“Digitalization has become even more urgent than before, and the need for unified commerce solutions is more compelling than ever. This puts LS Retail and Aptos in a prime position to increase market share and help more customers around the world,” Mr. Norddahl said.
Until the transaction closes in February, LS will operate as an independent subsidiary of Aptos.
