Italian term or phrase: abbiamo dato ordine a un percorso
Introduction to a catalogue of lighting products:

Oggi abbiamo dato ordine a un percorso lungo venti cinque anni di cui sono sempre piacevolmente sorpreso.

This is a catalogue of all products produced over the years by a lighting company. I initially put "we have now brought order to a journey..." but I'm looking for another way, using a different verb that is perhaps less negative (seems like before there was chaos). Any suggestions? Thanks.

Explanation:
perhaps closer to target culture but admittedly ignoring the inference of 'bringing order'
