Israeli firms Retalix and Super-Sol plan to establish a public B2B electronic marketplace in that will provide online collaboration services between Super-Sol, Israel's largest supermarket chain, and its suppliers.
At the heart of the initiative is the ReMA web-based platform. This platform streamlines the workflow between retailers and suppliers, with the goal of increasing supply chain efficiencies and reducing operating costs. ReMA's e-services include new product introductions, product pricing and promotion management, and assortment management between Super-Sol and its suppliers. Each supplier will be able to receive updated sales and inventory data regarding his items from Super-Sol's data warehouse, through an advanced OLAP system.
Super-Sol was established in 1957 and is a leading retail chain, influencing Israeli consumer trends. The chain currently has 170 stores under the brands Super-Sol, HyperNeto, Birkat Rakhel, Universe-Club, Cosmos and Net-Sal. Super-Sol shares are traded in Tel Aviv since 1981 and in the NYSE since 1997. — (menareport.com)
