Enterprise power without enterprise complexity
LS Retail is a unified POS and ERP platform built on Microsoft Dynamics 365. It is powerful — but for most Maltese restaurants and retailers, that power comes with unnecessary complexity and cost. Here is how Twine compares.
Why businesses choose Twine over LS Retail
Built for SMBs, not enterprises
Twine is designed for restaurants and retailers that need powerful features without enterprise complexity. LS Retail requires Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central licensing on top of its own fees.
Fast to deploy
Twine can be set up in a day. LS Retail implementations typically take weeks or months due to the Dynamics 365 platform underneath.
Transparent pricing
Twine offers clear monthly pricing. LS Retail requires custom quotes and additional Dynamics 365 licensing, making total cost difficult to predict.
Delivery integration
Twine integrates natively with Wolt and Bolt. LS Retail does not offer delivery platform integration for the Maltese market.
