Retail Management Systems

We are primarily a retail organisation where retail divisions contribute 80 percent of total sales. LS Retail NAV is being used across retail companies to have better visibility of sales and Inventory. On the POS front, it provides dynamic features to handle pricing, offers, and promotions.

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.

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.

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