Master the Modern Retail Supply Chain with LS Central on Business Central
One platform from supplier PO to customer receipt, with the visibility a 2026 retail business actually needs.
What "Modern" Means in Retail Supply Chain
A 2010-era retail supply chain was sequential — supplier ships, warehouse receives, stores order, consumer buys. A 2026 supply chain is concurrent: store, web, marketplace, and aggregator orders all draw from the same stock pool, replenishment is forecasted continuously, and the consumer expects to know what is in stock before walking in.

One platform beats six integrated systems
The instinct of a growing retailer is to add a best-of-breed system per problem — a WMS for the warehouse, a TMS for transport, a planning tool for forecasting, an aggregator connector for delivery, an OMS for omnichannel orders. Six systems later, the engineering bill is bigger than the original ERP, and the data is still inconsistent.
LS Central running on Business Central covers all six surfaces on one item master — and the integration work goes away.
Six Surfaces, One Platform
A 2026 retail supply chain runs across six surfaces. LS Central on Business Central handles each natively — the same item, customer, and ledger model across all six.
1. Replenishment
Demand-driven replenishment with safety stock, lead time, and seasonality factors per SKU per location.
2. Inter-store transfers
System-proposed transfers from over-stocked to under-stocked stores; one click to draft, one approval to ship.
3. Omnichannel stock visibility
Web, marketplace, and aggregator orders draw from the same item ledger as the POS — no double-bookings.
4. Warehouse operations
Receiving, put-away, pick, pack, ship — handheld-friendly, barcode-driven, with cycle counts and bin-level inventory.
5. Supplier collaboration
Supplier portal, ASN handling, three-way match — the supplier sees your PO, you see their commit.
6. Reverse logistics
Returns at any node — store, web, aggregator — route to refurbish, restock, or write-off with full financial reconciliation.
