The functionality of the LS Central POS system

EPOS and Mobile POS

The LS Central POS runs on your favorite computer, tablet, or mobile device, so wherever you are, you can:

• Process secure, EMV, and PCI compliant payments with the LS Pay functionality.
• Assist shoppers with product information.
• Perform critical back office and inventory functions.
• Check product availability across all stores and warehouses and order items.

Boost sales with assisted selling

By running the POS in client-ling mode, you can empower store employees with access to your entire catalog. The highly engaging visuals provide assisted selling, sparking interest and conversations. With the client ling view, which is available in every version of LS Central, you can:

• Browse and show products in all your store locations, warehouses, and even your vendors’.
• Compare items side by side, alongside detailed product information.
• Help customers find exactly the item and style they want.
• Give highly personalized and engaging sales advice.

Self-scanning options and self-checkout

Select the combination of traditional checkout tills, self-scanning systems, and self-checkout tills or even kiosks that best fits each of your stores. LS Central can run on different types of hardware, so you can choose the setup that works for you.

Sell at the POS in offline mode

While most cloud-based retail POS doesn’t work without an internet connection, leaving you unable to process sales if the internet goes down, with LS Central the POS also works in offline mode. This means you can always be operational, and go on with your business selling products and serving customers even when there is no connectivity.
