53 Katana Testimonials

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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 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.”

“Simply the most powerful software built for coffee roastery owners. My everyday operations and roast production scheduling haven’t been as organized as they are now. Cheers to Katana.”

"We chose Katana because it presents our manufacturing business data in the easiest possible way. In our industry, we need good systems that give us a quick overview - and Katana delivers that. Compared to other systems we tried, Katana is the best in terms of user-friendliness and helping us track daily activities."

"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 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."

“I have 750 different products with 3 finishings and different materials and it is very helpful to have all this information at hand and control product process, orders, materials purchases. What is amazing is to be able to have all my material and labour calculated per every order. I highly recommend Katana.”

"Katana's bill of materials (BOM) is a tremendous help in our manufacturing process and overall production management. Integrations with Shopify and Xero also play a big role in business management, helping us streamline our operations from sales orders to ready-made goods. We can now manage both B2B and B2C orders with greater ease."

"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 not need."

"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 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."
