Hear what our clients have to say
From exceptional customer service to trusted, accessible insights—there are countless reasons to choose Lumina Intelligence.
“Working with Lumina has been incredibly helpful for us. We’re on a journey with our retailers, undertaking projects focused on the future of forecourts. One of our challenges is that we’re not particularly data-rich when it comes to the insights we receive from retailers. That’s where Lumina plays a critical role—filling in those gaps.”
Kyle Sexton
Category Manager, Red Bull

Helping me answer the ‘Why?’ and ‘So What?’ questions are fundamentals in our business and the customer success team allow me to get under the skin of key data points to help me make more informed decisions, often answering questions I had never thought of.”
