DALLAS — Maines Paper and Food Service, Inc. will provide enhanced delivery capabilities and customer service to its clientele with Retalix(R) Ltd.'s Power Delivery solution. The software application will track shipments from Maines' warehouses to their customers' receiving doors, while providing proof of delivery, mobile delivery capabilities, efficient invoice reconciliation and increased accuracy.
The system will go live in 2012 and will support 11 Maines warehouses that deliver to clients in 33 states throughout the United States.

"Power Delivery will help us improve our delivery accuracy, enhance our traceability initiatives, and provide greater visibility into our warehousing and delivery activities–all while reducing costs across our enterprise," said Sumit Koli, director of performance improvement at Maines. "In addition, the ability to easily and seamlessly integrate Power Delivery with our existing deployment of Retalix Warehouse Management, combined with Retalix's industry experience and commitment to partnership, made our decision easy."

Maines is among the top companies in the industry leading the charge for more effective traceability processes and technologies in the supply chain.
