What XSi Does

XSi Retail Partners is a retail-focused team offering structured implementation, training, development, and support services with clients in footwear, apparel, photography and accessories, building materials, and home furnishings.

With their combined retail experience, XSi Retail Partners is dedicated to serving retail chains with a personalized implementation approach. As business and retail experts, XSi Retail Partners takes the time to understand the client’s challenges and in turn, design the proper solution to meet their objectives.

LS Central is based on the Microsoft Business Central platform, which offers all of the Microsoft tools and flexibility as the foundation, and the LS Central specific functionality required to manage a complete retail chain operation.

Retail-specific features include inventory planning, allocation, item seasonality and groupings, automated replenishment, store and staff management, fully configurable point of sale, as well as a complete module to manage customer orders with options for pickup and delivery across the chain, dependent on the retailer’s process.

eCommerce integrations to most major platforms are also available to provide retailers with one central repository for items, inventory availability, customers, pricing, and orders to avoid redundancy and utilize the core of LS Central to manage this entity similar to a standard brick and mortar location.

LS Retail partners implement the LS Central solution which caters to retail chains with small to large footprints and can be implemented in the cloud, on-premise, or hybrid approach, proving retailers with a multitude of options for deployment.

With now more than 12 stores, évoilà5 searched for a retail software solution they could count on for their operations in order to continue their expansion.

Microsoft Business Central and LS Central from LS Retail are now at the heart of their operations to manage évoilà5’s store operations, reporting, and accounting functions. No more infrastructure to manage as Microsoft hosts the entire solution in their SaaS cloud platform.

Implementation

XSi Retail Partners is proud to be the first LS Retail partner in Canada to implement the Cloud-ready solution in this region – www.lsretail.com. The XSi team worked closely with évoilà5 management to implement the solution, including LS Pay, within a very short timeline.
