We are delighted to announce that LUMESO, a dynamic young software company, has been awarded the prestigious German Innovation Award in two significant categories: “Excellence in B2B” and “Transformative Solutions.” This dual recognition underscores the profound impact and innovative nature of LUMESO’s AI-powered solution, designed to revolutionise internal sales processes within industrial settings.
At the heart of LUMESO’s offering lies an intelligent system that automates the often tedious and time-consuming task of order data entry. Historically, this crucial step in the sales workflow has relied heavily on manual transcription from various formats, including emails, PDFs, and even hand-drawn specifications. LUMESO’s AI solution effectively eliminates this bottleneck, significantly simplifying and accelerating the entire process.
Beyond mere efficiency gains, LUMESO’s technology plays a vital role in enhancing job attractiveness. By automating monotonous data-entry tasks, the software frees up valuable employee time, allowing teams to focus on more strategic, value-adding activities. This not only improves productivity but also cultivates a more engaging and fulfilling work environment, particularly appealing to young professionals who are digitally adept and seek to leverage modern technologies in their roles.
This innovation is particularly relevant in the current European industrial landscape. Many companies are facing a structural shortage of skilled workers while simultaneously striving to increase production efficiency and sustainability. LUMESO directly addresses these challenges, empowering industries, particularly the flat glass sector, to bolster their competitiveness through sophisticated technology without necessitating costly or protracted IT infrastructure overhauls. 
Christian Kimmeswenger, CTO and Founder of LUMESO, highlights the solution’s adaptability and functionality: “Our software is designed with an advanced interface so that it is compatible with a wide range of ERP systems used in the flat glass industry. It automatically reads incoming order data, adds missing information through intelligent queries, and transfers everything in a structured format to the ERP system—once approved by the responsible employee. This boosts efficiency, relieves staff, and simultaneously provides a more modern, future-oriented work environment.”
Georg Katzlinger-Söllradl, CEO and Co-Founder of LUMESO, expressed his enthusiasm regarding the recognition: “The award of the German Innovation Award in two categories shows that the development of modern software with real impact for the industry is being recognised—and it seems more important than ever for Europe.” He further noted that well-established flat glass processors are already leveraging the solution to achieve tangible benefits, including shortened lead times, the elimination of transmission errors, and enhanced operational reliability in their daily operations.
The German Innovation Award serves as a powerful validation of LUMESO’s vision and execution. It highlights the critical need for innovative, technology-driven solutions that not only streamline processes but also empower employees and strengthen the competitiveness of vital European industries. LUMESO’s success in securing these awards underscores their significant contribution to the ongoing digital transformation of the B2B sector.
