Lightspeed Commerce Inc. has rolled out a new centralized marketplace that lets retailers browse, compare, and purchase products from more than 4,000 brands in a single, integrated interface. Built on the NuORDER platform that Lightspeed acquired in 2021, the solution syncs directly with Lightspeed’s point‑of‑sale system, eliminating the need for merchants to log into separate brand portals.
The new experience delivers tangible operational gains: retailers can set up new merchandise in minutes, reduce manual data entry errors, and bring products to market faster. Early adopters report a 10% lift in average order value, a figure that mirrors the improvement seen with NuORDER’s Order Trends feature in previous pilots.
Strategically, the launch deepens Lightspeed’s wholesale footprint and creates a continuous, data‑driven loop between inventory planning and sales. By embedding wholesale ordering into day‑to‑day POS workflows, Lightspeed strengthens its competitive moat in the retail and hospitality verticals and positions itself as a unified commerce platform rather than a collection of siloed tools.
Management highlighted the broader vision: “We are closing the loop from supply to store to sale. Marketplace is the next evolution of our wholesale network. It connects brands and retailers to the right products at the right moment and helps them buy and sell smarter within a unified retail ecosystem.” The move follows the company’s January 9 launch of Lightspeed AI, underscoring a broader strategy to leverage technology for operational efficiency and data‑driven decision making.
The new marketplace is expected to increase customer stickiness by embedding wholesale ordering into everyday operations, thereby driving higher transaction volumes and reinforcing Lightspeed’s position as a one‑stop solution for merchants in the retail and hospitality sectors.
