NUORDER BY LIGHTSPEED INTRODUCES "ORDER TRENDS"; A POWERFUL NEW TOOL DESIGNED TO BRING INSIGHTS TO WHOLESALE BUYING

NuORDER by Lightspeed Commerce Inc. has launched Order Trends, a cutting-edge feature that delivers visibility into top-performing products, categories, colours and size curves -- right within the NuORDER shopping experience. This innovation empowers retailers and buyers to make smarter assortment decisions, while helping brands drive product visibility, conversion and revenue.

By surfacing aggregated data from submitted United States-dollar orders across the platform, the new features reveal what top-performing products other retailers are buying -- including details like category, size and colour -- making it easier for buyers to stock confidently, discover new styles and reduce risk. This gives buyers a competitive advantage: the ability to back purchases with real-world performance insights rather than relying on gut instinct alone.

Early results already demonstrate its value: in 76 days, participating brands saw approximately a 10-per-cent increase in average order value (AOV). These results reinforce NuORDER's leadership in ushering in a new era of insight-led commerce, where decisions are powered by data, not guesswork.

"Order Trends brings the 'science' to the art of buying," said Chris Akrimi, general manager of B2B (business-to-business) at NuORDER by Lightspeed. "By giving both brands and retailers insight into what's selling across our B2B platform, we're making wholesale buying more intelligent, more efficient and more profitable."

The launch of Order Trends reflects NuORDER's continued commitment to wholesale technology innovation -- and comes at a time when retailers are actively seeking better ways to work, sell and grow. According to Lightspeed's recent Retail Sentiment Survey, 49.6 per cent of retailers say they want to reduce the manual work required to access reports and insights. Meanwhile, 48.8 per cent are looking for better visibility into what areas of their business can be optimized. Retailers currently spend an average of 20 hours per week ordering and restocking products, making the need for time-saving tools and intelligent workflows more urgent than ever. According to NuORDER's recent buyer preference survey, 68 per cent of retailers use intuition/past experience to plan what inventory to buy, where Order Trends can now give them data-driven insights allowing them to optimize and make purchasing decisions more confidently.

In fact, the Lightspeed Retail Sentiment Survey further revealed that 36.6 per cent of retailers want to improve how they discover and add new types of products they do not currently stock -- underscoring the demand for more data-informed, exploratory buying.

"It's not just about smarter buying -- it's about faster buying too," said Mr. Akrimi. "As retailers navigate crowded marketplaces, Order Trends helps reduce decision fatigue and streamline workflows. High performing products are highlighted during the shopping journey, allowing buyers to quickly identify what's working and curate assortments in less time. That confidence translates into action, accelerating sell-in, driving higher sell-through and saving retailers valuable hours each week."

For wholesaling brands, the benefits are equally powerful. Order Trends automatically amplifies top-selling SKUs (stock-keeping units), driving greater exposure and reducing time spent on product education or back-and-forth communication. As buyers make faster, more confident decisions, brands benefit from quicker conversions and stronger alignment with market demand. They also gain access to rich, actionable trend insights that can inform product strategy, marketing and sales conversations.

And the value does not stop at the individual brand or buyer level. A total of 47.7 per cent of retailers surveyed say they want to expand their customer reach and discover new growth opportunities as a long-term goal. Order Trends helps facilitate those connections-giving retailers confidence to explore new merchandising possibilities, and brands the visibility they need to reach high-intent buyers at scale.

Order Trends is currently available to NuORDER buyers submitting orders in U.S. dollars, with expansion to other currencies planned in future updates.
