Headquartered in Montreal, Lightspeeds team is distributed across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, now serving over 150,000 locations worldwide.
Lightspeed POS maintains a unique edge over other companies of its type because it has secured the legal rights for the sole use of certain technologies.
