('Eurovestech' or 'the Company')
Partnership Agreement
Eurovestech's wholly owned subsidiary KSS Retail Limited ('KSS Retail'), a
leading supplier of science-based pricing intelligence, optimisation and
modeling solutions to the grocery, convenience retail, chain drug and mass
retail industries has signed a partnership agreement with Retalix to provide
grocers a comprehensive solution for price management.
KSS Retail today announced a partnership with Retalix(R) (Nasdaq: RTLX), a
global provider of software solutions for retailers and distributors to provide
grocers with a 'holistic' price management offering, which includes the creation
of an overall pricing strategy, the execution and analysis of price management,
and a science-based price optimisation system.
The companies will combine a range of strategic consulting offerings and
advanced technology solutions to help grocers execute effective price management
programs that include:
• Price Strategy Development, a solution that is tailored to a retailer's
unique competitive environment and designed to enhance price image, while
driving sales and sustainable profits.
• Price Strategy Execution and Analysis via Retalix HQ/Store software,
Retalix's central and store-level rules-based item pricing and inventory
management solution, which controls, automates and analyzes store pricing
strategies.
• Price Optimisation using KSS Retail's PriceStrat product that leverages
proven scientific algorithms to generate optimised regular and promotional
prices. The system uses product elasticity, cannibalism and affinity
cross-effects combined with mathematical relationships and business rules.
'We forged this partnership to better respond to the industry's requirement to
establish and manage prices on an end-to-end basis. Grocers operate in extremely
competitive environments where every penny counts, and this holistic approach to
the price lifecycle process will enable retailers of all sizes to realize
incremental gross profit dollars without sacrificing sales,' said Ray Carlin,
executive vice president for Retalix USA. 'Grocers now have a comprehensive
price management solution that helps them develop a sound strategy and execute
on that strategy through automation, optimisation and integration.'
'The combined competencies of Retalix and KSS Retail provide our customers with
a truly holistic approach to pricing, ranging from strategy to optimisation to
execution,' said Lance Jacobs, chief executive officer of KSS Retail. 'We are
excited to partner with these market leaders and provide solutions to retailers
that strengthen their competitive position, drive significant additional
profitability and ensure execution to strategy.'
