If you're headed to DPW Amsterdam, we're ready to talk direct procurement.
We're the only AI-native platform built to handle direct materials from spec to scale.
Come find us at Stand 13 next to the stage.
What is Spec 2 Scale?
Most of a product's cost is set the moment it's designed. But getting from a great idea to a finished product is messy. We’re talking legacy ERP systems, emails, spreadsheets, and way too much guesswork.
Worst of all, direct procurement software is often grouped with indirect procurement tools. Sourcing office supplies is not like sourcing critical materials.
We built LightSource to change that.
We call it Spec to Scale.
It’s a new way to handle direct materials, from the first design spec to the final delivery. It’s about building with purpose, excelling at NPI, and scaling with confidence.
Want to see how it works? Let's meet up.
