Retalix (RTLX on NASDAQ), a global provider of integrated software solutions for the food, fuel, and consumer goods retail and distribution industries, has used DBSophic's flagship product, Qure, to optimize key business transactions.

The analysis process at Retalix, was not induced by a specific performance problem, but rather as part of an ongoing effort to maintain database and applications performance. The company puts much effort into maintaining clients' database performance in order to preserve applications' high level of service and data availability.

As the company works to maintain database performance while continuously adding new features and business models to its applications, these additions can potentially degrade performance on top of the increase in data and user volumes.

Retalix focuses on business transactions end-to-end and has used such methods to measure the performance gain after implementing Qure's recommendation. The company didn't look at the database tier only, but measured  the transactions across all tiers of the application.

Qure optimized the performance of Retalix's Grocery product line and generated hundreds of performance optimization recommendations. Accordingly, Retalix concentrated on a subset of application's key business transactions and implemented recommendations only within the database itself without making changes to other application tiers.
