The Challenge
Apex Manufacturing faced a critical bottleneck: their product-launch process was fragmented across 7 siloed departments, each using incompatible data systems. The result was an 18-month average time-to-market—nearly double the industry benchmark—and a growing backlog of $40M in stalled projects.
Our Approach
Lumina deployed a 5-day discovery sprint, interviewing 34 stakeholders and mapping 12 distinct data flows. Our Insight Engine synthesized findings into a unified innovation map, revealing three critical bottlenecks responsible for 78% of launch delays.
The Solution
We designed and implemented a cross-functional "Launch Command Center"—a real-time dashboard connecting R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, and sales. Custom integrations with SAP and Salesforce ensured zero-disruption data flow. A 2-day Innovation Workshop aligned leadership on a shared 90-day roadmap.
"Lumina turned our data chaos into a clear roadmap. We delivered three new products
in six months—something we hadn't achieved in a decade."
