"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."

"Not everyone has an account on your Shop Floor App, I’ve given it to only two people so far. It works well to have 2 Shop Floor Apps and 2 tablets, and then people can choose from the tablet whether they are in the kitchen or in the packaging. I’m …

"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."

"We were having issues accounting for bundled products as well as tracking labor costs in realtime. I have enjoyed that Katana has these capabilities and we no longer have to count thousands of products each week! "

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

"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."

“Prioritizing our manufacturing with the data provided by Katana has increased our efficiency over 25% in the first 3 months already.”

"We knew we needed something more than just a spreadsheet but we didn't like the idea of paying a crazy amount for a huge system that we would not fully use. Katana was simplistic and answered what we needed without a ton of fluff or other elements that we did …

"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 …

"I literally started to get teary-eyed when I saw everything finally set up in Katana."

"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."

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