As the global lighting market leader, Signify is always looking for ways to better serve their customers. That’s why Signify recently launched LumXpert, an innovative app designed specifically for electricians and installers in the lighting industry. The app offers a wide range of features, including purchasing lighting products directly from wholesalers, creating lighting designs and quotes, and managing projects. LumXpert helps professionals do their jobs more efficiently and quickly, with access to up-to-date product information, pricing and availability, as well as customer support and flexible payment options.
In the lighting industry, there is not yet a platform like LumXpert that brings all these functionalities together in a single solution. This presents a number of technical challenges, as many of the required functionalities require integrations with existing platforms or the development of completely new systems. In addition, LumXpert must integrate seamlessly with the systems of various vendors to ensure smooth operation and reliable data exchange.
LumXpert was developed to address these issues by providing an easy-to-use app that brings together products from Signify’s brands, such as Philips and Interact, in one place. The app’s front-end was built with Flutter, which enables rapid development and consistent branding on both mobile and web. The back-end is developed with Java Spring Boot, which provides a scalable and robust architecture that supports seamless integrations with payment providers, an e-commerce platform, and other systems. This allows electricians and installers to easily compare prices, take advantage of special offers, and always receive their full order thanks to Signify’s backfill option.
Since its launch in Spain and the United Kingdom, LumXpert has been installed tens of thousands of times. The choice of Flutter has ensured high development speed, especially when the app became available on web as well. Java Spring Boot provides a stable and flexible back-end. Users praise the app for its improved efficiency and ease of purchasing products, while the technical infrastructure ensures that LumXpert remains reliable and scalable as the user base grows.
