What the assessment covers
Six areas that decide how clean — or how complicated — a move to Business Central and LS Central will be. We focus on what matters at the executive level, not a line-by-line technical audit.
Version & lifecycle exposure
Confirmation of your exact LS Retail / LS Central versions and where they sit against Microsoft's and LS's support lifecycle — so you know your real exposure window.
Business Central cloud blockers
Identification of likely blockers to BC online, including code-customized tables, LS Retail modifications, and extension-readiness concerns that quietly drive remediation cost.
Store & item data complexity
A review of store and location structure, item hierarchies, variants and barcodes, dimensions, and the POS transaction-volume drivers that shape migration scope and timeline.
Finance & retail control readiness
An assessment of approvals, store-level reconciliation, cash and tender management, and audit-logging priorities — so controls are designed in, not bolted on after go-live.
Integration dependencies
A review of the systems your stores rely on today — e-commerce, payment and POS hardware, loyalty, and BI — with recommendations toward a more modern, API-first target state.
Customization footprint
A clear picture of how much custom code and how many LS Retail mods you carry, what can move cleanly as an extension, and what needs to be rethought or retired.
How the assessment works
A practical, remote session that respects your team's time — and your store hours. Here's what to expect.
- 01
Confirm exposure
We confirm your LS Retail / LS Central versions and lifecycle position, then frame the assessment around the decisions leadership actually needs to make.
- 02
Review the database
Together we examine customization footprint, BC cloud blockers, and retail data complexity — store structure, item hierarchies, variants, dimensions, and POS volume drivers.
- 03
Assess controls & integrations
We review approvals, store reconciliation, and audit-logging priorities, then map integration dependencies — e-commerce, payments, loyalty — toward a more modern, API-first target state.
- 04
Align on priorities
You get a clear read on risk, effort, and priority — what migrates cleanly, what needs remediation, and how finance, IT, and store operations should align on a controlled transition.
Why Qixas runs the assessment
Built for clarity, not a sales pitch
The session's only goal is an informed view of your exposure and modernization challenges. You get a straight read on risk and effort — no pressure to commit to a project on the spot.
Senior consultants who know retail and LS
The people assessing your environment are the ones who've moved real retailers off legacy LS Retail to Business Central and LS Central — so the findings reflect what actually happens in stores, not theory.
Finance, IT, and stores on the same page
We translate technical findings into business risk and priority, giving leadership a shared basis to align on before any larger project commitment is made.
Common questions about the assessment
Who is the assessment for?
Retail finance and IT leaders at North American organizations still running LS Retail and LS Central deployments who want an informed view of their current exposure and likely modernization challenges before committing to a full reimplementation initiative.
What exactly do we walk away with?
A clearer, executive-level view of risk, effort, and priority: confirmed LS versions and lifecycle exposure, likely Business Central cloud blockers, your store and item data complexity, finance and retail control readiness, and integration considerations — plus a recommended direction.
We're on LS Retail / LS Central — does that change anything?
It's central to the review. We specifically look at LS Retail modifications, POS extensions, and what it takes to move to LS Central on Business Central — because that's where much of the customization and migration effort tends to sit for retailers.
Is this a full technical audit?
No. It's a focused, low-friction advisory session delivered remotely. It concentrates on the issues that matter most at the executive level rather than a line-by-line code review, so you get to decisions quickly without disrupting your stores.
Do we have to commit to a migration afterward?
Not at all. The objective is to give management clarity before larger project commitments are made. What you do with that clarity — and when, relative to your peak season — is entirely your call.
Still have questions? Send them with your request — a senior consultant will answer them personally.
Don't wait for urgency to make the decision for you
The smartest next step for retailers on legacy systems is a clear understanding of what's in your database, what can migrate cleanly, and how finance, IT, and store operations should align on a controlled move to Business Central and LS Central. That's exactly what this assessment delivers.
