“One of the biggest differences when starting a project from scratch versus relaunching it from the archive in LightSource is the fact that all the product specification data, all the vendor contact information, is readily available in the platform. It eliminates the risk of losing the data two to three years down the road when you're revisiting the project.”

“Once you complete the project, it will go in the archive, and the next time when you have to relaunch, it's just a click away.”
“LightSource has given us the ability to get seven figures of cost savings out of our spend. It's been a great tool to gain efficiencies and drive cost savings.”
