New Offering to Empower Retailers With Versatile Mobile Apps
for the Shopper to Use Outside or Inside the Store, Aimed at
Enhancing Shopper Engagement and Increasing Sales
DALLAS, Jan. 16, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Retalix(R) Ltd.
(Nasdaq:RTLX), a leading global provider of innovative software and
services for retailers, has released Retalix 10 Mobile Shopper, a new
set of mobile applications that connect consumers to the retailer
ecosystems and to their favorite local store. Mobile Shopper includes
the ability for consumers to manage their shopping inside and outside
the store at any time, to find store locations, to access product
information and pricing, view special offers, scan items, perform
payments, and more. This new mobile offering builds on Retalix's
unparalleled expertise in retail to provide retailers with advanced
technological and business capabilities in a world transformed by the
digital lifestyle.
Today, when social consumers are constantly connected to the people,
organizations and information they value most-and mobile applications
have quickly become the popular means to manage these
relationships-Retalix 10 Mobile Shopper is designed to help retailers
meet customer expectations and enhance their engagement.
Mobile Shopper is designed to provide value throughout the entire
shopping cycle, enabling the shopper to: prepare shopping lists before
entering stores, easily perform real-time price and item availability
checks, scan items by themselves, and pay for them directly from the
mobile device via a variety of payment methods, including at fuel
forecourts, thus reducing checkout time, and finally, receive a digital
receipt. Retailers can tie Mobile Shopper to any loyalty and customer
management program, enabling them to offer targeted promotions and
coupons, and allowing shoppers to access and manage their loyalty
account information online.
A unique benefit of the Mobile Shopper is its ability to serve as a
store touch-point, completely integrated with the specific store
platform and database, as opposed to being a separate siloed channel.
This innovative feature enables a range of additional benefits, such as
a unified shopper experience at the store, and access to store-specific
promotions.
Powered by Retalix 10 Store Suite and Retalix's patent-pending Shopper
Gateway software, Retalix 10 Mobile Shopper applications run on the
popular mobile platforms, including iPhone, Android and Windows Phone
devices, and can be integrated to any retailer store environment.
"Retalix 10 Mobile Shopper is yet another exciting step in Retalix's
offerings, helping retailers to provide a superior shopping experience
that is unified across all shopper touch points and sales channels,"
says Shuky Sheffer, Retalix chief executive officer. "With the new
Retalix 10 Mobile Shopper apps, we believe that retailers can now
better serve digital-minded shoppers, stay well ahead of the
competition and strongly differentiate their brand in the mobile
ecosystem."
