Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
SAP S/4HANA
OracleMicrosoft Dynamics 365 FinanceLS Central is a retail and hospitality management platform built as a native extension of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, developed by LS Retail, an Aptos company headquartered in Kopavogur, Iceland. It combines point-of-sale, store operations, inventory, financials and reporting inside the same Business Central data model rather than as a bolted-on integration, and is sold in vertical editions for general retail, grocery, fashion, hospitality/restaurants, pharmacy and fuel/forecourt operations.
The platform covers front-of-house functionality such as offline-capable POS terminals, mobile POS, self-checkout and the ScanPayGo mobile scan-and-go app, alongside back-office functions including real-time, cross-channel inventory and automated replenishment, tiered loyalty programs, and staff scheduling. Add-on modules extend it further: Analytics for LS Central (a Power BI-based reporting suite), Bookings (reservations, classes, events and ticketing), a Kitchen Display System and restaurant self-ordering for hospitality operations, and eCommerce connectors to Shopify and Adobe Commerce.
For enterprises that want to keep an existing ERP rather than adopt Business Central, LS Retail offers CentralConnect, a fully managed integration that runs LS Central as the POS, retail and hospitality layer while SAP S/4HANA, Oracle or Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations remains the financial back end; retailers including Adidas and Boots Norway use this combination with SAP. LS Retail reports its software running in more than 110,000 stores, restaurants, pharmacies and fuel stations across 157 countries through a network of more than 320 certified partners.
