User Testimonials
	LS Central	Microsoft Dynamics RMS (Discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend	Aptos Ideally it can work with any kind of retailer but workarounds and customisations required to handle deliveries. Incentivized Vimal Chandan Deputy Manager Read full review	Microsoft Like I said before, it's great to use when you have to manage multiple warehouses, multiple stores or multiple websites, or all of the above and you need to keep an up to date inventory for all locations. Once learned it will make anyone's job much easier to do each day. Incentivized Jeff Moriarty Digital Marketing Manager Read full review
Pros	Aptos 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 Vimal Chandan Deputy Manager Read full review	Microsoft Once you set it up correctly, it just works Can be customized Tons of options Incentivized Jeff Moriarty Digital Marketing Manager Read full review
Cons	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. Incentivized Vimal Chandan Deputy Manager Read full review	Microsoft Steep learning curve Not as advanced as new systems on the market Can be buggy with websites Incentivized Jeff Moriarty Digital Marketing Manager Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Aptos It scores higher on overall user experience and matured features set. Incentivized Vimal Chandan Deputy Manager Read full review	Microsoft It's been so long since we actually chose this program, I am not sure of the competitors out now. I started using it a couple years ago, but our company has used it for maybe 10 years now? We plan on reviewing other systems next year, so I will know more then.

Return on Investment	Aptos Timely sales visibility Optimum Inventory levels Enough data to visualise trends and patterns Incentivized Vimal Chandan Deputy Manager Read full review	Microsoft It has saved us time by not having to do anything manually It has kept our inventory updated so customers are not upset It's always worked, so not a lot of dev/support money required Incentivized Jeff Moriarty Digital Marketing Manager Read full review
