New LS Retail add-on solutions for Microsoft Dynamics AX for Retail

LS Retail originally developed the LS Retail AX solution that was acquired by Microsoft. Microsoft Dynamics AX for Retail was released in August 2010 and is intended to become a major player in the market for re-tail solutions. For LS Retail it was a logical step to utilize the expertise within the company to develop solu-tions to enhance the new product and coinciding with the release of Microsoft Dynamic AX for Retail we presented the first two add-on solutions. Three more were released in December 2010. These five add-on solutions plus the expertise within LS Retail’s Consulting Services will give our Partners a strong foundation to pursue the competitive retail market.
