Moto, the UK‘s market leader service company for freeway/motorway travelers have selected Microsoft Dynamics AX and LS Retail as their strategic ERP solution for more than 50 hybrid catering/retail/forecourt sites.

Moto have chosen Capgemini, LS Retail’s business partner, to design, plan and implement their Dynamics AX ERP solution.

The final two products under consideration were SAP Retail and Dynamics AX with LS Retail.

‘We are being asked to advise on suitable alternatives to the historic ERP solutions, based around total cost of ownership and flexibility. Dynamics AX 4.0 is ideal for this because it provides a flexible platform, which adapts to the changing requirements of our clients own business processes. And we saw this recently in a recent win with an organization called Moto, who are the market leader, and the largest provider of motorway services in the UK, and they've recently -- and this was in the last three weeks -- selected Dynamics AX and LS Retail as their strategic platform of choice for over 50 hybrid sites in the UK. This is a large scale implementation.’, said Simon Thomason: Vice President, Microsoft Business Unit, Capgemini at the Dynamics AX 4.0 launch in Boston, Massachusetts, July 2006, which included launch remarks by Steve Ballmer: Chief Executive Officer, Microsoft Corporation, Satya Nadella, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Business Solutions and Greg Lush, Chief Information Officer, The Linc Group.

He continued: ‘...and we win those kinds of opportunities together not because we massively undercut on price, and not because we take a classic cookie cutter approach or a template approach. We win because we provide an innovative and flexible solution..” 

Ingvar Kristinsson, MD LS Retail Team says: ‘LS Retail AX is a powerful retail solution built on Microsoft Dynamics AX. This integrated solution delivers the breadth and depth of functionality demanded by the busiest retailer without the need to build, manage and maintain multiple applications and interfaces. It controls the fundamental aspects of your retail business from head office level and creates the link between the POS Terminals and Microsoft Dynamics AX. This sets LS Retail AX apart from other solutions in the market. We are very proud to be the first-choice selection for Moto and have full assurance in our partner, CapGemini.’
