Lucrum Data Solutions builds custom dashboards and back-office systems for boarding, training, and show barns. We turn the chaos of paper logs, sticky notes, and tabs in Excel into a single screen that tells you exactly where your money is — and where it's leaking.
Built for facility owners who've outgrown the spreadsheet but aren't ready for $50K-a-year enterprise software. We meet you where you are.
Every barn owner we talk to has the same story: the business started small, the records lived on paper and one trusted spreadsheet, and it worked. Then the barn grew. Boarders came and went. Add-ons multiplied. A trainer started running lessons. Soon there were six spreadsheets, three notebooks, two billing apps — and one barn manager who is the only person who knows how any of it works.
That's what costs you money. Quietly. Every month.
Nobody's tracking the daily cost of an empty stall, so filling it doesn't feel urgent — until you calculate the annual number and realize what's missing.
Blanketing in November, extra turnout for the easy-keepers, supplements someone added without updating the board agreement. Service goes out the door. Revenue doesn't come back in.
You don't have a clean view of who's been here three months versus three years. Or whose autopay didn't renew. Or who you should have called last week.
"Are we busier than last year?" gets answered with a shrug instead of a number. Pricing, staffing, expansion — all gut, no data.
A fully working sample dashboard built for a hypothetical 24-stall boarding facility. Every number is live — rename a boarder, change a board tier, toggle add-ons (BL, VH, SU, ET), and watch the revenue, occupancy, and "vacant potential" numbers recalculate in real time.

I started Lucrum Data Solutions after spending years on two parallel tracks — earning a Master's in Business Analytics, and running operations as a General Manager in fast-paced service environments where every shift was scored on labor, inventory, customer retention, and daily P&L.
Those two worlds usually don't talk to each other. Most data consultants have never had to make payroll, count inventory at 5am, or look a frustrated customer in the eye. Most operators have never built a SQL database or a regression model. I sit in the middle.
Horse barns hit me as a perfect fit. Almost every operator is still on paper or in a spreadsheet that one person understands. Lucrum exists to change that — giving barn owners the same caliber of operational visibility a corporate restaurant GM has on day one, without the corporate price tag, and built around how barns actually work.
Every engagement is custom, but the architecture is consistent. We meet you where you are — no rebuilding your data from scratch, no rip-and-replace.
We sit down with you — and ideally your barn manager — and map how money actually flows through your operation today.
We design a low-friction way to get your existing records into one structured place. No data rebuilds. We meet you where you are.
You get a dashboard built to your board tiers, your add-on services, your facility layout. Not a generic template.
Underneath the dashboard sits a properly structured database. Clean, queryable, and ready to scale with you.
We don't disappear after launch. Your team gets trained, and we stay available as your operation evolves.
You've grown past the trusted-spreadsheet stage. Vacant stalls, add-on billing, and quiet boarder churn are starting to cost real money — and you don't have time to track it all manually.
Multiple revenue streams — board, training, lessons, hauling, clinics — all running in parallel. You need one view that tells you which streams are paying for themselves and which aren't.
Entries, hauling, splits, sponsorships, billing across an entire competitive season. Spreadsheets buckle under it. We build the system that doesn't.
Under 10 stalls or running a complex multi-discipline operation? A profitability audit is usually a better starting point than a custom build. We'll be honest about what fits.
Our focus is horse country — but the operational physics is the same across a lot of local businesses. Recurring customers, perishable inventory, shift labor, billing complexity, vacant capacity. If you run a farrier service, a farm, a restaurant, a hardware store, or any small operation drowning in spreadsheets, the conversation still applies. We've worked across these spaces and the patterns repeat.
Reach out and tell us what you're working on. If we're a fit, we'll show you exactly how — straight answers, no hard sell.
Start the conversation →Lucrum is based in Sacramento, California. We serve boarding, training, and show barns across the Sacramento Valley and Sierra Foothills — the densest horse industry pocket in the western U.S.
First conversations happen at your barn, on your aisle, with your numbers in front of us. Not a Zoom call with a stranger in another state.
The first conversation is free and usually takes 30 minutes. Tell us a bit about your operation and what you'd like to get a clearer view of. We'll reach out to set up a visit or a call — whichever works best for you.
