"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."

"We needed a system that could help us assign and schedule tasks, as well as see how long the life of a product is in terms of how long it takes to make, label, and shrink wrap. We needed this information by the item itself and a way to multiply …

“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.”

“We have fully integrated with Katana, Shopify and Quickbooks for the entirety of our manufacturing process and have been using it for about 6 months now. This software is amazing and the features keep coming.”

"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."

“Katana helps us segment our entire production process for each SKU by setting up exact manufacturing steps and allocating resources and raw materials to each product and sub-component. As a result we know our real-time inventory of raw materials, finished and non-finished products. We can plan sourcing and production accordingly, …

"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 allows us visibility, efficiency, and productivity on every order from the time it is received in our system right through to the customers doorstep.”

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

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

"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."

"Our B2B customers used to wait probably 6 to 8 weeks for an order. Because of the improvements we’ve made and the visibility of everything, we've been able to reduce that down to 10 days."

"We chose Katana because it presents our manufacturing business data in the easiest possible way. In our industry, we need good systems that give us a quick overview - and Katana delivers that. Compared to other systems we tried, Katana is the best in terms of user-friendliness and helping us …

"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, …

"Katana's bill of materials (BOM) is a tremendous help in our manufacturing process and overall production management. Integrations with Shopify and Xero also play a big role in business management, helping us streamline our operations from sales orders to ready-made goods. We can now manage both B2B and B2C orders …
