LightSource

LightSource is the only AI-native operating system for direct materials sourcing, purpose-built for innovative companies. Most manufacturers run sourcing on email, Excel, and tools never built for direct materials or NPI velocity. By the time procurement gets involved, most product cost is already locked in. LightSource fixes both. It connects engineering, procurement, and suppliers from first spec to award in one system, so cost decisions are made when they still matter and companies win on speed. Bids are normalized on arrival. Every decision is backed by data.
