Approach & Unique Features
With the core team of Lilliput and Tectura, along with the DVS team of LS Retail Certified professionals, the initiative began with the task of project definition.
Kunwar Naresh, IT Head - Lilliput states that, “Prior to the implementation of LS Retail, we were working on disparate systems, using individual solution to manage both the store and company finance. There was no integration between the two. The growing business plan needed to be supported by a robust solution and with disparate solution it was becoming complicated to manage the transitions at the store level and track it at the head office. There was an urgent need of data synchronization and an application that will integrate the POS, Back Office and Head Office.”
» Fast exchange of data: The LS Data Director exchanges data very fast between different Microsoft Dynamics NAV databases and also some other databases that are not based on Microsoft Dynamics NAV. LS Retail has a built-in scheduling mechanism to run batch jobs. The scheduling mechanism is also used to schedule transfers of data between head office and store or from store to POS terminals.
» Powerful POS Application: At Lilliput, there was a need to effectively handle the store operations. Billing was an issue at the store level also a complete localization of application was required as per the statutory requirements.
The store operations needed more attention and a solution that would be easy to understand and user friendly, so that it's easier to train the staff.
LS POS is the Point of Sale/Service (POS) part of LS Retail. LS POS is a fast, dependable and powerful POS application, with a graphic user interface. Choosing LS Retail provided Lilliput with advanced features required by the store to effectively run promotions, loyalty schemes and periodic discounts. The bills were faster to generate. Usability of the product reflect in the immediate incorporation with Microsoft solutions such as MS Word, MS Excel and Outlook; making it positively easier to comprehend.
» Effectively streamline inventory control: Lilliput was managing multiple warehouses for company owned stores, MBO customers and a vast range of product portfolio. Due to the huge number of stores being added to the existing chain the need for an advanced inventory management system was recognized that would be capable enough to use advance devices such as barcode scanners and other EDI devices.
The need of the hour was an effective Inventory Management tool that provided a simple method of collecting data for stock control. The processes are designed to make the task in hand as simple as possible for the user. By creating a consistent look and feel for the user in all worksheet processes, the system should ensure process completion according to the process configuration. This produces more reliable data in the system as the user is always led through the process.
LS Retail has changed the way Lilliput stores operate. The LS Retail functionalities allow Lilliput to manage time inventory flow and maintain healthy turnover rate. The efficiency of the warehouses increased by 60%. After consultation with DVS and Tectura, Lilliput considered LS Retail to integrate its purchase order management and Item variants management with inventory management for mapping the inventory process.
Lilliput's latest project with DVS and Tectura is the implementation of LS Retail for 50 new retail outlets.
