The integration of Microsoft Dynamics Nav from the Front to Backoffice covering every area of the product.

Sincerely I don't have any complains about the software. What I like least would be the way the software setup the different screen menues for the POS client.

1. It overall Look and Highly customizable Features.
2. Integration with almost any dotnet or API based soluition.
3. Mobile POS Solution are even more comfy.
4. Mobile App for each and every module(Retail,Warehouse,Inventory Management,LS Pay etc)

4. ect

Pros

Data director is the most amazing feature with seamless functionality. It works really great in data replication.

Cons

Reporting, I really hope they can improve on the reporting part. For example There should be industry standard report like Daily Sales report for Hospitality. Every customer asks for it.

Pros

Easy to go with Microsoft Dynamics Navision and other ERP systems. Any discount System can be configured to automate the cashiering system which includes for Tender types, Banks, discount coupon, Gift Voucher, Date & Time-based discount, Quantity based discount and much more.

Cons

Length of the Invoice number in the POS system can not be controlled as of now it is an alphanumeric of more than 12 digits.

Pros

I do not know of any product that comes close to LS Retail when it comes to super/hyper markets. It can be setup as online or offline cash registers. Synchronization with HQ is extensive. Promotions and offers are extensive. User interface is fully customizable. It's an end-to-end solution that works on top of Microsoft Dynamics NAV which makes everything seamless. No interfaces or integration with the problems that come with them are needed.

Support resources are scarce and hardware requirements are high if you are planning for an on-premise setup

Pros

1. Highly Customizable.
2. Fully integrated with base product.
3. Support any API Channel across the retail API.

2. Very slow Localization patch release as compared to release of patches provided by Microsoft.
