Retalix and Postilion Announce Alliance to Deliver Integrated POS and Payment Switch for Travel Centers and Convenience Stores


Solution Will Improve Retailer Margins by Reducing Transaction Fees

DALLAS, Feb. 1 / -- Retalix® (NASDAQ:RTLX), a global provider of enterprise-wide software solutions for food retailers and distributors, today announced an alliance with Postilion, Inc. -- a global leader in managing financial transactions on multiple channels -- to deliver a state-of-the-art integrated commercial fueling solution for travel centers and an open-systems payment switch for credit and debit transactions for convenience stores.

The solution combines Retalix StorePoint, a leading software application for convenience stores, and its new Retalix Commercial Fueling module with Postilion Realtime, a payment switching engine that controls the payment, transaction authorization and settlement process in a streamlined and simplified manner -- in the store and throughout the client's enterprise.

"Retalix Commercial Fueling alleviates a significant pain point for travel centers, as it enables one system to manage all types of fueling transaction scenarios. There's less hardware in the store, less training required for employees and a simpler checkout process for customers. All the travel centers' unique sales flow processes are now automated," said Ray Carlin, executive vice president, Retalix USA.

Pierre Naude, GM of Postilion Americas, said, "Our combined solution embraces all aspects of payment from the POS to the processor or acquiring bank for authorization. The integration of Postilion Realtime with Retalix StorePoint has appeal to all convenience stores: Postilion is EMV certified, reduces post-transaction processing time and offers least-cost routing to provide relief from high transaction fees."
