Catalyst Introduces Supplier Link Software
New application enables electronic data integration between suppliers and customers
Milwaukee, WI -- Catalyst International, Inc. (OTC: CLYS.OB), a global provider of supply chain execution (SCE) solutions, today announced CatalystConnectTM Supplier Link (CatalystConnect SL). CatalystConnect SL improves supplier compliance and inbound productivity by providing ASN and labeling capabilities via the Internet. As a part of our open-architecture based solutions suite, Supplier Link supports OAG (Open Application Group) XML interface standards. The system can be easily integrated with any warehouse management system or enterprise application, to ensure supplier information is automatically shared and synchronized.
CatalystConnect Supplier Link facilitates electronic integration between suppliers and customers. It enables an organization to support electronic integration with suppliers that are not able to - or choose not to - use EDI documents to transmit advanced shipping information to the purchaser. It also provides the option to print customer specific carton shipping labels with UCC128 barcodes and the necessary packing slips - all via the Internet. The use of UCC128 compliant carton labels and packing lists greatly increases the efficiency of the receiving process and enables pre-distributed cross-dock operation. Supplier Link provides visibility into inbound activities enabling an organization to immediately respond to exceptions.
"For many small suppliers, the investment in manpower, hardware and software to set up their own EDI system is cost prohibitive. Unfortunately, suppliers electing to ship without an ASN, are exposed to potential penalties and risk of customer loss. The electronic exchange of information that CatalystConnect Supplier Link provides, opens the door for relationships with smaller suppliers that were otherwise restricted," said Nigel Davies, Vice President, Development.
