Gartner defines Tier 2 retailers are “multichannel retailers that conduct business in any geography, have brick-and-mortar stores as one of many operating channels and generate annual retail revenue of $500 million to $2.99 billion”.

In specific, the report mentions LS Central, LS Retail’s unified retail platform. Built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, LS Central powers over 100,000 retail and hospitality locations in 157 countries.

“LS Retail has been through tremendous growth in recent years,” says Kristjan Johannsson, General Manager at LS Retail. In February 2023, LS Retail was named one of the ten largest point of sale software suppliers in the world by research and consulting firm RBR. “We are excited, but not entirely surprised, to see LS Retail acknowledged by Gartner. We have just closed the most successful year in our company’s history, and we are seeing more and more globally-known retailers approach us because they have heard of the benefits of LS Central.”
