Definition · What they are
What are LS Central Enhancers?
LS Central Enhancers are official LS Retail software extensions and Novasoft addons that plug into your LS Central deployment — adding capabilities that aren't in the LS Central core: payment processing, self-checkout, kitchen-display, online ordering, mobile staff, advanced analytics, AI assistants and industry-specific verticals. Unlike third-party integrations, every enhancer here is engineered to install natively inside LS Central — no middleware, no nightly batch, no second vendor.
This page lists all 10 official LS Retail enhancers from the LS Retail Software Enhancers catalogue — Analytics, Bookings, eCommerce for retail, eCommerce for restaurants, LS Pay, Staff Management, ScanPayGo, Self-checkout, Restaurant self-ordering and KDS — plus 7 Novasoft addons built specifically on LS Central: NOVAHUB partner portal, ANNOYA F&B vertical, Retail Co-Pilot, NOVASCAN, NOVAPRINT, NOVAEXP, and NOVAREQ. Novasoft is an LS Retail Diamond Partner for five consecutive years (2022–2026) — see the LS Retail partner directory.

Insight · How to pick your enhancer mix
Most retailers buy three-four LS Central enhancers.
The LS Retail enhancer catalogue is broad on purpose — to cover every retail and hospitality format LS Central runs. But the typical Novasoft customer rolls out three to four enhancers, not ten. The right shortlist depends on your format, store density and existing payment estate.
For grocery and hypermarket chains, the three enhancers that move the needle on day-one operations are Self-checkout for retail, LS Pay and Analytics for LS Central — queue reduction, payment-rail consolidation and store-KPI visibility. ScanPayGo is the modernising fourth.
For restaurant chains, the heaviest-impact mix is KDS + Restaurant self-ordering + eCommerce for restaurants. Add Novasoft's ANNOYA vertical addon when recipe yield, central-kitchen planning and multi-brand inter-entity matter — that's 189 features beyond what LS Retail's enhancer catalogue covers.
For fashion and apparel, the three to start with are eCommerce for retail (endless-aisle on POS), Bookings for LS Central (personal shopper appointments) and LS Pay.

FAQ · Common questions
Questions about LS Central.
What is LS Central?
LS Central is the LS Retail unified-commerce application that runs on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. One product covers ERP, POS, inventory and warehouse, omnichannel commerce, hospitality kitchen-display, mobile inventory, member loyalty and reporting — instead of stitching a separate POS to a separate ERP. LS Central is used by 110,000+ retail locations across 157 countries. Novasoft is an LS Retail Diamond Partner for 5 consecutive years (2022–2026).
How is LS Central different from a standalone POS?
Standalone POS stacks ship a till that talks to a separate ERP through nightly batch files. LS Central is one application — the POS, inventory, pricing, promotions, finance and reporting share the same Business Central tenant and the same data. Stock changes at the POS reach the GL the same moment. Loyalty points earned in-store reach the e-commerce account immediately. There is no integration layer to break.
Which retail formats does LS Central serve?
Grocery and hypermarket, fashion, electronics, pharmacy, travel retail and restaurants / hospitality. The product ships verticalised feature sets per format — fresh-food handling and weighing for grocery, size + colour variants for fashion, serial tracking and warranties for electronics, batch and expiry for pharmacy. Novasoft has shipped LS Central in every one of those formats across the Gulf and India.
Can LS Central run on the cloud?
Yes. LS Central SaaS runs on Microsoft Azure as a managed Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS tenant. On-premises and hybrid deployments remain supported for retailers who keep store servers in-store. Novasoft's LS Central SaaS practice covers the cloud-migration path for existing on-prem LS NAV / LS Central customers.
How long does an LS Central rollout take?
Novasoft delivers LS Central in four stages — Assessment, Design, Implementation and Go-Live — typically 8–14 weeks for a single-format single-store rollout and 14–24 weeks for multi-format or multi-country chains. The schedule is fixed at design time; scope creep lands in a change-control queue rather than the critical path. Fixed-price for SME retailers.
Does Retail Co-Pilot work on LS Central?
Yes. Retail Co-Pilot is Novasoft's AI assistant for LS Central — store managers ask plain-English questions of their store data (sales by hour, basket size, missed promotions, conversion) and get back actionable answers grounded in the LS Central transaction history. See Retail Co-Pilot for details.
