LS One 2019 - The SAP Business One integration is here!

It’s with great pleasure that we announce the release of LS One 2019. It’s been more than a year since our last release, and during this time we have been extremely busy developing exciting functionality that we are confident will help you sell more LS One licenses than ever before.

Integration to SAP Business One

The LS One and SAP Business One teams have spent more than 15 months integrating the two solutions. We believe all this work was well worth it. In the past, LS One customers had to heavily invest into costly and time-consuming integrations when they needed to connect LS One with an accounting/ERP solution. Today, LS One customers can buy a pre-configured “LS One for SAP Business One POS” SKU that comes with all the plugins to connect to an existing SAP Business One (version 9.3) ERP solution, and be up and running in minutes – selling, and taking advantage of the best that both solutions offer.

The integration means that all information – including item master, business contacts, trade agreements, taxes, barcodes and more – is synchronized in real time between the two systems, with no extra work needed. LS One will cleverly book all transactions into the assigned GL accounts in SAP Business One.

Do you have a customer who needs a cost-effective way of integrating a world-class POS solution to a world-class ERP solution? Then don’t hesitate to suggest them the joint LS One-SAP Business One offering. To see more information click here.

Improvements to inventory performance

LS One customers range from single stores to multi-store enterprise environments. For many of our customers, it is essential to be able to process large quantities of items, for example when doing stock counting, store transfers and Purchase Orders. For this reason, we have redesigned our web services to optimize speed and effectiveness of our inventory functionality. Calculations that previously took ten minutes can now be performed in a matter of seconds. We also implemented multi-threading, so now more than one process can run at the same time. These are improvements that will bring substantial time savings to retailers. To see more information click here.

Powerful reporting with PowerBI

Our customers demanded better insights into their business processes. We listened. We have developed new PowerBI templates, which are available for all LS One customers and partners, for free. The process is simple: download the template, connect it to your SQL instance of LS One, and choose among a wide variety of reports – including an extensive data model of almost all business artifacts in LS One.

Do you need a special report which is not included in the standard template? No problem. Use the data model we provide and create your own reports within seconds. And as PowerBI runs in the cloud, you can access all your LS One reports wherever you are, using any browser.

LS One Learning center

Providing partners and customer with support that exceeds expectations is one of our top priorities. We have taken all our help content and packaged it in a new online Learning Center. If you have any questions on LS One, this is where you will find your answers.

Is any information missing in the Learning Center? Please let us know! We will be constantly adding new information, and your feedback will help us make this a truly useful resource for our partners and customers.
