The extended pack supports LS Retail NAV Replenishment functionality. Automatic replenishment

replenishment methods are also offered, in which the buyer decides how to push stock to stores or
franchise partners.

The extended pack supports cross-docking single-purchase orders, pushing existing stock from

end of season.

The ability to create campaigns with special offering and replenishing process to support the
campaign is also a part of the extended pack.

There is also an effective workbench for the buyer to get a good overview of all relevant information

tool to manage purchasing and stock where the item has a long lead time. Then the day-by-day status
can be managed.

One of the features here is the Item Master maintenance by importing data files from vendors and
another is the Vendor Performance Discrepancy reporting with detail logging to show ordered,
delivered and then invoiced quantity and prices.

Special Orders

By utilizing the special order functionality, the retailer can offer a greater item range and service to
customers. It is possible to order items that are within the stores product range or from a vendor item
catalog, which supports configuration and customization by the customer. The system then creates a
purchase order that is sent to the vendor in the customers name. It is possible to configure whether
pre-payment is required or not. The system can source the items from a warehouse or directly from
2
the vendor and then the customer can select if he or she collects the item at the store or warehouse
or gets it delivered home by the vendor or the retailer.

Franchise Management

Basic document communication between the franchiser and franchisee is supported, where both
parties can initiate the document. Both parties need to be running LS Retail NAV and the Data
Director manages the communication between the two companies. Automation is used in error
checking and in the creation of documents, and matching is configurable as well. Purchase and sales
order documents are used, in which case a purchase order is created and sent from the franchisee.
The system then error checks the document and then automatically creates a sales order document
in the database of the franchises if possible. Manual replenishment processes support the franchise
business concept through the option to create sales orders and define customers to receive goods.

Offline Call Center

The Starter Pack supports call centers where the restaurant and the call center are in the same
database. The extended pack supports a scenario where the restaurant and the call center are run in
different databases.

Web service is used for the communication between the two databases, in which case data is looked
up and used only when needed. Communication is confirmed directly with the user that initiates the
communication, for example when staff at the call center sends an order to a restaurant. Then the
system will connect to the restaurant database where a success message is returned, if the task was
successfully carried out.

LS Retail Staff Management

The Staff Management module supports both retail and hospitality operations. Roles within Staff
Management can be used to assign staff depending on who is available for the job. Skill levels and
salary cost are also taken into account, as well as budget creation. Roster planning is supported, with
the ability to schedule shifts, estimate cost and compare to budgets. Viewing historical information is
provided and having an overview over the staffs unavailability - because of sick leaves and vacations
- makes planning more effective. Members of staff can register their time and view their work
schedule. It is very simple for the employer to accept registered hours and act on exceptions. The
conclusion is to export the result to an external salary system.

This module can be purchased by paying a fee for each POS (10014710) in the license or a license
with unlimited (10014720) number of POSs.

LS Retail Loss Prevention


The Loss Prevention module gives the user the ability to analyze POS transactions to identify
situations which might cause loss for the retailer. The solution views all POS transactions and
subtracts transactions that match defined triggers. It then further analyzes the result to create loss
prevention events. The solution comes with twenty predefined triggers and an option for the retailer to
define additional triggers. Events can be further analyzed by store, POS, staff, date and time. The
events can be escalated from events to incidents.

This module can be purchased by paying a fee for each POS (10015000) in the license or a license
with an unlimited (10015010) number of POSs.
