My journey with LS Retail NAV
Pros
- 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.
Cons
- 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.
Return on Investment
- Timely sales visibility
- Optimum Inventory levels
- Enough data to visualise trends and patterns
