Software vendor Retalix today introduced a freight management system for retail and wholesale distributors.

The system, called "Retalix Transportation Optimization," is designed to automate a distributor's freight planning, procurement, execution, settlement and visibility, Dallas-based Retalix said in a statement.

The software will "give retailers and distributors more insight into and control over their operations than ever before," said Reuben Halevi, president of Retalix's global supply chain division, in the statement.
