“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.”

"With Katana, we can more effectively see and follow inventory levels, and have recipes and bills of materials (BOMs) for our manufactured products that let us follow the manufacturing status throughout the whole production cycle."

“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, …

"Katana provides us with all the necessary features for manufacturing order management. Furthermore, we can track inventory usage and incorporate our sales order tracking into 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."

"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."

“Katana has integrated seamlessly with Shopify, and we now get a current view of stock levels enabling us to schedule both purchasing and manufacturing.“

"Katana allowed us to consolidate everything into one platform. We know what our inventory is at the central hub, and it pushes out to every other location."

"With Katana and Shiptheory working together, it’s sometimes hard to remember what our problems used to be."

"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."

"Our overall efficiency has significantly improved. Katana is a very user-friendly and easy-to-use system for each of the struggles that we used to have before. Even more, I appreciate the communication when they are developing new tools, they are open to feedback and take our improvements into account."

"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."

"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 …

“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.”

"We are now a better run company with more straightforward processes. This might sound like a cliché, but it’s made our lives much easier. I would say revenue has gone up because we’re able to have much, much bigger orders without having to take on more management.”
