“We don’t miss spreadsheets one bit after finding Katana. It feels good to be on top of your inventory. Both raw and made products.”

"We switched to this app to help manage our custom product orders. It is great at helping us track our costs, meet our delivery standards, and connect natively to Shopify - a big bonus that helps us pull for our orders and manage multiple stores and locations easily."

"We’d require a full-time person doing documentation in Excel to match what is automatically done by Katana."

"I was looking for software that would bring structure to my operations without being too complex to grasp on a daily basis. This is exactly what Katana does."

"We love the added bonus of being able to manage our shop floor with Katana and that the inventory availability is hooked right in - having the shop floor know what they can/can't make on a given day is amazing, and replaces our previous "system" of creating/manipulating spreadsheets."

"Katana offers a huge boost to our manufacturing clients because they can now get the in-depth inventory analysis and the data they need for a fractional CFO through one system."

"People still try to manage a lot manually — inventory, accounting, production planning. If you want us to help you, it has to be online. So, automating, computerizing, and moving our clients to a paperless office is our main goal."

"This app is fantastic! Before Katana, manually keeping track of all my inventory was difficult. Now all of my products are broken down into recipes. If someone orders a product, all of my component stock levels are adjusted, and I’m alerted when I need to re-order."

"On-demand manufacturing allowed us to grow, not just our product offering but to expand to different geographical regions. The Katana Team has always been extremely responsive and helpful, as well as their partner, DataAutomation. Together, we were able to figure out the different workflows to pull in the different information, …

"We assign serial numbers to sales orders in Katana once they’re completed. We want to see when it was built and to who and when it was shipped since that ties into our support workflow to keep track of warranties."

"The whole process — quoting, invoicing, material handling — works together. It’s not just one area where Katana shines. It’s every step."

"Katana has been an asset to our inventory management and production planning. We were using QuickBooks desktop to manage all inventory before, now Katana streamlines our production planning, making it more efficient."

"Our inventory management was such a wreck before Katana! We are hitting it hard with high efficiency because we are no longer running out of items and have all vendor and contact information embedded with the materials."

“Syncing sales orders and production used to be the hardest part of our business. Now it’s the easiest. Besides, the software is surprisingly easy to set up.”

“Katana’s automatic raw material management and simple entries system makes for a super easy solution. It’s a tool that tackles all our struggles in identifying material needs for both our MTO and our MTS products. We just wish we’d adopted it sooner.”
