Jared says, “we get in line with how e-commerce companies implement tools and what I mean by that is, we don't say, here's luminous, fit all of it in here. We instead say, what is going to work best for you? We have a purchase order tool and an inventory and a warehouse management tool. There is a B2B portal and an invoicing tool. And we can also connect to any tool that you currently use.”
