Steve J.: Hi, I'm Steve. I'm a business owner, and I give Lightspeed Retail five out of five stars. For more reviews, click below. Before our Lightspeed Retail, we had EMSI, which didn't work for us, because we were looking for a cloud-based solution, something that was a little bit more flexible that we could take offsite and use easier. Lightspeed fills that need very well. For us, Lightspeed offers the flexibility of working offsite or onsite. It offers 24-hour tech support, and it's constantly adding new features and responding to suggestions from its customer base. The onboarding process for Lightspeed was easy, straight ahead. As long as you're familiar with exporting documents through an Excel sheet, you can upload them right there and into your new system. If you're considering Lightspeed Retail, make sure that all your data is organized and effective. That way you can make an easier transition into the new system.
