Why LS Central
Built on the globally-trusted Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central platform, LS Central enables complete control of all business processes – from purchasing to warehousing, distribution, marketing, in-store sales, financials and franchise data – from a single platform.
Initially, the company’s decision to implement LS Central was based on it being an internationally recognised retail solution, which ensured access to extensive feedback and reviews. Knowing the role AI would be playing in the future, Tayob also felt that because LS Central is built on Microsoft technology, it had an edge over some of the competitor products and solutions, given that they had been actively planning for and investing in AI for many years. Another draw card was the familiarity which comes with the Microsoft interface which the company was already familiar with, and the integration possible across its solutions stack.
Partnering With Braintree
Tayob says that since partnering with Braintree, Lazkam has had very few issues. “Maintenance and implementation is something that Braintree does very well,” he says.
In order to minimise risks and ensure a smoother transition, Lazkam chose a staggered approach with their transition to LS Central. Tayob says that while running parallel systems was challenging, it is still an approach he would recommend, providing a layer of security and control during the transition to new software.
About Lazkam
Lazkam, a wholesaler in the ready-made garments and textile space, was looking for an all-in-one software solution that could consolidate sales, inventory, customer information and accounting within their business. This textile company, with a majority B2B focus, imports and supplies clothing to South African chains and family stores, as well as supplying customers across the border.
