Luminous vs
Extensiv
Outdated software from decades ago that was purchased by a conglomerate and put on life support… or software built recently by modern ecommerce operators who know your journey.

How extensive
is Extensiv?
Not extensive, it turns out. It’s actually a group of old products acquired by a growth equity firm. These products were great in the 2000s and 2010s, but their founders are long gone. What’s left is a legacy product that’s getting squeezed for what little juice is left. Luminous, on the other hand, is a modern solution built for how ecommerce works today.
Handling unique workflows and business models
Once you go beyond the basics, Extensiv starts to break down. There is no good way to mark items for presells. Forecasting for subscriptions is impossible. Handling any complex ecommerce flow generally breaks it. Luminous enables seamless accounting for subscription orders, manages true allocated inventory, and does all the forecasting you need.
Scaling into
wholesale + EDI
When it’s time to scale your business into big box or specialty stores, Luminous is ready with its B2B portal and embedded EDI. It handles your whole journey from garage to growth. Extensiv, however, lacks the features to help you handle wholesale and EDI as you grow. Would you rather have a system that supports your growth or have to switch systems down the road?
Simple features with little to no support
If you’re a simple ecommerce company with very basic workflows, maybe Exstensiv will work. But the modern world is complex, and chances are your operations are complex too. Luminous is not only set up for these complexities but provides free, speedy support to help you through them. Extensiv’s support is a ghost town…but what did you expect from a growth equity firm operating an ecommerce software company?
