Retail is an integrated solution that is designed for Microsoft Dynamics AX. You can use Microsoft Dynamics AX to manage a retail business from the head office to the stores.

Retail includes the following programs:

The Retail module in Microsoft Dynamics AX.
Microsoft Dynamics AX for Retail POS – The point of sale (POS) program for the registers in the stores.
Commerce Data Exchange: Synch Service – The program that periodically sends transaction information between the head office and the stores.
Commerce Data Exchange: Real-time Service – The program that sends real-time information between the head office and the stores.
The Microsoft Dynamics AX Commerce Runtime delivers multi-channel commerce capability that has uniform extensibility. It facilitates business processing between the head office and online stores and between the head office and retail (brick-and-mortar) stores.
