"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"Since implementing Katana, we’ve grown our product offering, and that wouldn't be possible without it. It has freed up my time so I can focus on designing and creating more products. It also means that I am not working until 11 pm every night."

“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.”

"We were doing workarounds for workarounds. Just trying to process manufacturing orders and get some insight into our work-in-progress. There was no way we were going to scale with that system."

"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."

“There aren’t many softwares built with crafters and makers in mind. But Katana MRP sure is the one. Thanks to Katana I’ve been able to get rid of the stress of being unorganized and behind with delivery deadlines.”

"Katana made it easy to write off stock or make stock adjustments to reflect the true component count in our storage. With Katana, we can now know what we have in store and where to look for it. It has also helped us a lot with our manufacturing and purchase …

"We like that Katana has a simple interface, and it is very user-friendly. We went all-in from day one, implemented and started using it right away. Their great customer support is a rare gem to be found among other manufacturing software solutions."

"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 keeps accurate stock of our assemblies and ingredients so that I can plan out manufacturing and get instant feedback on whether or not I have enough resources in stock to complete an order.”
