The Business Need

Support the Complexity. Keep the Experience Simple.

Every ITA client brings different audiences, branding, rewards, and program requirements. Supporting those differences across hundreds of storefronts requires flexibility behind the scenes and simplicity for participants.

ITA needed a commerce foundation that could grow with its business, supported by a partner who could understand its priorities, take ownership, and help identify what should come next.

The Approach

Learn the Business. Bring Ideas. Build Together.

Luminos helped ITA establish a shared commerce foundation that supports distinct program experiences without starting over for every client.

Over time, that work developed into a close collaboration across ITA’s business and technology teams. Working directly with the people responsible for the participant experience and daily operations gives Luminos the context to ask better questions, anticipate downstream impacts, and bring forward practical recommendations.

ITA challenged Luminos to help “look around the corner.” That meant contributing ideas beyond the immediate backlog, sharing lessons from other clients, and connecting technology decisions to business goals.

Together, the teams have focused on making rewards easier to discover and redeem, simplifying how ITA manages its programs, and keeping the underlying technology reliable. Luminos brings development, UX, and technology leadership into those conversations as needed, helping ITA assess opportunities and decide where to invest.

That partnership also creates room to explore. From new applications of AI to improvements in the participant journey, the teams share what they’re learning and build on each other’s expertise.

The Outcome

A Stronger Experience. A Partnership That Keeps Evolving.

Today, ITA’s commerce ecosystem supports 480+ storefronts across 300+ programs and 45+ enterprise clients.

By May 2026, ITA reported conversion exceeding 18%, up from 14% at launch, crediting cumulative optimization efforts that included Luminos’s UX recommendations and ITA’s ongoing experimentation.

Years of working together have given Luminos a deep understanding of ITA’s business, its technology, and the people who use it. That familiarity helps the teams build on what’s working, challenge assumptions, and make thoughtful decisions about what comes next.
