Steering the Future of Transportation Learning: Luma Brighter Learning Ranks No. 2181 on the 2024 Inc. 5000
Learning technology company’s growth fueled by innovative solutions like new Luma Navigator platform
MOUNT PLEASANT, SC, AUGUST 13, 2024 – Inc. revealed today that Luma Brighter Learning ranks No. 2181 on the 2024 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. This marks Luma’s second consecutive year on the list, improving from its 2023 ranking of No. 2466.
The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Luma Brighter Learning’s ranking reflects its continued growth and innovation in the learning technology space, particularly within the trucking and transportation industry. The impact of Luma’s solutions is evident in their impressive 98% client retention rate.
“We’re honored to be recognized again on the Inc. 5000 list, and to see, despite a recession in our industry and companies holding back spending on new vendors, we continue to grow and improve our ranking,” said Dr. Gina Anderson, CEO and co-founder of Luma Brighter Learning. “Our growth is a testament to our team’s commitment to thoughtful innovation in learning technology. We’re not just growing for growth’s sake, but expanding our capabilities to better serve our clients and ultimately improve safety and performance in the transportation industry.”
Luma’s growth has been propelled by the introduction of cutting-edge learning solutions, including its latest offering, Luma Navigator. Launched in May 2024, this advanced, metric-driven technology platform allows organizations to deliver customized instruction and coaching plans tailored to individual learner needs.
“Luma Navigator represents the next evolution in organizational learning,” Dr. Anderson added. “By harnessing technology, data analytics, and learning science, we’re enabling companies to move beyond one-size-fits-all training to truly personalized educational experiences that drive behavior change and improve outcomes.”
Luma Brighter Learning’s innovative approach to learning technology has resonated strongly within the trucking and transportation sector, where effective training and education are crucial for safety and compliance. According to the American Transportation Research Institute, a truck driver with a reckless driving violation is 114% more likely to be involved in a crash, highlighting the critical need for innovative safety solutions in the industry.
Chris Henderly, United Road’s training manager, shares, “With Luma, we can use FMCSA data and company information to create a learning path to correct behavior. A structured program like Luma Navigator helps us use data to explore the best possible options for helping the learner succeed.”
The company’s solutions, including its eNugget Learning Management System and Luma Emerge program, are used by fleets and organizations of all sizes to deliver engaging, impactful learning experiences. Within just four weeks of launching Luma Navigator, 15 of Luma’s top 30 enterprise clients opted to implement the technology, demonstrating its rapid adoption and perceived value in the industry.
