LS Nav: Legacy POS and ERP system

LS Nav was LS Retail’s original flagship POS and retail management solution, built on Microsoft Dynamics NAV. For many years, it helped retailers and hospitality businesses run store operations, back office, inventory, and financials in one integrated system.

As Microsoft evolved Dynamics NAV into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, LS Retail followed the same path. In 2019, LS Nav was officially rebranded and rebuilt as LS Central.

Since then, LS Nav has been discontinued and is no longer maintained, while LS Central has continued to evolve into a significantly more advanced, modern retail platform.

From LS Nav to LS Central: what changed?

LS Central is not a parallel product, it is the direct successor to LS Nav.

While LS Central carries forward the core capabilities that LS Nav users are familiar with, it has been continuously enhanced over the years with:

Deeper and more modern retail and hospitality functionality
Improved performance, scalability, and usability
Ongoing updates aligned with Microsoft’s product roadmap
Support for modern deployment models and integrations

LS Nav, by contrast, remains a legacy system tied to older versions of Dynamics NAV and does not receive new functionality.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV vs Dynamics 365 Business Central

Microsoft ended the Dynamics NAV product line with Dynamics NAV 2018, which was the final NAV release. From that point forward, Microsoft’s ERP development continued exclusively under Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Because LS Nav was built on Dynamics NAV, its evolution was naturally limited. LS Central, however, is built on Dynamics 365 Business Central and benefits from:

Continuous Microsoft platform innovation
Modern cloud capabilities
Long-term product support and security updates

What if you are still running LS Nav?

If your business is still using LS Nav, this means:

Your solution is based on a legacy ERP platform
No new LS Retail functionality is being released for LS Nav
Long-term innovation, performance improvements, and platform updates are no longer available

While existing LS Nav installations can continue to operate, they are increasingly constrained by outdated technology and limited upgrade paths.

Should you upgrade to LS Central?

For most LS Nav customers, upgrading to LS Central is the recommended next step.

LS Central is built on the same functional foundation as LS Nav, which means:

Familiar workflows and business logic
A smoother transition compared to switching platforms entirely
The ability to modernize without starting from scratch

At the same time, LS Central gives you access to ongoing product development, new retail capabilities, and a platform designed to support growth, scalability, and future integration needs.
