Case Study: Lightspeed reduces onboarding time and improves API governance with Postman

Lightspeed Reduces Onboarding Time and Solidifies API Governance with Postman

Lightspeed Commerce, a cloud-based point of sale platform for retail and hospitality, wanted to move to an API-first approach but faced inconsistent API tooling, standards, and processes across teams. Its Hospitality team, which works heavily with external partners, needed a faster way to develop APIs, improve quality, and make developer onboarding more consistent. Postman was the platform they used to help address these challenges.

With Postman Collections as a single source of truth for internal, partner, and public APIs, Lightspeed improved collaboration, testing, documentation, and governance across the API lifecycle. The company reported 20% faster developer onboarding, a 30% improvement in testing and QA times, and stronger API reliability through centralized governance.
