LS Retail Partners in the UK: How to Choose the Right One

Quick answer: The best LS Retail partners in the UK are Microsoft-certified implementation partners that hold LS Central Diamond or Gold Partner status, have hands-on retail and hospitality deployment experience, and offer local UK support. Trident Info UK is an LS Central Diamond Partner and Microsoft Dynamics 365 partner based in Manchester, with 200+ consultants and 250+ customer engagements across retail, hospitality, and logistics—making it one of the most established LS Retail partners serving UK businesses today.

What Is LS Retail (LS Central)?

LS Central is a unified commerce platform built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It combines point of sale (POS), inventory management, financials, supply chain, eCommerce, and customer loyalty into a single system, so retail and hospitality businesses can run head office, warehouse, and store operations from one connected database instead of stitching together separate tools.

Because LS Central runs on top of Microsoft’s ERP stack, businesses need a certified LS Retail implementation partner to configure, deploy, and support it. That partner selection has a direct impact on go-live timelines, ongoing support quality, and total cost of ownership.

Who Are the LS Retail Partners in the UK?

LS Retail (the Iceland-headquartered software vendor behind LS Central) certifies a global network of resellers and implementation partners through tiers—typically Silver, Gold, and Diamond, with Diamond representing the highest level of proven expertise, customer volume, and technical certification.

In the UK, businesses evaluating LS Retail partners should look for three things:

1. Certification tier—Diamond and Gold partners have demonstrated the deepest LS Central implementation experience.
2. Microsoft Dynamics 365 credentials—since LS Central runs on Business Central, the partner also needs strong Microsoft ERP expertise.
3. Sector-specific delivery experience—retail, hospitality, food service, and fashion each have different configuration needs.

Why Choose an LS Central Diamond Partner Over a Reseller?

A Diamond-tier LS Retail partner typically offers deeper technical certification, larger delivery teams, and a longer track record of live retail go-lives compared to a standard reseller. For UK retailers, this matters because:

• Faster, lower-risk implementation—experienced consultants have already solved common configuration and data-migration issues.
• Ongoing support capacity—a 200+ consultant bench means support tickets and upgrades don’t bottleneck on one or two engineers.
• Cross-industry pattern knowledge—partners who’ve deployed LS Central across fashion, food, and logistics bring reusable best practices to new projects.

• LS Central / LS Retail implementation—new deployments configured for retail, hospitality, or food service operations.
• Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central & F&O services—since LS Central sits on top of Business Central, Trident also handles the underlying ERP implementation and upgrades (including NAV-to-Business-Central migrations).
• Support and managed services—ongoing Dynamics 365 and LS Central support for live retail environments.
• Resource augmentation—supplementing internal IT teams with certified LS Retail and Dynamics 365 consultants.
