Case Study: DesignLights Consortium achieves reliable, scalable QPL access and streamlined product verification with Ten24 Digital Solutions

DesignLights Consortium - Customer Case Study

DesignLights Consortium (DLC), a non-profit that maintains the world’s largest qualified product list (QPL) for high-performance LED and networked lighting products, faced a fragile legacy website that frequently crashed and lacked robust search and navigation for its 271,000+ products from more than 1,500 manufacturers. To modernize access and stabilize the service, DLC engaged Ten24 Digital Solutions and its Slatwall Commerce platform to rebuild the site.

Ten24 Digital Solutions delivered an eight‑month, two‑phase solution: a redesigned front end with powerful QPL search (10 complex filters, 50+ data points), comparison, save/share/download capabilities and a CMS, followed by an application management portal that lets manufacturers upload Excel submissions (with up to 12 supporting documents) and automates verification into the QPL. The result is a stable, faster site that no longer crashes, captures user accounts and contact data for better outreach, and streamlines the product submission-to-listing workflow—immediately improving access and usability for DLC’s stakeholders.
