"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, produce the right amount, order our materials at an adequate amount so we are not over or underspending."
“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, and have a direct overview of production costs.”
"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 offers a huge boost to our manufacturing clients because they can now get the in-depth inventory analysis and the data they need for a fractional CFO through one system."
"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 it long-term so when taking on larger projects, we know if we need more help and can directly see the cost of materials and operations. We also wanted a better overview of our inventory, and Katana had all of that."
“With Katana, we were finally able to get a full overview of our manufacturing processes and material inventory. This software not only helped us significantly improve our production planning, but we are now twice as productive, as we save so much time on daily operations."
“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’d require a full-time person doing documentation in Excel to match what is automatically done by Katana."
"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 use Katana as a one-stop-shop for operations in manufacturing, so we're utilizing all the features Katana offers. It has been a great experience, and Katana's team successfully guided us through the implementation and integration of all our products."
"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 allows us visibility, efficiency, and productivity on every order from the time it is received in our system right through to the customers doorstep.”
“Easy to access Shopify orders and the guys at Katana are very responsive to set up the system and help in anything that occurs or needs optimization.”
"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."
