RA'ANANA, Israel, October 15 /PRNewswire/ --

- UK's Fourth Largest Supermarket Group Will Deploy Retalix' Integrated 
Point-Of-Sale, Store and Fuel System

Retalix(R) Ltd. (NASDAQ: RTLX), a leading provider of software solutions
for retailers and distributors, announced today that Morrisons (LSE: MRW),
the UK's fourth largest supermarket group, will deploy Retalix software to
increase operational efficiency and enhance the shopping experience across
its 378 stores and 285 filling stations.

In 2007, Morrisons announced a three-year IT investment program to
replace legacy systems with best of breed software solutions. Currently
Morrisons uses four different systems for the different POS functional areas
in its stores - the checkout lanes, in-store quick service restaurants, dry
cleaning service counters and fueling sites.

After a thorough evaluation process of store systems, Morrisons selected
an integrated system of Retalix software applications that includes Retalix
StoreLine point-of-sale (POS), quick-service-restaurant (QSR) and
self-checkout applications for the stores, as well as Retalix Fuel for its
fueling sites. In addition, Morrisons will use Retalix software to automate
its back-office cash management process.

"Morrisons requires proven, world-class retail systems to achieve our
business requirements for profitable growth today and in the future," said
Gary Barr, IT Director at Morrisons. "We found that Retalix most suitably
meets our needs, providing us with a single store system that is capable of
delivering all of the functionality required to serve our customers and
colleagues through an efficient, flexible, resilient and scalable solution
which meets our current and future business requirements."

"The Retalix system provides scalability and flexibility to support
stores of varying sizes with different selling formats and is rich with
features and functionality," Mr. Barr added. "The new store system from
Retalix will help us deliver an enhanced shopping experience to the 10
million customers that walk through our doors each week."

"We are delighted to be partnering with Morrisons, which is a very
distinguished addition to the large and growing list of top food retailers
worldwide that use Retalix software to achieve superior retail performance
and to enable growth and expansion," said Barry Shaked, chief executive
officer of Retalix.
