How The Best AI-native Products Get Built: The Case For Customer Co-Design
Every product team knows the standard workflow from discovery to launch. There is a roadmap, a backlog, feature scoring, prioritized delivery, and a sprint cycle that keeps everything moving. It is a proven model, and for most software categories, it works well enough.But building an AI-native ERP, like LanternBRP™, is a fundamentally different challenge. The more deeply a product is meant to integrate into how a business actually runs, the less useful it is to build it from the outside looking in. Real operational intelligence requires real operational input.This is something we discovered early and deliberately leaned into. At Lantern, we don't just deploy LanternBRP™ to our enterprise partners, we co-design with them.
