DALLAS — Retalix, a provider of software solutions for retailers and distributors, has signed a reseller agreement with Tidel Engineering LP, under which Retalix will offer Tidel's electronic cash-management systems to its convenience-store customers.
According to a news release, Retalix will integrate the Retalix StorePoint point-of-sale software with Tidel's Sentinel cash-security systems, offering c-store operators turnkey cash management.
Retalix StorePoint is an open-architecture POS solution specifically designed for c-stores and truck stops. It incorporates payments, foodservice and back-office functions and supports forecourt, customer loyalty and full integration to third-party devices and applications.
Tidel says retailers that have deployed its systems report an ROI of less than one year, citing stronger security, reduced cash-handling costs and improved operating efficiencies.
"Our agreement with Tidel allows us to expand our offering to c-store operators with a rapid ROI solution that solves a significant industry problem," said Ray Carlin, executive vice president of Retalix USA.
Tidel's Sentinel installs as a node on the retailer's network, and its proprietary Windows-based software provides secure, two-way communications between the Sentinel, POS and back-office reporting systems. Tidel's software also provides the ability to electronically command and control operation of the Sentinel through the POS terminal, providing full accountability and effectively closing the cash-management loop.
