Lumari for Advanced Manufacturing

Procurement that keeps pace with the factory.

Lumari keeps sourcing and order work moving through engineering changes, new programs, and production ramps—across email, spreadsheets, PLM, and ERP.

A modern advanced-manufacturing floor with CNC equipment, precision components, and a collaborative robotic arm
High-mix production depends on decisions moving as quickly as the build.

Before and after Lumari

Manual procurement slows the factory.

See what changes before and after Lumari—and the result for the team.

Before Lumari

Questions

How Lumari works in advanced manufacturing

Does Lumari replace our ERP or PLM?

No. Lumari operates across the systems your team already uses and keeps the relevant procurement records current. Your ERP and PLM remain the systems of record.

Do suppliers need to join a portal?

No. Suppliers can continue responding through email and the file formats they already use. Lumari extracts and organizes the information behind the scenes.

Can Lumari support new product introduction?

Yes. Lumari can coordinate multi-supplier sourcing, revision context, quote analysis, approvals, and purchase-order execution for fast-moving NPI programs.

What direct procurement work can Lumari automate?

Lumari can coordinate RFQs, supplier follow-up, quote normalization, approvals, purchase-order execution, acknowledgements, delivery updates, and exception escalation according to the team’s operating rules.

How are exceptions handled?

Teams define which discrepancies, delays, substitutions, and commercial changes require review. Lumari routes those exceptions to the right owner with the underlying supplier and system context attached.

Can workflows differ by plant or business unit?

Yes. Procedures, approval paths, supplier communication, and escalation rules can reflect the operating model of each plant, category, program, or business unit.
