About Pivlu — Company

The story behind Pivlu

It started with a website. In 2020, Gabriel Chimilevschi — the founder, architect, and sole developer behind Pivlu — began building a custom website builder from scratch. Not a drag-and-drop toy, but a genuinely powerful platform capable of handling multilingual content, custom post types, booking systems, and full e-commerce.

One tool became two. Two became five. Today, Pivlu is a complete business suite covering website builder, online store, booking system, team workspaces, CRM, web analytics, knowledge base, community forum, live chat, AI writing tools, and more — all included in one subscription, at one price.

Built by a developer, for real businesses

Gabriel Chimilevschi is a senior full-stack Laravel developer and SaaS architect with years of experience building complex, production-grade web applications. Every architectural decision in Pivlu — from the multi-tenant infrastructure to the unified orders system that connects commerce and bookings — was made with one goal: build the platform he would actually want to use himself.

"You know you've built something truly great when you choose to use your own app over the established ones."

Pivlu runs on Pivlu. The website you are reading was built with the Pivlu website builder. The team uses Pivlu Workspaces. The knowledge base, the blog, the analytics — all Pivlu. That is not a marketing claim. It is the highest standard of quality we hold ourselves to.

Why we built this

The alternatives exist. Zoho, Odoo, Bitrix24, Salesforce — these are serious platforms built by large teams with significant resources. We respect them. But for the vast majority of small and medium businesses, they are either too complex, too expensive, too fragmented, or simply not designed with the user in mind.

Most businesses end up paying for Wix for the website, Calendly for bookings, Shopify for the store, Slack for communication, HubSpot for the CRM, and Google Analytics for data — and none of these tools talk to each other properly. You spend more time managing your tools than running your business.

Pivlu was built to change that. One platform. One login. One price. Everything connected from day one.

Who it's for

We are not trying to be the biggest platform in the world. We are trying to be the right one — for the hotel owner who needs a website, a booking system, and a shop. For the agency managing multiple client projects from one dashboard. For the consultant who needs a CRM, a knowledge base, and a team workspace without enterprise pricing.

What makes Pivlu different

Everything included Every app is part of your subscription — no per-module fees, no surprise charges, no "upgrade to access that." When you sign up, you get everything from day one.

Built in Europe, for European standards GDPR compliance is not an afterthought — it is built into the architecture. Privacy-first analytics, cookie consent management, data export, and cascading data deletion are part of the platform, not paid add-ons.

Multilingual by design Every module supports multiple languages natively — not by translation plugin. Your website, products, documentation, and booking pages are all translatable from one place.

Created with our own tools The banners, OG images, and mockups on this website were all created using Pivlu Studio. From AI-generated articles to custom-designed visuals — everything you see was made with Pivlu.

This is just the beginning

Pivlu launched in 2026. We are new, and we are honest about that. There are no thousands of case studies yet, no decade of enterprise clients. What we have is a platform built with exceptional care, a clear architectural vision, and a genuine desire to help businesses replace the chaos of multiple subscriptions with one tool that simply works.
