Implementing LS-NAV always went smooth. The latest developments are a real addition to LS-NAV.
The ease of use makes the difference!
Pros
It has a lot to offer out-of-the box and on top of that it is really easy to customize for that demanding customer. The help that is available from LS (academy, consultancy, help-desk) was a bit unknown to me, but since we got in contact it is that "+1" for me.
Cons
It can be a bit overwhelming for first-time users, but also for junior consultants. But at the same time it is easy to learn.

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

LS Retail for Supermarkets
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.
Cons
Support resources are scarce and hardware requirements are high if you are planning for an on-premise setup

LS Retail Review
For businesses who need to manage stores in different location and have data replicated centrally to the head office for financial management, LS Retail is a good choice.
Some modules for LS Retail still have bugs, it requires partners who have development team to help to fix during implementation because of the limited resource of LS Retail internal development team.
Pros
The functionality LS Retail provide covers all the aspects of retail businesses.
Cons
Complicated. For some retail business, LS Retail will be super complicated. Other software like ChargeLogic Retail can be considered.

One platform but still need to have more features
Goods to be the one platform but some features cannot compete with local software.
Pros
- One Platform (ERP & POS)
- Data Director is the best tool
- Scaleable software
- Priority on offers
Cons
- Promotion, ex. birthday promotion, every of my customers complain on this a lot. Coz, the system you will trigger this only exact date of end customer birthday, which not good enough. Normally, they want option like 1. be Month Birthday or +- 15 days from end customer's birthday
- On Mobile, local software can support on this a lot esp. hospitality
- Web POS, quite slow
- Hardware, your system required spect of hardware that very high performance esp. Store DB
- Customer wants wise Retail on POS, they want the system to suggest what end customers should purchase
- Loss prevention should include in standard, the price is too high
- Still have some bugs
- 3 levels of items are not enough. (Division, Category, Product group)
- Auto post statement, imagine if there are more than 50+ store, a user have to come to post statement every morning, it is not practical to do. You should provide setup to do that and if not success should send email

Once it is stabilized it can be a truly great system.
It is a heart of our Company operations now.
Pros
One integrated software, all modules in one place, MS Office like user interface, open platform - ability to implement your own modifications.
Cons
The system architecture does not support parallel access and operations in the system. Having around 50 users in HQ and 300 stores trying accessing the system (posting shipments, receiving deliveries etc.) users keep receiving an error message with information about tables locked by another users. Such situations increase frustration, slows down the business processes and limits scalability of the entire solution.

LS Retail for NAV is comprehensive and flexible software to meet most all POS / Retail needs
Full visibility and access to all aspects of business in one product without integration points or best-of-breed software issues. LS Retail is a flexible, comprehensive, all-in-one software.
Pros
LS is 100% fully integrated into NAV functionality with direct and full connections with sales, purchases, inventory, and financials. All POS and Stores are directly connected to headquarters and everything in between for full visibility into all areas of business.
Cons
Two things - one is setup, because it is so flexible, setup is extremely complex. Once it is setup, little needs to happen and it is very flexible so changes can be made quickly. Second is VAT vs Sales Tax calculations - especially with prepayments. Software is based on VAT, but has Sales Tax (North America) built on top of / besides which can have rounding issues.
