If you're an ecommerce brand that has seen fast growth, you've likely hit a point where your tech can't keep up. The allure of a big, powerful ERP system like NetSuite seems like the logical next step, but this decision can be a costly mistake.

This is a problem Luminous was built to solve.

The Ecommerce Tech Dilemma

‍

Many ecommerce companies start with a simple setup: an order management system like ShipStation and some Google Sheets. This works fine when you have one or two products and a single fulfillment warehouse, but as your brand grows, this simple system can't handle the rising complexity. This is under-implementing your tech stack, and it creates a painful "critical mass" event where your business can no longer grow efficiently.

On the other hand, a company might feel this pain and decide to jump straight to a massive ERP like NetSuite. These systems are incredibly powerful and built for multi-billion dollar corporations, but they are often overkill for a fast-growing e-commerce brand. This is over-implementing, which can be just as deadly. It introduces unnecessary complexity and friction, with a six-figure implementation cost and sky-high monthly fees.

Luminous: The Right Tool for the Job

‍

Luminous was founded to fill this gap. We are the perfect solution for brands that have outgrown their initial tech stack but aren't ready for a full-scale ERP. Luminous is designed to be the bridge that handles your complexity without the unnecessary cost and friction.

Here’s how Luminous helps you avoid the common pitfalls:

• Financial Sanity: We offer transparent pricing that scales with your business, without the hidden fees and multi-year contracts of enterprise-level systems. You pay for what you need, not for what a massive corporation might need.
• Seamless Integration: Luminous works on top of your existing tech, like ShipStation, so you don't have to rip out the tools you already use. Our implementation is designed to be a smooth, step-by-step process that gets you to a fully integrated system quickly.
• Purpose-Built for Ecommerce: We are specifically designed to handle the complexities of a modern e-commerce business—from multi-channel sales and multi-warehouse management to inventory forecasting, landed costs, and wholesale management. We give you the power of a big ERP without the bloated, clunky user interface.

Your business deserves a system that understands its unique journey. Don't let under-implementing stifle your growth, and don't let over-implementing kill your company.
