A system that supports the vision

Deacons’ vision is to “passionately connect customers to their desired lifestyle”. Deacons decided to implement a management system that could support their retail strategy. The company came across LS NAV, and realized that the system was the perfect one-stop-shop for their needs. The most important features when it came to selection were LS NAV’s powerful, flexible POS, and the presence of much-needed functionalities such as back office management, support for loyalty programs, integration with e-commerce and mobility solutions – all in one system.

Deacons engaged Just Dynamics Software Solutions, an LS Retail partner based in South Africa, to manage the implementation and breathe life into its customer experience.
