Retail and food service software for ferries, duty free and travel retail

For a travel retail business – no matter if you manage ferries, a chain of retail stores in train stations, or large duty free stores and cafés in an airport- if a product is not available when a customer visits, that sale may be lost forever. LS Retail software simplifies inventory management, and uses advanced tools like artificial intelligence algorithms to spot trends and ensure you always carry the items people look for.

For time-strapped travelers, quick service is a necessity. With LS Retail software you can close sales, take payments in any currency and even advise customers on the spot, on handheld devices. You can even tie online and offline, and let people buy beforehand and pick up their purchases in your store, at the gate – wherever they want.

Easily manage the most complex tax, pricing and product allowances according to various legislations: the software automatically applies the appropriate rules based on the traveler’s nationality and travel route.

Decrease complexity, boost your sales, and increase your efficiency in your stores, restaurants, vessels, and everywhere your customers are.

Our software solution is ideal for:

i-airport
Travel retail stores in airports and train stations

i-ferry
Trains, airplanes, ferries, cruise boats

i-traveller
Businesses selling retail items, food and services to travelers

i-duty-free-1
