Retalix Expands Transportation Software Solutions For Grocers And Food Distributors

Dallas, TX - Retalix , a global provider of software solutions for distributors and retailers, has expanded its Supply Chain offerings to fulfill the critical transportation requirements of inbound traffic, yard management and dock scheduling for grocers and distributors. Chuck Bealke, vice president of transportation solutions, leads this initiative.

The Retalix Transportation suite can be deployed independently or in conjunction with one another to help grocers and distributors optimize their warehouse and supply-chain operations. These solutions include:

Retalix Traffic Management (RTM) -- provides comprehensive inbound freight management for planning, procurement, execution, settlement, visibility and supplier control, while delivering strong ROI by identifying new backhaul and customer pickup opportunities. -- Retalix Dock Scheduling (RDS) -- uses appointment-scheduling functions to optimize resources, predict labor demands, facilitate carrier scheduling via the Web and streamline the flow of goods through the distribution center. -- Retalix Yard & Dock Management (RYDM) -- fully automates the yard and dock management process using advanced predictive logic and optimization algorithms. The software eliminates operational silos and synchronizes yard and dock activity with distribution center demand in real-time.

"A highly efficient and effective supply chain is critical to the profitability of grocers and distributors alike," said Ray Carlin, executive vice president of Retalix USA. "Our expanded and integrated Transportation Solution set is designed to provide the necessary technology tools and supply chain visibility that grocers and distributors require to better manage and improve their operations."

The Retalix software is adaptable to distributors of all sizes, and the company offers multiple configuration options. Customers can either deploy the solutions directly, or subscribe to the modules through a hosted software-as- a-service (SaaS) model.

The Retalix Transportation Solutions are presented at the Retalix Synergy 2007 Global Conference, October 28-30 at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas.
