LS Central gives you the ability to identify and stop fraudulent activities by analyzing your POS transactions and sales patterns. To achieve this a set of predefined triggers are used, such as:

refund to cash
discounts over a given amount
sales outside of opening hours

These events can be analyzed together with other parameters, for example by store, POS, staff, and date and time. In one easy-to-read dashboard you’ll be able to identify any recurring pattern or loss issue to resolve it.

What is your single biggest opportunity to improve profit this week/month? Which products are the 10 top sellers that are most likely to go out of stock before your next re-order? Which items in each of your stores have the biggest impact on sales of other products?
With the Sales Performance Indicator, you can build various dashboards to answer these questions and more. You will be able to understand where customers are making purchases, identify trends, and invest resources where they’ll have the most impact.
