About LightSource

LightSource Labs Inc. is an AI-native software platform purpose-built for direct materials procurement, covering the full sourcing lifecycle from new product introduction (NPI) through end-of-life (EOL) — what the company calls "spec to scale." The platform automates BOM ingestion, RFX creation, bid normalization, should-cost modeling, and supplier collaboration, serving Global 2000 and Fortune 500 manufacturers. It is designed to function as an AI-native operating system layered on top of existing ERP systems such as SAP and Oracle.
