Retalix USA, subsidiary of Retalix (Nasdaq: RTLX; TASE: RTLX), announced today that Wesco Convenience Stores' self-distributed operator, Wesco on the Go, has selected the Retalix DemandAnalytX (DAX) demand forecasting and replenishment solution for a company-wide implementation. No value was disclosed.
DAX utilizes unique algorithms to interpret point of sale (POS) sales data and inventory data, forecast store-level demand and optimize replenishment orders.
Wesco operates self-distribution to its 51 convenience stores in the state of Michigan. The company has been using the Power Enterprise software suite, which was developed by IDS and acquired by Retalix in 2005. Retalix noted that Wesco is the first customer to integrate DAX with Power Enterprise.
Project work is already under way and the first stores will go live in the first quarter of 2006. The roll-out to the full chain will be completed in the first half of 2006.
Wesco began in 1952 as Westgate Refinery Outlet. In 1978 the first convenience store was opened in Michigan, and is now known as Wesco Convenience Stores. Wesco has over 900 employees with annual revenue of $25 million.
