C&K Markets Chooses Retalix Connected Payments to Cut Costs, Ease PCI Compliance

SaaS-Based Payments System Removes All Cardholder Data From Stores; Reduces Transaction, Technology and Compliance Expenses


DALLAS, July 24, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- C&K Market Inc. has deployed Connected Payments™ from Retalix® (Nasdaq:RTLX). The Brookings, Ore. grocery chain has rolled out the cloud-based, software-as-a-service (SaaS) payments system across its 61 Ray's Food Place, Ray's Shop Mart and C&K Market banners. The grocer also uses Retalix POS software across its enterprise.

Alan Nidiffer, chief information officer of C&K Market, says Connected Payments will help his company better manage compliance-related transaction data, while improving overall POS efficiency and reducing costs. The Connected Payments subscription-based model eliminated all of C&K's up-front license costs for the new system, while providing operational efficiency from centralized online reporting and analysis.

"We wanted to effectively meet increasing PCI standards, and Connected Payments provided the best solution because it actually removes all cardholder data from our stores," said Nidiffer. "The result is optimal transaction data security. In addition, Connected Payments has helped us reduce our electronic payments costs overall, and it provides centralized reporting that improves our operational performance."

Todd Michaud, president of Retalix USA, said, "Connected Payments helps grocers like C&K Market ease the burden of costly PCI compliance updates, while ensuring reduced costs and dramatic payback. C&K has been a Retalix customer for many years, and we look forward to building further upon that relationship."
