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.

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

The most powerful software
Pros
No matter what activities are to be performed, all types of tasks are done with ease, transactions are intuitively completed by the cashiers, whilest customers can still be advised, or if administrators are setting up complex benefits for the the sales process.
Cons
It is sometimes a challenge to find the right way to fulfil a specific task, because there are always many and different ways to achieve the needed functionality.
