    RQ is great for pulling sales and tax-related information. Inventory tracking depends on manual entry being done correctly.

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

    • 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.

    I have had little need for support. But when needed, customer service was willing and available to help.

    Deltek is better for financial reporting. RQ has superior inventory and COGS tracking.
