Lightspeed Commerce Inc.

Lightspeed Commerce Inc. is a global technology company headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, that provides an omni-channel commerce-enabling SaaS platform. Founded in 2005, its mission is to empower businesses at the heart of communities by helping ambitious retail, golf, and hospitality entrepreneurs accelerate growth, deliver exceptional customer experiences, and operate more efficiently.

The company offers a unified point of sale (POS) and payments platform, alongside a comprehensive suite of cloud-based commerce solutions. These include e-commerce capabilities, inventory management, analytics tools, customer loyalty programs, financial services (Lightspeed Capital), staff and supplier management, and an exclusive wholesale retail network (NuORDER). Lightspeed serves small and medium-sized businesses across more than 100 countries, primarily within the retail, hospitality, and golf industries.

Dax Dasilva, the company's founder, was reappointed as CEO on February 15, 2024. In a notable strategic move on April 29, 2026, Lightspeed announced the divestiture of its non-core Upserve U.S. hospitality product line to Skyview Equity for up to $81 million USD, aiming to streamline its portfolio and concentrate on core growth engines: retail in North America and hospitality in Europe. The company has also recently introduced AI-powered automation for inventory entry and a new multi-brand shopping and ordering experience within its NuORDER Marketplace.
