• 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

• Users have too much freedom to change key reporting information.
• It has a hard time compiling large amounts of data.

Incentivized

• 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.
