Retalix (Nasdaq: RTLX) today announced that Paz Oil Company had selected the Retalix StorePoint store solution with integrated fuel and food service modules to be installed in all its fuel stations throughout Israel. No value was disclosed.
Paz operates 245 fuel stations in Israel, as well as 45 convenience stores that operate under the Yellow banner. Retalix StorePoint is currently installed in all Yellow convenience stores.
Retalix says StorePoint will allow Paz to manage its large multi-format sites through a single software solution, supporting stand alone fuel stations, fuel stations combined with food service, fuel management support for both self service and/or an attendant full service forecourt.
A new StorePoint feature for Paz incorporates standard point-of-sale capabilities at the pump, using the pump terminal as the checkout display. This capability allows Paz employees to sell in-store products at the fuel pump.
Paz IT Director Moshe Sabag said, "PAZ is focusing on the transformation of the petrol station into a center of commercial activities. We have selected Retalix's StorePoint solution because of its ability to support this strategic marketing initiative."
Retalix CEO Barry Shaked said, " Paz will be the first to implement an innovative system from Retalix that allows the attendant to utilize the pump terminal as a point of sale terminal selling non-fuel products at the fueling island.”
