"To keep track of materials, our COO had a pen, pencil, and his memory — ‘OK, I’m pretty sure we have all of these, so we’ll need more in a month’ – and that’s simply not a good 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."

"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."

“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 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’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.”

“I have 750 different products with 3 finishings and different materials and it is very helpful to have all this information at hand and control product process, orders, materials purchases. What is amazing is to be able to have all my material and labour calculated per every order. I highly …

“Simply the most powerful software built for handmade furniture makers. My everyday operations haven’t been as organized as they are now thanks to Katana.”
