    It is so flexible and configurable that it can be fairly easily adapted to most situations.

    Ideally it can work with any kind of retailer but workarounds and customisations required to handle deliveries.

    • Offline/semi-offline mode works well in areas where connectivity is an issue.
    • Pricing, offers and promotions can be configured exceptionally well in LS Retail.
    • POS interface design is simple, robust and easily configurable.
    • Security wise there is enough detail available to trace all kinds of POS transactions.

    Cons
    Frappe
    • Random errors (seem to be related to python) can be very difficult to troubleshoot.
    • Creating reports and print/email documents is very cumbersome and confusing. Needs to have a WYSIWYG editor.

    Aptos
    • Data Director leaves room for improvement as it can be very tricky while dealing with a large number of master data records. Sometimes it doesn't write delete actions to POS.
    • Furniture retail is another area where improvement is required to handle deliveries.
    • Newer versions don't support data replicator which was the most reliable data tool with earlier LS Retail versions. There should be a replacement for this tool.
