"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 …

"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 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 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."

“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.”

"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."

“At first, we approached work ad-hoc, mainly doing everything by estimations. But once we got started with Katana, we were able to formulate a schedule and get our stock under control. Before, we would quite often experience delays but, since using Katana, we've been able to be on top of …

“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.”
