Implementing LS-NAV always went smooth. The latest developments are a real addition to LS-NAV.

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: 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.

Pros:

Data director is the most amazing feature with seamless functionality. It works really great in data replication.

LS Retail for Supermarkets

5.0 5 years ago

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
