1. Technology overview
LS Retail is an Icelandic software company (LS Retail ehf) that builds business management software for retail, restaurants, hotels, pharmacies and forecourts. It sells through a network of more than 300 certified partners in 157 countries, so chains can run stores and back office on one system instead of linking separate POS and ERP tools.
LS Central combines POS, inventory, replenishment, customer loyalty, reporting and financials in one integrated solution, with add-ons for e-commerce, self-checkout, ScanPayGo, restaurant self-ordering, kitchen display, bookings, analytics and LS Pay payments. CentralConnect links LS Central to other ERPs and e-commerce platforms, and it runs as SaaS. Customers include adidas, SPAR, Intersport and Starbucks Philippines.

3. Potential application

A group running restaurants and convenience stores can use self-ordering, kitchen display and self-checkout on the same platform.
4. Benefits
Chains replace separate POS, inventory and finance tools with one system covering stores and head office, reducing data reconciliation. The same platform serves retail, food service and hospitality, which suits groups operating mixed formats. In Vietnam, buyers can work with two Diamond-rated local partners that support the product in English and Vietnamese.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Large retail and food service groups in Southeast Asia are consolidating store, e-commerce and finance processes on cloud ERP-based platforms as they expand chains and add self-service.
