Still using many software solutions to manage the various processes in your retail enterprise?
LS Central is a complete all-in-one retail software that extends Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Microsoft’s #1 ERP solution globally.
LS Central brings together in one single platform financials (the Microsoft ERP), Point of Sale (POS), store operations, supply chain management, inventory, eCommerce, and customer loyalty.
This means you can use just one software – we call it a unified commerce software – that does everything you need, instead of many separate ones that only do a part of the job.
The LS Central POS runs on your favorite computer, tablet or mobile device, so wherever you are, you can:
Patchy internet connection? No problem. While most cloud-based retail POS don’t work without an internet connection, leaving you unable to process sales if the internet goes down, with LS Central the POS also work in offline mode. This means you can always be operational, and go on with your business selling products and serving customers even when there is no connectivity.
By running the POS in clienteling mode, you can empower store employees with access to your entire catalog. The highly engaging visuals provide assisted selling, sparking interest and conversations. With the clienteling view, which is available in every version of LS Central, you can:
Whatever your loyalty strategy, with LS Central you can design a program that helps you achieve your goals and grow customer engagement.
One of the greatest values of a loyalty program is the ability to understand better your customers’ preferences and predict their behavior.
Whether your customers shop in your physical stores or on the eCommerce, you can track their spending and preferences, and send personalized offers and meaningful communications.
Stock replenishment is a vital process in retail. An effective inventory replenishment software can help you purchase the right amount of stock and distribute it optimally, ensuring customer satisfaction and long-term profitability. LS Central for retail includes a sophisticated suite of replenishment and supply chain management tools. Free up capital by purchasing the correct amounts of stock for each item group and variant, optimize availability with intelligent item allocation across your chain and reduce the risk of out-of-stock and overstock situations.
Purchase items in the right quantities and distribute them to the stores where they are needed, with no effort – it’s all automated. LS Central uses sophisticated calculations that account for sales history and sales velocity to:
Easily allocate stock across your stores in a plan-driven way. You decide the strategy behind how items should be pushed to the stores at the start of the season, and recalled at the end of season. The system then helps you allocate the stock, calculating the most optimal distribution across your chain based on two rules:
Move items from stores experiencing lower sales to store locations with stronger demand. Balance the stock available in your supply chain network, maximize sales and grow margins. The store stock redistribution functionality is especially useful:
The best way to run your eCommerce platform is with the same software solution you already use to manage the rest of your retail business. With LS Central for retail, you can simplify your life as an omni-channel retailer, and at the same time give your customers the freedom to choose when, where and how to browse and shop your products.
On your eCommerce website, customers can check real-time stock availability, buy items to pick up in-store or get delivered, and see personalized recommendations, special offers and promotions. Whatever your omni-channel strategy, you can easily deliver it when you use one software solution that unifies all sales channels.
