LS Retail Reviews

“Best ERP for Retail sector

Pros

The best way for me to track my daily expenses and income in retail zones is through this software. It can handle large volumes of data and can be easily integrated with solutions like WhatsApp and payment gateways.

Cons

I found that it comes as a vertical software with Business Central rather than a standalone software.

“Best Retail Solutions

Pros

Microsoft Dynamics Navision and other ERP systems are easy to work with. I can configure any discount system to automate the cashiering process, including tender types, banks, discount coupons, gift vouchers, date and time-based discounts, quantity-based discounts and more.

Cons

Currently, there is no control over the length of the invoice number in the POS system. It is alphanumeric and exceeds 12 digits.

“Feedback for emerging ERP solution for retail industry

Pros

Setting up this software is simple and it's the best choice for the retail industry as it has almost all the necessary functionalities built-in. Upgrading to newer versions allows access to additional features.

Cons

Microsoft is transitioning to Business Central but LS Central has not fully migrated to this technology upgrade yet. The launch of the data migration toolkit will take some time.

“LS Retail Front and Back Office Review

Pros

LS Retail is the best in its retail operations and can be integrated with other enterprise resources. It is cloud-based and offers good POS management. Additionally, loyalty programs can be configured.

Cons

The support provided is mainly online and is more suitable for large companies. It is more expensive compared to other retail software options.

“LS Retail The Middle Market Retail POS Solution

Pros

I love the overall look and highly customizable features of this software. It can be integrated with almost any .NET or API-based solution. The mobile POS solution is quite simple and there is a mobile app for each module, such as retail, warehouse, inventory management, LS Pay and more. It integrates with all possible NAV updates of Microsoft Dynamics NAV from version 3.0 to 14.xx.

Cons

There are issues with coalition and Arabic languages. The software is costly due to its base on NAV. It would be beneficial to have a different billing solution for small-level shops.

“Good Product with Valuable Price

Pros

LS Retail software offers rich features and functionality and is stable because it's an add-on on top of Dynamics NAV/365 BC, which is strong in accounting. It can be easily configured with a good understanding of the system.

Cons

I have found the support team to be unhelpful and the product is quite expensive.

“The most powerful software

Pros

No matter what activities I need to perform, this software makes it easy. Cashiers can intuitively complete transactions while still providing advice to customers. Administrators can set up complex benefits for the sales process.

Cons

Sometimes, it can be challenging to find the most appropriate method to fulfill a specific task due to the various ways to achieve the required functionality.

“LS Retail Review

Pros

There is a wide range of features or options available for users.

Cons

Implementation can be complex. Even with over 10 years of experience we encounter issues that are difficult to solve which are often related to changes implemented by LS Retail for new versions.

“Everything on offer

Pros

The usability is excellent and after training it is easy to change functions and the interface at the checkout.

Cons

In certain situations, the functionality does not work as expected and requires code changes.

“One platform but still need to have more features

Pros

LS Retail software provides a single platform for both ERP and POS functions. The Data Director tool is the best, and the software is scalable. There is a priority on offers and promotions.

Cons

I have received numerous complaints from my customers regarding promotions such as birthday promotions. The system only triggers these promotions on the exact date of the end customer's birthday, which is not enough. Typically, customers prefer options like celebrating the entire birthday month or within a 15-day window. On the mobile platform, local software can provide better support for this, especially in the hospitality industry. The web POS is relatively slow, and the hardware requirements are demanding, especially for the store database. Customers want the system to suggest what end customers should purchase based on their preferences. Loss prevention should be included as a standard feature, but the price is too high. There are still some bugs present, and the three levels of item categorization (division, category, product group) are not enough. Managing auto post statements becomes impractical when dealing with more than 50 stores. It would be helpful if there were a setup option for this, and in case of failure, an email notification should be sent.

“LS Retail

Pros

The retail and hospitality features are basic but useful.

Cons

I found that the price of the software is high and some features are not included in the base pack.

“Excelent Solution for Retail Industry

Pros

The functionality for the retail industry is excellent.

Cons

The solution performs well for the retail industry.

“Working with LS retail since last 17 years long journey with summary below.

Pros

This software is built on Business Central and is compatible with SQL. It utilizes Microsoft AZURE and cloud technology, offering rich features with integrated ERP. It's a great fit for mid and small retailers, allowing for quick setups to go live. The replication tool is also good. I have a long list of other benefits.

Cons

I had difficulties with the user-friendliness of the POS configurations. There were too many complicated setups involved behind the scenes which makes it hard to install, deploy and maintain, especially for low-end retailers. I also faced a lack of training materials for the latest versions, a lack of integration with other channel platforms and a lack of localizations in certain countries. Additionally, the partners were not up to date.

“Best ERP for Retail Industry.

Pros

One of the best aspects of LS Retail is that it's built on the efficient SMB ERP Software (Navision). The data model is industry-leading, and LS Retail brings out the best features to enhance your retail business. You can customize the product to meet your specific business needs, providing transparent visibility into the firm's growth.

Cons

We encountered latency issues in data replication and it took quite some time to resolve them. It took us a couple of days to identify the problem, but fortunately it can be easily overlooked.

Pros

LS Retail is good for retail industries as it offers most of the necessary options to run operations.

This software is easy to use, install, learn and modify.

Unfortunately, there is no source code available to modify and develop a retail mobile app. Additionally, there are no documents provided for the same.

