Catalyst Business Process Management
With Catalyst BPM, you and your staff communicate—and move processes along—more
quickly and easily, with less distraction and fewer keystrokes. Users can request actions or
information they need to move a process along without the need to “pull out” of the task at
hand, improving focus and efficiency.
Catalyst Installed Sales
Activant Catalyst Installed Sales lets you manage it all by defining your own set of
installation phases, to track materials, labor and time, precisely how you need to. Details
Catalyst Performance Drive Suite
The Performance Driver Suite ties multiple systems and datasets together and updates
information as often as you like. The graphical presentation layer allows you to drill
down and analyze root cause and then immediately execute corrective actions. Details
Activant Catalyst Production Scheduling
With Activant Catalyst Production Scheduling, any type item - N, M, V and X - can be
flagged as a production item. Each production line can be set up with its own automatic
print capability. Items are linked to the production lines and the production browser will,
by line, display all items to be produced that have not been scheduled. Details
