Definition · What it is

What is LS Central?

LS Central is the LS Retail unified-commerce application that turns Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central into a retail and hospitality platform. One product, one tenant, one data model — covering ERP, POS, inventory, warehouse, omnichannel commerce, hospitality kitchen-display, mobile inventory, loading-card management, item availability, customer order capture, member loyalty and reporting. The standalone POS + separate ERP stack is retired.

Novasoft is an LS Retail Diamond Partner for five consecutive years (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026) — see the LS Retail partner directory. The Novasoft LS Central practice covers fresh rollouts, LS NAV → LS Central upgrades, LS Central SaaS migration to the cloud, retail format extensions (grocery, fashion, hospitality, electronics, pharmacy), and Novacare 360° managed support. The application page below covers the LS Central application surface — the videos that follow are the same demonstrations LS Retail and Novasoft customers reach for first.

Capabilities · Six pillars

Six pillars that make LS Central one product instead of six.

Each pillar is shipped natively inside the LS Central application — no integration layer, no nightly batch, no second vendor.

POS & store operations

Windows POS, tablet POS, mobile POS — same product. Daily settlement, end-of-day, drawer counts, returns, voids, refunds. Offline mode for store-server-down scenarios. Multi-currency, multi-language, Arabic and Hindi UX support.

POS & inventory

Inventory, items & warehouse

Items, variants, dimensions, lot and serial tracking, multi-site stock, replenishment, mobile inventory counts. Loading-card management for inbound shipments, item availability across the chain for cashier endless-aisle.

Watch capability videos

Hospitality & restaurants

Kitchen-display systems, table management, recipe and ingredient costing, modifiers, split-bill, course timing. LS Central for Hospitality ships as part of the same product, not a separate SKU.

Deliverect connector

Omnichannel commerce

Click-and-collect, ship-from-store, endless-aisle, return-anywhere — the same item, price and promotion across in-store POS, e-commerce and the mobile app. Customer Order in LS Central handles the cross-channel order capture natively.

eCommerce practice

Member loyalty & promotions

Native member club, points, tiers, reward redemption, mix-and-match promotions, threshold offers, line discounts, gift cards. Loyalty earned at the POS reaches the e-commerce account immediately — no nightly batch.

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 questio
