LS Retail & LS Central

Run Your Entire Retail Business on One Platform.

LS Central unifies point of sale, inventory, e-commerce, loyalty, and financials in a single solution built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. No more stitching together a POS, a back office, and an ERP that never quite agree. Qixas implements, modernizes, and supports LS Retail so every store, channel, and head-office decision runs from one source of truth.

Sound familiar?

Sound Familiar?

Most growing retailers run on a patchwork of disconnected systems. It works — until the data stops agreeing and every report needs a spreadsheet to reconcile it.

Too many disconnected systems

A separate POS, e-commerce platform, inventory tool, and accounting package — each with its own data. Reconciling them eats hours and still leaves gaps.

Inventory you can't trust

Stock levels differ between the store, the warehouse, and the website. Overselling online and dead stock in the back room both cost you margin.

No single view of the customer

Loyalty lives in one system, sales in another. You can't see what a customer bought across channels — so personalization and targeted offers fall flat.

Aging or end-of-life software

You're on legacy LS Retail on NAV, or a POS the vendor no longer invests in. Updates are painful, support is thin, and the cloud feels out of reach.

The platform

What Is LS Central?

LS Central is LS Retail's flagship unified commerce platform, built directly on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Instead of integrating a POS with a separate ERP, LS Central makes them one system — so a sale at the till, a stock movement in the warehouse, an online order, and the general ledger all share the same live data. One platform replaces the multiple systems most retailers juggle today, giving head office and every store a single source of truth.

LS Central point of sale and unified back office

Powerful, Industry-Rich POS

A fast, reliable point of sale with deep retail functionality built in — works online and offline, on fixed tills, mobile devices, and self-checkout.

Inventory & Replenishment

Real-time stock across every location with automated, demand-driven replenishment so the right products are in the right store at the right time.

Omni-Channel & E-Commerce

Sell in-store and online from one catalogue and one inventory. Click-and-collect, ship-from-store, and endless-aisle all run on the same data.

Loyalty & Personalization

A built-in loyalty engine and member app that recognize customers across channels and drive repeat visits with targeted, personalized offers.

Reporting & Real-Time Insight

Live dashboards and analytics across sales, margin, stock, and store performance — decisions made on current data, not last week's export.

Financials on Business Central

Full Microsoft ERP underneath — accounting, AP/AR, and statutory reporting — so store transactions post straight to the books with no re-keying.

What Retailers Tell Us

Retail team using a unified commerce platform

Client story

Platform across every store & channel

We were running a separate POS, e-commerce platform, and accounting system that never agreed with each other. Qixas moved us onto LS Central and now everything — every store, the website, and head office — works from the same live data. Reconciliation went from days to minutes, and we finally trust our inventory numbers.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions, Answered

What is LS Central and how is it different from a standalone POS?

LS Central is LS Retail's unified commerce platform built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. A standalone POS only handles transactions at the till and then has to be integrated with separate inventory, e-commerce, and accounting systems. LS Central makes all of those one system — the POS, back office, inventory, loyalty, e-commerce, and full ERP share a single database, so there's nothing to reconcile between systems and every location reads the same live data.

Is LS Central only for retail stores?

No. LS Central serves six core verticals: retail, restaurants and food service, hotels and resorts, pharmacies, forecourt and gas stations, and specialty venues such as spas, stadiums, and arenas. The same platform supports mixed-format operations — for example a retailer that also runs in-store cafés — with purpose-built functionality for each.

We're on legacy LS Retail on Dynamics NAV. Can we move to LS Central?

Yes, and it's one of the most common engagements we run. Moving from LS Retail on NAV to LS Central on Business Central is a modernization project, not a simple upgrade — your customizations, item and store data, and integrations all need assessment. We start with a Retail Assessment that maps your customization footprint, cloud blockers, and data complexity so you know the real scope before committing to a reimplementation.

Does LS Central run in the cloud?

Yes. Because LS Central is built on Dynamics 365 Business Central, it runs on Microsoft's cloud with automatic updates, built-in security, and the ability to extend with Power BI, Power Apps, and Copilot. On-premise and hybrid deployments are also possible — we help you choose the model that fits your stores and IT footprint.

Can our stores keep selling if the internet goes down?

Yes. The LS Central POS is designed to operate offline and sync automatically when connectivity returns, so a network outage at a store doesn't stop the tills. This resilience is one of the reasons retailers choose a purpose-built retail platform over a generic cloud POS.
