Lumina ERP automates the work inside the ERP, and Lumina Leads gives the sales team one workspace to act on it. Two products on one data spine, built by an operator who runs a distribution ERP every day.

Model
Services → SaaS

Every order a person re-keys and every follow-up a rep forgets is margin a distributor never sees. We give that margin back.

01The problem

Distributors run on two halves that don’t talk.

The ERP knows what every customer buys and when. The sales team works from inboxes, spreadsheets and a CRM that can’t see any of it. People carry the data between them by hand.

The back office re-keys

  • Orders arrive as email, PDF and phone calls and are typed into the ERP line by line.
  • Reorder points are static guesses set years ago and rarely revisited.
  • Answers need a report writer. Simple questions wait on SQL or an export.

The sales floor guesses

  • Lapsed buyers go unnoticed until the quarter is already short.
  • Quote follow-ups slip because the reminder lives in someone’s head.
  • Horizontal CRMs don’t speak distribution: branches, bill-to and ship-to, price tiers, reorder cadence.

Epicor’s final on-premise Prophet 21 release puts thousands of mid-market distributors in front of a platform decision over the next 12 to 18 months. Every one of them has to re-examine how orders, data and sales work. That is our opening.

02The platform

One spine. Two products.

We connect to the ERP a distributor already runs, automate the manual work inside it, and hand the sales team a workspace that acts on what the ERP knows.

Lumina for ERP
Building on P21

AI automation that plugs into Prophet 21 today and other distribution ERPs next, over SQL and REST.

  • Order intake. Emailed and PDF purchase orders become sales order drafts matched to items and prices.
  • Demand and anomaly signals learned from the distributor’s own transaction history.
  • Plain-English questions answered against live ERP data, no SQL required.
  • Integrator pipelines that keep ERP, ecommerce and warehouse systems in sync.
SyncOps order telemetry is live across 10,000+ SKUs.
Lumina Leads
Live · invite-only

The CRM and sales workspace for B2B teams that live on the phone and in email.

  • Today queue that tells every rep who to call next, and why.
  • Browser and Android calling with do-not-contact enforced before every dial.
  • AI drafting grounded in the record, approved by a person, sent from Gmail.
  • Industry blueprints for distribution and manufacturing: pipelines, fields, templates and roles.

Ask the ERP. Get the answer, not a report.

Distributors wait days for a report writer to answer simple questions. Lumina answers in plain English, shows its work and hands the result to the people who act on it.

Scripted walkthrough on a fictional distributor. Lumina for ERP is in development; this shows the experience we are building toward Prophet 21.

03Lumina Leads

Know who to call next, and why.

A single workspace from first touch to purchase order. Scroll through a rep’s day.

  1. 01 · Today

    Every rep starts the day knowing who to call, and why.

    Today pulls mine plus unassigned work into one queue, grouped by urgency, with the evidence behind each item. Website forms, missed calls, voicemail and texts all land here as owned tasks with a first-response clock.

    Urgency groupsWhy-now evidenceResponse SLA
  2. 02 · Call

    Calling from the browser, with the rules enforced before the dial.

    Reps call and take calls in the browser or on Android. Every dial passes a preflight: do-not-contact lists, account blocks and line checks run on the server, not on trust. The call ends in a disposition that schedules the next step.

    Browser + AndroidDo-not-contact enforcedDispositions
  3. 03 · Draft

    AI drafts the follow-up. A person approves every send.

    Drafts are grounded in the record: the quote, the last conversation, the account history. Nothing leaves without review. Sends go out from the rep’s own Gmail with visible queued, sending and sent states.

    Grounded draftsHuman approvalGmail sending
  4. 04 · Insights

    Managers see coverage, response time and data health at a glance.

    Insights and Data health show what the team touched, what slipped, and where the records need attention, so the pipeline stays honest without a spreadsheet on the side.

Where it compounds

ERP signals drive sales action.

Horizontal CRMs can’t see the ERP. ERP vendors don’t build for the sales floor. Owning both sides lets us close a loop nobody else can.

ERP signal

Reorder cadence breaks

A regular buyer who orders every 14 days has gone 41 days without a PO.

last_order: 41d · cadence: 14d

Signal becomes a task

A win-back item lands in the owning rep’s Today queue with the order history attached.

Rep acts in one place

Call from the record, then approve an AI-drafted follow-up grounded in what they used to buy.

The PO comes back

The next order closes the loop and trains the next signal.

Roadmap: ERP-to-Leads signals are in development. Lumina Leads ships distribution fields such as last order date and reorder cadence today.

06Market

Start with Prophet 21. Expand to every distributor.

Wedge: Prophet 21 distributors

We operate P21 daily, so we speak its schema, business rules and workflows. The May 2028 end of on-premise releases forces a decision now.

Expand: every distribution ERP

The platform is ERP-agnostic by design, connecting over SQL and REST, and Lumina Leads works with or without an ERP connection.

Beyond: B2B sales teams

Leads already ships blueprints for manufacturing alongside distribution, with the same calling, drafting and compliance core.
