LIGHTSPEED RETAILįorward Multimedia offers a complete solution for both physical and online stores via Lightspeed Retail. With the local online market exponentially increasing in the pandemic era, there’s no Trini business that’s not eyeing E-Commerce at some point… some as a strategy, others for survival. Others then followed: iWorld Trinidad, and the very popular apparel store in South, Michael’s & Jody’s (FAC) at Gulf City Mall, Cost Savers (Scotia eCom+), and more recently and under development, City Furniture which has 6 stores nationwide. The company was Super Technologies where we integrated WiPay. Forward Multimedia’s first introduction to Lightspeed came from a client looking for payment integration, back in 2019. Over the past few years, Lightspeed has steadily been increasing their footprint in T&T, somehow being independently found by local businesses. With teams across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, the company serves retail, hospitality and golf businesses in over 100 countries, including, of course, Trinidad & Tobago.

In our experience, available connectors or plug-ins are very expensive, and workarounds via our own scripts and programming though workable, have not been optimal. While there are a couple of popular players, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) generally find their systems out of reach, being expensive to set-up and maintain, and opt for lesser or even obscure brands.Īs a Web Design/E-Commerce solution provider, the issue that Forward Multimedia has been facing with POS systems, is their ability to connect and sync with an online store. The local market for Point of Sale systems in Trinidad & Tobago is fragmented, with no one brand dominating. Lightspeed is a single brand that supports a complex global offering across multiple industries and regions via a robust product ecosystem. Forward Multimedia is now an official Lightspeed Partner, making it easy for you to sell online with a one-stop eCom platform built to grow your business in Trinidad & Tobago and beyond.
