Excellent solution for Small to Mid sized Retail Operations

What do you like best?

Lightspeed makes it easy for us to complete transactions and use the data to our benefit. We have chosen to pair the POS module with Lightspeed eCommerce, Lightspeed Accounting and Lightspeed Analytics. The best thing about these components is that they talk to each other automatically making it easy to take care of bookkeeping, accept online orders and utilize sales data for forecasting and tracking. The fact that there's an open source API means that if you have an idea for a custom program, any developer can help make it a reality. Customer service is always fantastic and if they don't have an answer for your issue, it will be followed up on in short order. Highly recommended.

What do you dislike?

Unfortunately, there are still a few workarounds that we are using. However, Lightspeed, unlike many software companies, actually listens to suggestions from their clients. I've been a part of 2 beta tests for new features that have proven to be very beneficial. There is a suggestions website that allows you to offer ideas to improve the software and collaborate with other users for solutions.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Take the time to prepare your data before migrating it over to Lightspeed. It will make the import much cleaner and easier to implement expeditiously. If using the accounting feature (highly recommended) with Quickbooks or any other accounting software, make sure your bookkeeper or accountant is involved so that they can easily navigate the information that is being downloaded.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

The software we used previously was local server based and was not readily accessible remotely. Not to mention- we'd be in BIG trouble if anything happened to the server network. Now we can easily process transactions via any internet connected device at tradeshows and other settings outside the shop. Processes are automated and we can choose which reports are sent to us at pre-determined frequencies using the Analytics add-on. The amount of time and labor it has saved us was well worth the investment.
