Lightspeed NuORDER: Meet the new generation of our wholesale network

We are thrilled to announce the newest generation of our wholesale network: Lightspeed NuORDER. Since NuORDER was acquired by Lightspeed in 2021, we’ve been tirelessly innovating behind the scenes to combine our respective strengths in wholesale and retail commerce. Fast forward to today: NuORDER now facilitates a staggering $96 billion in transactions across 4,000+ brands and 500,000+ buyers.

Along the way, we have helped our wonderful clients elevate their wholesale — including Rag & Bone, Carhartt, Purple Brand, 7 For All Mankind, SPANX, Jonathan Adler, Timex, and many more. We also helped Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Brunello Cucinelli, David Jones, and Macy's build smarter assortments, and supported sales teams and buyers worldwide with a steady stream of product releases to optimize their workflows.

As we integrate our strengths under Lightspeed NuORDER, we are pioneering the way we connect brands and retailers under one network.

A note from NuORDER GM of B2B Chris Akrimi

Introducing Lightspeed NuORDER: The evolution of wholesale is here

Wholesale is evolving, and we are shaping its future.

For decades, wholesale has been a powerful revenue driver. Now, brands and retailers need stability, predictability, and seamless connections. Yet, the industry is missing a critical ingredient: clean, reliable data and insights that both sides can trust.

That’s why we’re excited to launch Lightspeed NuORDER—the next generation of our wholesale network.

📍 Why Now?

The retail landscape in front of us is changing at a rapid pace and we have a front row seat: Specialty boutiques and department stores are blending curation with AI-powered insights to captivate consumers. Brands are laser-focused on optimizing their inventory, margins and partnerships. But outdated systems and manual admin continue to cost time and money—challenges I’ve seen firsthand over 25+ years in fashion, wholesale, retail, B2B SaaS and marketplaces.

💡 The Lightspeed NuORDER Vision

Our vision with Lightspeed NuORDER is to create the first-ever truly symbiotic network between wholesale commerce and retail point-of-sale. Today, it’s a reality. With 4,000+ brands and 500,000+ buyers, our vibrant network is expanding, helping forge meaningful connections, unlock new customers and drive scalable revenue.

❓ What’s Changing?

NuORDER remains the platform that brands and retailers worldwide trust—facilitating $98B in transactions and counting. Now, under the Lightspeed NuORDER umbrella, we’re doubling down on innovation to:

• Bridge the gap between wholesale and retail with a data-driven, networked experience
• Expand our global Marketplace offering, driving even more connections and increased revenue between vetted brands and buyers
• Integrate with Lightspeed POS & Payments for a frictionless, end-to-end commerce solution
  
  

Our brand new 2025 State of B2B Commerce Report underscores why we need an evolution: wholesale isn’t just about growth—it’s a strategic profitability lever. The ability to make smarter decisions on product mix, pricing and assortments is critical in today’s volatile market.
