“LS Retail based on Microsoft Dynamics NAV is the most flexible solution and adaptable for our needs. This solution gave an opportunity to create a distributed system structure with centralized management when the information entered in the stores arrives at the main office once a day. After the system implementation of the financial accounting system was organized in the company, the logistics was close to ideal. Last year, the turnover of the company grew by 100%.”
