From your POS, you can pull batch reports and settlements in real-time. Payments are monitored for suspicious activity and there is built-in active global fraud protection; Lightspeed keeps your revenue and your data safe.

  • Intelligent Inventory

    Lightspeed’s Inventory Management tools give you full omnichannel control of what you have in stock. It allows you to set up products in the eStore in bundles or packages, create product variations, and create special orders to meet individual customer needs. On set-up, you can bulk add up to 10,000 at once. The system keeps watch of your inventory levels, and you can set custom reorder points so you never run out of best-sellers. When you see what inventory has aged, you can introduce discount codes to move the stock. The smart analytics on your inventory can help you anticipate buyer trends and reduce your overheads.

  • Manage multiple locations

    Lightspeed doesn’t just allow you to connect your eStore and a single physical store. You can manage multiple physical locations as well as your eCommerce platform. As you grow, you can add more stores. When purchasing stock, you have the ability to generate one single invoice for all locations. Advanced customer data lets you access purchases across all locations and transfer items between stores for customers. You can see performance metrics for stores individually or all stores, and even lets you compare stores against one another.

  • Advanced Analytics

    Lightspeed Analytics examines your stock, customer experience and staff performance to suggest real business optimizations. Use the reports to see what’s selling and what’s not, if products sell better in one location over another, or see what stock is growing dusty (and needs to be sold). Track customer loyalty (including loyalty programs) and use the data to anticipate what they want and need. Staff analytics help you identify the strengths and weaknesses of your staff by tracking KPIs in your analytics software. You can ensure you have the right amount of people working at peak times and put them in the right spot to make more sales.
