illumiNET: Lighting Showroom Software Built on NetSuite
Stop Running Your Showroom on Spreadsheets and Workarounds
Running a lighting showroom is complex—vendor catalogs change constantly, product attributes are messy, orders come from every channel, and margins can disappear fast. When your data lives in disconnected systems, it takes too long to answer basic questions (What’s in stock? What’s the real margin? What should we buy—and when?).
illumiNET gives you one connected system—built for how lighting businesses actually operate—so you can run faster, with clearer visibility, and make decisions with confidence.
The Problem: Lighting Operations Outgrow Generic Software
If you’re managing any of the following, you’ve felt the pain:
- Vendor integrations and frequent pricing updates that create constant rework
- Complex product attributes (finishes, styles, bulbs, collections, vendor variations) that don’t fit cleanly in basic systems
- Multi-channel selling (showroom, designer, B2B, eCommerce, quoted orders) that creates duplicate entry and conflicting data
- Freight and fulfillment complexity where landed cost and timelines matter
The result is familiar: slower quoting, messy inventory, missed purchasing opportunities, and limited visibility into what’s really happening in the business.
Meet Your Guide: Zastro + illumiNET
illumiNET is developed by Zastro and built directly on NetSuite, the leading cloud-based ERP platform. Instead of forcing a generic ERP to fit lighting, illumiNET adds the industry-specific structure, workflows, and integrations lighting teams need—without relying on spreadsheets or manual workarounds.
The Plan: One System, Built for Lighting
1) Start with a proven cloud ERP foundation (NetSuite)
NetSuite provides a unified ecosystem across key business functions—so your financials, inventory, sales, purchasing, and reporting live together in one platform.
2) Add lighting-specific structure with illumiNET
illumiNET brings a lighting-specific data model, preconfigured workflows, and integrations designed for lighting catalogs and processes.
3) Operate with real-time visibility and control
When everything runs in one system, you reduce overhead, speed up quoting and order processing, and gain cleaner financial and operational data for better decisions.
Learn How Zastro Helped Pace Lighting
After growing more than 4x, Savannah-based Pace Lighting had outgrown its old business software, relying on spreadsheets and workarounds for everything from accounting to order processing. The company partnered with Zastro to implement IllumiNET, a customized version of NetSuite built specifically for the lighting industry.
The results were dramatic: purchase order time dropped 60%, accounting tasks sped up 40%, and sales order creation became 80% faster through an integration with catalog company LightsAmerica—accelerating fulfillment by up to two days. Today, Pace runs its entire operation on one unified platform, delivering big-business efficiency with small-business service.
