A Lightspeed Case Study
Boutique Ciconia is a two-floor, neighborhood children's boutique in Montreal founded by Olivier Monfret and François Laurin. With seven mostly part-time employees, the owners needed to deliver consistently high-touch service, manage special orders and inventory intelligently, plan staffing by hour, and expand their online presence without adding full-time management overhead.
They implemented Lightspeed POS with an integrated web store, dashboard, invoice notes, easy special-order and warehouse-hold workflows, and robust reporting. The system gives staff manager-level visibility, speeds onboarding, ensures accurate orders (special orders account for 10–15% of sales), and provides real-time sales and inventory insights for better buying, discounting, staffing and online expansion—resulting in more efficient operations and stronger customer service that drives repeat visits.
