Retalix Ltd. CEO and Chairman, Barry Shaked, said: “StoreAlliance set out to bring on board during year 2000 a strategic investor in the form of a major manufacturer and distributor. With Coca-Cola Israel joining us, this goal is soon to be achieved. The investment will be used to accelerate the build out of StoreAlliance’s online community and enhance the services and functionality of its Web-based applications. This will be StoreAlliance’s first relationship with a strategic supplier and it puts us in a privileged position to become a leading supplier for on-line application services to the retail sector in Israel. I am confident that other investors in complementary sectors will also join this venture.”

StoreAlliance Israel CEO, Assaf Gadish, said: “Coca-Cola Israel’s vote of confidence in the potential of StoreAlliance provides significant momentum to expand our retailer community, add more member suppliers and broaden the variety of services that we provide.”
