RapidStart

LS Nav RapidStart is based on RapidStart Services for Microsoft Dynamics NAV with LS Retail add-ons. LS Nav RapidStart is a tool that enables LS Retail partners and customers to implement the LS Nav solution in a short time, using standardized data and templates. The solution is configurable so LS partners can add their own solutions and modify the standard RapidStart setup provided by LS Retail.

Some of the benefits of LS Nav RapidStart are:

  • Shorter implementation time using a packaged solution, setup wizard, predefined data and Excel templates
  • Modular design, adoptable to different industries and allowing partners to add their own solutions on top
  • Better estimates of implementation time by using a packaged solution and predefined steps
