Market Basket completes rollout of Retalix Store Level forecasting and auto-replenishment solution

Grocery Retailer Increases Order Efficiency and Reduces Out of Stocks

DALLAS, TX, July 22, 2004 -- Retalix USA (Nasdaq:RTLX) announced today that Market Basket, a supermarket chain in Texas and Louisiana, completed the rollout of Retalix's DemandAnalytx store forecasting and ordering system.

Retalix's DemandAnalytx (DAX) Demand-chain Optimization Software allows retailers, manufacturers and distributors to achieve dramatic improvements in key metrics of supply chain performance. The DAX solution is fully web-enabled, and provides collaborative tools at the store level to utilize sophisticated algorithms to interpret POS data, forecast store-level demand and optimize replenishment orders, while taking into account the full complexity of the retail environment.

"Our stores have never looked better, and the results we've achieved using the Retalix DemandAnalytx (DAX) software solution have exceeded our expectations," said Skylar Thompson, President of Market Basket. "The success of our initial pilot made it an easy decision to continue to roll out this order optimization system across the rest of our stores. The store managers were lining up to be the next site installed." Tom Cormier, Market Basket's CFO, added, "This has been one of the smoothest software implementations I've ever been involved with. The level of support we received throughout the project was tremendous."

"DemandAnalytx offers a fast, robust and flexible forecasting and ordering platform for supermarket and convenience store operators," said Barry Shaked, Retalix CEO. "Leveraging Point of Sale data, DAX is able to create a very accurate forecast of store specific consumer demand. This forecast provides the means to drive an efficient order, which helps reduce out-of-stocks, and increases return on inventory investment. The success at Market Basket is validation that Retalix's continued investment to gain downstream supply chain efficiencies with products like DemandAnalytx (DAX) Store Level Replenishment technology, will drive new efficiencies and cost savings for all of our customers."
