Tesco to Realize Enhanced Business Agility, Increased
                    Flexibility and Reduced TCO

NEW YORK, Jan. 16, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Retalix(R) Ltd.
(Nasdaq:RTLX) announced today that Tesco Plc. (LSE:TSCO) will commence
the deployment of its next generation store platform following a
successful initial pilot of the Retalix 10 Store Suite software. Tesco,
the third largest grocery retailer in the world, has been a Retalix
business partner since 1995, and is operating a range of Retalix store
solutions across more than 4,000 stores in 11 countries.

"We are delighted with our choice of the Retalix 10 store suite which
we plan to implement in all of our stores worldwide," said Mike
McNamara, chief information officer of Tesco Plc. "Retalix 10 will form
the foundation of our store technology. Its extensible, service
oriented architecture allows us to add new features and services for
our customers at speed."

McNamara added, "Continuous innovation, operational efficiency and a
relentless focus on the customer have helped Tesco become one of the
world's largest and most successful retailers. Retalix is one of a very
small number of technology companies who we regard as strategic
partners in our efforts to improve the shopping trip for our
customers."

Shuky Sheffer, chief executive officer of Retalix, said, "Retalix is
proud to be Tesco's partner of choice for the deployment of their
future strategic store platform. This innovative suite will provide
Tesco with the industry--leading solutions that are required to operate
in today's competitive and fast-changing markets. I am positive that
Retalix 10 will enable Tesco to deliver a superior and seamless shopper
experience, as well as significant benefits of business agility and
operational efficiencies, supporting Tesco's goals. We greatly value
our partnership with Tesco, and will continue to be committed to
Tesco's success."

The Retalix 10 Store and Sales Channels suite is the next-generation
store platform from Retalix. Designed around a single software engine,
Retalix 10 unifies and streamlines deployment and management of
in-store systems, mobile commerce and online storefront channels. The
platform ensures a consistent and personalized shopping experience
across all touch points and sales channels, which include POS,
self-checkout, self-scanning, customer scale, customer kiosk, fuel
sales, mobile commerce and e-commerce, as well as a range of store and
chain management applications.

The solution's unique architecture enables high volume, high complexity
retailers to break away from systems requiring integration of disparate
'silos' into a unified platform for utmost flexibility, accelerated
time-to-market and enhanced central management capabilities. This
enables a variety of deployment options such as 'thin store', 'thin
POS', or any combination, as well as Cloud readiness, which opens up a
new world of lean operations and reduced TCO.

Tesco and Retalix at NRF's Big Show:

Mike McNamara will be presenting a "BIG !deas" session focusing on the
future of Tesco's retail IT strategies. Titled "Tesco is future ready
with the next-generation store solution from Retalix", the presentation
will be held on January 17th, 2012, at 9:30 a.m. at NRF's Big Show in
the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York.
