ERPNext vs. LS Central

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.

Incentivized

• Locally hosted, so it is very fast
• Help documents are pretty good
• Lots of flexibility in configuration

• 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.

Incentivized

• 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.

• 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.

Overall good, but needs some training to get people to be proficient in the system.

Wanted something flexible and with the ability to self-host. Open source is also nice.

It scores higher on overall user experience and matured features set.

Incentivized

• Neutral, needed to find a new system as the current system is being retired.

• Timely sales visibility
• Optimum Inventory levels
• Enough data to visualise trends and patterns
