LS Retail’s solutions are deployed in more than 110,000 stores, restaurants, pharmacies, and gas stations in over 150 countries, serving a diverse range of businesses from small retailers to major global brands.
LS Retail has a history spanning over three decades, during which it has established itself as a leader in retail technology. The company originated in Iceland and expanded its reach globally, building a reputation for reliability and innovation. In 2021, LS Retail was acquired by Aptos, a major player in omnichannel commerce solutions, which itself is owned by the Merchant Banking division of Goldman Sachs. Despite the acquisition, LS Retail continues to operate as an independent business unit, preserving its brand identity and partner-driven approach. The company has a strong international presence, with offices and partners across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America.
The acquisition by Aptos in 2021 marked a major expansion for LS Retail, bringing it into a broader ecosystem of commerce solutions. Since then, LS Retail has continued to enhance its product suite, introducing new modules and deeper integrations with cloud services and third-party platforms. The company has also launched mobile solutions, improved inventory management tools, and expanded support for eCommerce and omnichannel operations.
