New LS Retail standard: Warranty hotel

LS Retail is proud to present a world first as standard in POS terminal systems: Warranty Hotel is a solution that enables retail chain stores to offer digital storage of their customer's warranty cards. Many people are familiar with the scenario when an appliance, bike, PC or another item still under warranty breaks down and the warranty card or proof of purchase is lost. The store needs documentation that the claim is within the warranty period but the customer, who feels that his claim is justified, cannot provide it. Warranty Hotel solves this problem once and for all.

Het Natuurhuis works more efficiently with better prices to customers

Het Natuurhuis is an organic supermarket in Belgium that sells organic food, organic non-food products, food supplements, plant extracts and natural cosmetics. This family business has two branches in Antwerp and Merksem in Belgium, with a staff of twenty-three. Het Natuurhuis was looking for a way of changing data-handling at both its branches to make it more centralized and integrated. It also needed a central overview of the customer database. Thanks to LS Retail, everything now runs centrally. Whenever something is changed in Merksem, this is automatically passed on to the branch in Antwerp. Now they save a lot of time and have much less administrative work. Furthermore with the extensive database which is kept up-to-date systematically, Het Natuurhuis can immediately see which suppliers are offering discounts at which time. This means customers are also always getting the best prices.
