Luminous WMS: Tailored for Modern Ecommerce Needs
Running an ecommerce business today means juggling multiple fulfillment methods, warehouses, and processes. The Luminous Warehouse Management System (WMS) simplifies these operations. Here's a breakdown of the eight key workflows of Luminous’ WMS to help you decide if it's the right fit for your business.
Built for Multi-Warehouse Management
Luminous WMS is designed to support modern e-commerce operations, including multi-warehouse setups. Whether you're using Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), third-party logistics (3PL), or handling in-house fulfillment, Luminous brings all of these under one system. See more on multi-warehouse management.
Easy Setup of Warehouse Groups, Warehouses, and Bins
Setting up your warehouse infrastructure can be daunting, but Luminous makes it simple. With the flexibility to structure warehouse groups, individual warehouses, and bins, you can make sure your orders are routed to the right places. The Luminous team works with you during implementation to get every detail set up correctly, so you can actually use it from day one.
Seamless Integration with Your Existing Order Management System (OMS)
If you're already using an Order Management System (OMS) like ShipStation, ShippingEasy, or Pirate Ship, Luminous won’t force you to change what’s already working. Instead, it sits on top of your existing OMS, adding capabilities while you keep using the tools you love. Because it works with your existing tech, Luminous can get you to value faster. See how the ShipStation integration works.
Flexible Pick, Pack, and Ship Flows
Luminous offers a flexible pick, pack, and ship process. You can filter sales orders however you want to generate pick lists, run them through a packing flow, and verify them with quality control before shipping.
Auto Depletion of Bins and Lots
For businesses that prefer a more hands-off approach, Luminous offers auto depletion. This feature automatically deducts inventory from specific bins and lots using FIFO (First In, First Out) or LIFO (Last In, First Out) logic. It’s a good fit for brands that don't want to run a pick and pack flow.
Customizable Complexity in Warehouse Management
Luminous gives you the flexibility to choose how complex or simple your warehouse management processes are. You can go with the simplest method, auto depletion, or adopt the most complex pick-and-pack processes, or anything in between. Use the features that help, and skip the ones that would add too much friction in your warehouse.
Cycle Counts and Transfer Orders Made Easy
Luminous simplifies routine warehouse tasks like cycle counts and transfer orders through its warehouse mobile app, which you enter with a scan. Cycle counts help you track bin accuracy over time, while transfer orders can be processed through simple scans or a more robust flow. Inbound shipments to Amazon also go through the transfer order flow.
Simple and Effective Lot Tracking
For brands that require traceability, Luminous offers easy-to-toggle lot tracking. Turn it on from your products page, then assign lots at three transaction points: assembly or work orders, the purchase of goods, and receiving. This gives you full traceability from start to finish.

Luminous WMS in Eight Flows
What does Luminous's WMS look like? Well, today I'm going to summarize our WMS through eight simple flows. Hopefully by the end of this video, you'll know whether or not Luminous's WMS is a good fit for you.
1. Architected for Modern E-commerce
Number one: architected for the flows of the modern e-commerce business. Look, to operate an e-commerce business nowadays, you need multi-warehouse management. All that means is that, nowadays, you're normally using FBA, you might be using a 3PL, and you might have a warehouse you're doing in-house fulfillment out of. Luminous can handle all of those seamlessly and get them into one system.
2. Easy Setup of Warehouse Groups, Warehouses and Bins
Number two: easy setup of your warehouse groups, warehouses and bins. The flexibility doesn't stop there. We dive in with you during implementation to make sure all of your warehouse groups, warehouses and bins are set up correctly so you can actually use them, orders are routed to the correct spots, and every single one of the intricate details is done correctly.
3. Integrating Your WMS With Your OMS
Number three: integrating your WMS with an OMS. What do I mean by that? Well, most brands trying to adopt a WMS are already using an OMS like ShipStation, ShippingEasy or Pirate Ship. Instead of forcing you to rip out that piece of tech that's already working for you, you can still enjoy the features you love in your OMS, and get even more by putting Luminous on top. We're one of the fastest WMSs at getting people to value, and it's because we sit on top of your existing tech.
4. Pick, Pack and Ship
Number four: pick, pack and ship. Luminous has a very flexible pick and pack flow that allows you to filter your sales orders however you want, run them into a pick list, run them into a packing flow, QC verify and ship.
5. Auto Depletion
Number five: auto depletion. Say you don't want to do pick and pack. No worries. We have plenty of brands that just prefer to auto-deplete from their bins. In fact, Luminous has best-in-class auto depletion of bins and lots. We can automate the logic that deducts from specific bins and from lots, FIFO or LIFO.
6. Flexibility Across a Spectrum of Complexity
Number six: flexibility on a spectrum of complexity in your warehouse management. Auto depletion is the simplest, and your most complex version of pick and pack is on the other side. Luminous can do either of those, or anything in the middle. Use the features you like. The ones that are going to add too much friction in your warehouse, don't use them.
7. Cycle Counts, Transfer Orders and More
Number seven: cycle counts, transfer orders and more. Take advantage of Luminous's warehouse mobile app, which you enter through a scan and which makes it dead simple to do things like cycle counts. Easily track the accuracy of your bins over time.
Take advantage of our transfer orders, either through simple transfers into a warehouse with a scan, or a much more robust transfer order flow. Inbound shipments to Amazon also go through our transfer order flow.
8. Lot Tracking
Number eight: lot tracking. Get full traceability through lot tracking. Just like every other feature in Luminous, lot tracking is dead simple to toggle on. You go to your products page and toggle it on for your products, and you're able to assign a lot at three different transaction points: number one, an assembly order or work order; number two, at the purchase of goods; and number three, when you receive something.
Built for Modern E-commerce
Overall, Luminous WMS was built for the flows of the modern e-commerce business. If you need to look at any one of these flows deeper than what I showed you today, book a demo with one of our sales reps, and we're happy to show you. Thanks, guys.
