Lumina Intelligence is an insights service, specialising in producing food and drink trends reports for suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, and foodservice outlets to provide must-have views of food and nutrition markets.
One of Lumina’s most popular reads is its annual Wholesale Online Report, which they work in partnership with b2b.store to produce as part of a long-standing commercial agreement.
Lumina accesses data from our portfolio of B2B eCommerce platforms and WhatsApp Business API channels to take a snapshot of digital usage in the industry and understand how customers are engaging in the online space.
Alongside providing live data for the creation of the report, b2b.store supports Lumina with its content team to provide future-gazing insights on topics such as AI adoption, online advertising, and WhatsApp developments. We carry out research and interviews, and have written sections of the report to add extra depth to Lumina’s report.
Once produced, the Lumina Intelligence Wholesale Online Report is bought and used throughout the year by leading suppliers and wholesalers.

When creating the report, Lumina and b2b.store are in regular contact to ensure progress is being made towards completion. We assign a consistent point of contact to work with who oversees the project from our side, and joins Lumina’s data insight experts up with our developers, content creators and other members of the team as necessary. Once a new report has been published, the teams will convene to make initial plans for the following report in order to ensure data is gathered for any new reads well in advance.
Many of the digital services b2b.store provides gathers data, so we have access to a wide range of figures that can be explored to identify trends. This is a valuable tool and is reviewed with the team at Lumina Intelligence each year to identify which reads could add even more to the next report. All data is aggregated so no individual customer data is revealed.
Our content team produces output for many of our customers, so we’re able to support with editorial services when needed. Over the course of the past five years, this has taken various forms, whether it’s proofreading the final report, writing slides that focus on future trends or best practice, or carrying out and writing up interviews.