“THE REAL END-TO-END SOLUTION

Pros

With LS Retail you don't have to worry about maintaining multiple systems for retail, inventory and financial management. It's an all in one solution for your retail and accounting needs.

Cons

The data director has caused us numerous headaches. While it is the system's strength, the issues, bugs and related concerns attached to it have become a significant drawback and have affected the overall performance of the system in the market, particularly for large-sized industries. Furthermore, the support provided for questions regarding the data director is unsatisfactory.

“LS Retail for Supermarkets

Pros

I haven't come across any product that compares to LS Retail when it comes to super/hypermarkets. It can be set up as online or offline cash registers, and the synchronization with HQ is extensive. The promotions and offers are extensive as well. The user interface is fully customizable. It's an end-to-end solution that seamlessly works on top of Microsoft Dynamics NAV, eliminating the need for interfaces or integration issues.

Cons

The availability of support resources is limited and the hardware requirements are high if you plan on setting up the software on-premise.

“All-in one Retail Solution for a plug and play action

Pros

The wide-spread configuration capability is a huge advantage when selecting LS Retail as the main retail solution for a retail operations-driven business or enterprise. LS Retail can be deployed as a vertical software solution for Microsoft Dynamics NAV/Business Central, making the solution proposals more competitive and viable. The user-friendliness in terms of UI/UX is a goal successfully achieved at LS Retail.

Cons

Although the system allows for configuration at a basic level, as a Deployer, I am eager for better development capabilities to be available, whether through overlays or extensions. Currently, the pricing structure is not viable for the South Asian market, based on my experience with implementation and proposal development.

There are several bugs present in the initial version of the release.

LS Retail provides solutions for the fashion and hospitality industries as well as a loyalty solution. I have no complaints!

Pros

It's easy to use and configure, providing a complete package for the retail and hospitality industry. The team members, especially Martin Kleindl, are helpful, and the technologies used are up-to-date.

Cons

The price is a concern, and there should be more verticals added (such as jewelry). Additionally, there should be a technical dump provided, and there seems to be an excessive focus on developing countries.

“Pro & Cons about LS Retail

LS Retail has a lot of features and functionality, and it's highly configurable. The best part is that it can work semi-offline and online. The data director feature helps in replicating data back to the server, and the software is user-friendly.

Customization and software enhancements are challenging to perform. There are many restrictions in the coding that limit the ability to improve it.

“LS Retail Review

Pros

I may be new to the company, but I find LS Retail convenient to use.

Cons

Although I haven't been a long-time user, I believe having a mobile app would greatly improve accessibility, allowing users to access the software from anywhere.

Pros

LS Retail POS features are great and the replication platform is strong. I also love the stock replenishment module.

Cons

I found that the new release notes are unclear, and training videos are not available for all features.

“LS Retail/Central, NZ experience

Pros

The advantages of LS Central lie in its ability to be configured without code and its flexible architecture that mirrors retail operations. It's based on the very stable DynamicsNAV/Business Central platform. The web integration supports multi-channel selling as well.

Cons

Like any enterprise, I realized that a significant amount of configuration is required to maximize the product's potential. It's important to recognize the need for sufficient internal resources for the project and to maintain a good relationship with an LS accredited implementation partner.

“Good software for POS terminals

Pros

LS Retail has numerous functions and options. It can be customized almost without limitations and integrates well with Microsoft Dynamics.

It is challenging to set up different prices for various store locations. I also found that there are missing filters for adding or removing groups of items for specific offers.

“LS Central

Pros

The most amazing feature of LS Retail is the Data Director, which seamlessly handles data replication.

Cons

Reporting is an area where I hope for significant improvement. For instance, there should be industry-standard reports like a Daily Sales report for the hospitality sector, which is frequently requested by customers.

“Availability of Latest Versions and New Vertical (Pharma etc.) for our Region

Pros

LS Retail software quickly introduces new features, modules, and technology to stay up to date with current and future market requirements.

Obtaining a localized version can be difficult when there is a heavy reliance on Microsoft. Localization is not prioritized in the case of a .Net solution.

Pros

The software is intuitive and solves most of the problems encountered in the retail industry, from gas stations to brick-and-mortar retail. It's possible to seamlessly integrate with an ERP like Dynamics and handle critical solutions in real-time. In my opinion, it is the most comprehensive solution for retail at this time.

Like any other software with robust security features, facing certain problems in this regard can be overwhelming.

There is a lack of documentation and I think it would be beneficial for it to be more specific.

“All in one Retail solution

Pros

I really like the loyalty module and the click-and-collect solution.

Loyalty points redemption is a challenging area to navigate.

“LS Retail is a one stop solution for Retail POS

Pros

The POS is easy to use, and it offers all the essential features related to replenishment, loyalty and member management, gift cards, and credit notes on sales returns.

Cons

I am disappointed with the discount feature as it lacks robustness and flexibility in usage. It becomes a bottleneck in the current dynamic retail industry where brick-and-mortar establishments and e-commerce are moving together. The LS offerings for discounts lack support and are incapable of handling multiple and diverse discount processes needed to retain loyal members across different retail brands.

“I Love LS Retail

Pros

Being built on top of Microsoft Dynamics NAV/BC makes it comprehensive for backend operations and scalable. It's flexible for customization and offers industry-ready features for a quick start. It has been tried and tested for ease of use and has cool intuitive features.

Cons

Microsoft Dynamics NAV's shortcomings are inherited by the software.
