Catalyst International, Inc. (OTC: CLYS.OB), a global provider of supply chain execution (SCE) solutions, today announced that Daydots, the world's leading manufacturer and distributor of food safety products and solutions, has chosen Catalyst to leverage its SAP investment and optimize the efficiency of its supply chain. Catalyst will implement the SAP LES (Logistics Execution System) Warehouse Management (WM) application and Catalyst software components to extend the functionality of their warehousing solution. Catalyst is one of the few and largest SAP-certified Services Partners focused specifically on SAP LES.

Daydots supplies food service operators nationally and internationally from its distribution center in Fort Worth, TX. Growing at a rapid rate and looking to expand product lines, the company has outgrown their current warehouse management solution. Daydots plans to kick-off the facility upgrade of their 100,000-square-foot warehouse immediately, with a planned go-live date of October 2003. Catalyst will optimize and implement the SAP WM software and manage the RF infrastructure development and integration with automated material handling systems.

"We use SAP to manage our enterprise, but we were concerned initially about whether the warehousing component would be robust enough to fit our distribution needs. After considerable research and evaluation, Catalyst showed us how they could optimize the SAP solution to match our supply chain needs," said Andy Milliorn, Director of Operations for Daydots.

"With our nearly 25-years' experience in supply chain applications and long term partnership with SAP, we are now able to offer several options to meet companies' logistics challenges. We will help them identify the solution that is best for their business, whether it's centered on best-of-breed, SAP enterprise or some combination of software components and services," said Jim Treleaven, Catalyst President and CEO.

"Choosing the right software is the first step to success - integration and flawless execution are also essential. Catalyst offers the software and the services to help our customers succeed," Treleaven continued.
