Impact-Soft, the Russian retail automation leader has announced the opening of the first network drugstore “Stariy Lekar”, fully automated with LS Retail.

After a short implementation phase, Impact-Soft’s engineers together with the Retail Network staff have successfully started up the LS Retail solution (based on Microsoft Dynamics™ NAV)  in the first automated drugstore in Moscow that was opened recently,. In the drugstore there are 3 POS terminals that run on Microsoft Dynamics NAV and LS Retail.

Impact-Soft and the Vitim Company (which owns the Russian Drugstore Retail Network “Stariy Lekar”) have signed a contract for implementing the LS Retail solution for distributed retail chains. There are currently more than 70 “Stariy Lekar” drugstores in Moscow and the Moscow area. There are plans to open about 30 new drugstores in the chain. All new and already opened ones will be automated with LS Retail, so in the near future there will be about 100 drugstores with 500 POS terminals.
“The LS Retail solution meets all the requirements that our growing business demands and it is integrated with Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Impact-Soft is the best Microsoft partner in retail solutions and this is why we have chosen LS Retail and Impact-Soft” says Oxana Vigante, head of Vitim IT department.
