LightEco Solar Solutions has established itself as an industry leader in renewable energy.

Also, simplify its operations in order to meet the increasing demands efficiently.

Their business model is a combination of retail sales in physical stores as well as online sales through their website. However managing both channels effectively was a major challenge, particularly when their business expanded.

The Business Challenge

LightEco Solar Solutions relied heavily on Lightspeed POS for their retail store management. Lightspeed POS, renowned for its strong retail POS capabilities as well as the Lightspeed API.
