around the world."
Yesterday's event, hosted at the New York Stock Exchange,
featured the following highlights of Lightspeed's business and
vision for future expansion:
- Introducing the New Flagship Lightspeed Restaurant
Solution: By integrating the core Lightspeed Restaurant
solution with features from its recent acquisitions, including
private blockchain technology, best-in-class analytics and
ingredient management, the business is positioned to drive
significant value for restaurant owners with the global rollout of
its new flagship.
- Streamlining the Supply Chain with Lightspeed Supplier
Network: Lightspeed will give retailers direct access to
suppliers, providing on-demand and endless inventory, and creating
sell-through data visibility and better control of distribution for
the benefit of suppliers.
- Delivering significantly upgraded omnichannel capabilities
in the one-stop Lightspeed Retail platform: Lightspeed now
offers a full range of omnichannel and "headless" commerce
experiences enabling merchants to sell in-store and via online,
social and marketplace channels.
- Building out financial services and data services across the
ecosystem: With momentum from Lightspeed Payments rollouts in
EMEA and APAC and a growing Lightspeed Capital product, Lightspeed
plans to continue to expand its financial services and data
services offerings across the ecosystem.
Lightspeed President JP Chauvet said, "Leveraging
our strong customer footprint, Lightspeed has an enviable runway of
growth ahead in a large and evolving market. Our differentiated
cloud commerce system uniquely positions Lightspeed to continue
driving merchant value. As we look to become the world's leading
omnichannel platform in our target verticals, we believe we can
redefine commerce by uniting merchant, supplier and consumer
