Retalix Offers SMR Version of Its Successful Convenience Store Software Solution

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2005--Retalix® USA (NASDAQ:RTLX - News) announced today that the highly successful Retalix StorePoint(TM) suite of applications, a leading automation solution for large-size Convenience Store chains, is now offered in a simpler and easier-to-implement fashion for small and medium-sized retail (SMR) chains.

Retalix StorePoint, with 11,000 installations in 25 countries, is an integrated software solution for operators of convenience stores, fueling stations and quick service restaurants worldwide. Retalix StorePoint bundles Point-of-sale (POS), Back Office, Host Processing, Fuel interfaces, Credit Authorization, and more into a single, end-to-end, synchronized solution. As a part of the SMR initiative, Retalix also announced that it would bundle hardware for prospective customers, including point of sale and server hardware.

In conjunction with the new SMR offering, Retalix is also developing an affordable implementation methodology designed to speed up and simplify the successful deployment of Retalix StorePoint for SMR organizations. With this new capability, full chain-wide implementations for SMR organizations will be possible within 90 days, allowing these organizations to benefit from the Retalix StorePoint applications more quickly.

"No longer will small and medium-sized chains have to settle for technology that is inferior to that of larger, national chains," said Todd P. Michaud, Executive Vice President, Marketing and Product Management, Retalix USA. "We intend to offer SMR organizations the most comprehensive headquarters and store operations suite available in the marketplace."

An important feature of the SMR StorePoint release involves supply chain management. Since most SMR organizations in the North American convenience industry are wholesale supplied, the SMR version of Retalix StorePoint will support supply chain integration and synchronization capabilities with the Retalix Power Enterprise software portfolio. Retalix Power Enterprise is the leading enterprise software solution in the North American convenience products distribution industry today.

"Our ongoing strategy consists of leveraging the Company's industry leading position in the retail and distribution segments to enable our customers to communicate and work more efficiently and productively with each other," emphasized Mr. Michaud. "With this newest release of Retalix StorePoint, inventory information, orders, and pricing will flow seamlessly between Retalix StorePoint retail customers and Retalix Power Enterprise distribution customers."
