience based on real-world feedback.
Where will you see your software in the next 10 years, and what are your future plans for that?
Our long-term goal is ambitious: <span style="font-size: 0.9375rem;">anny will become the platform that comes to mind when it comes to booking management—the Amazon experience for resources.</span><div><br><div><span style="font-size: 0.9375rem;">Whether it's:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 0.9375rem;">- your workplace in the office</span></div><div>- your internal IT device</div><div>- the city's sports hall</div><div>- or your weekend yoga class</div><div><br></div><div>anny should be available everywhere. We are strongly focused on network effects, because people already use anny at university, at work, and in their free time and that's exactly where the enormous growth potential lies.</div></div>
What steps are you taking to adapt your product for a mobile-driven world?
To ensure anny delivers a seamless booking experience on mobile devices, we continuously optimize the platform for a mobile-driven world:<div><br></div><div>- Mobile-first UI for all core actions</div><div><span style="font-size: 0.9375rem;">- 3D map fully optimized for touch navigation</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 0.9375rem;">- Push notifications, check-ins, and QR-based flows</span></div><div>-Ongoing developments to strengthen the overall app experience</div><div><span style="font-size: 0.9375rem;">- Future addition of chat and voice interfaces for an even more intuitive mobile experience</span></div>
What are your efforts for maintaining software integrity and regulatory compliance?
While operating internationally, anny is made in Germany with high standards towards data protection and security:<div><br><div>- GDPR compliant, regular audits</div><div>- Roles and rights, logging and auditing</div><div>- Encrypted data processing</div><div>- Enterprise security, SSO, MFA</div><div>- Clear transparency rules for personal data</div><div><br></div></div>
Could you explain how you create and sustain healthy relationships with your customers?
Strong, long-term customer relationships are central to how we work. This includes:<div><br><div>- Open roadmap – feedback flows directly into development</div><div>- Support that remains human and approachable</div><div>- Regular check-ins</div><div>- Joint success measurements</div><div>- The mindset: We don't work “for” our customers, but “with” them</div><div><br></div><div>One of my favorite examples: A large event center in Munich, we spontaneously drove there, set up a booking scenario together, and implemented it immediately. It is precisely this proximity that defines anny.</div></div>
What is the biggest challenge that you have faced, and how did you overcome it to make your software successful?
The biggest challenge was the market itself: although there are many booking tools available, organizations were frustrated because solutions were too inflexible and rarely worked beyond a single scenario.<div><br></div><div>We solved this problem by:</div><div><br></div><div>- Developing a radically flexible system instead of an off-the-shelf tool</div><div>- combining use cases—from desk sharing to events to internal services</div><div>- making it as easy to use as possible</div><div>- intelligently abstracting complexity</div><div>- <span style="font-size: 0.9375rem;">creating an immersive experience that employees really enjoy using</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 0.9375rem;"><br></span></div><div>The result: anny works just as well in companies with ten employees as it does in global enterprise organizations.</div>
