"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."

"To keep track of materials, our COO had a pen, pencil, and his memory — ‘OK, I’m pretty sure we have all of these, so we’ll need more in a month’ – and that’s simply not a good system."

"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."

"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 are now a better run company with more straightforward processes. This might sound like a cliché, but it’s made our lives much easier. I would say revenue has gone up because we’re able to have much, much bigger orders without having to take on more management.”

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

"Our B2B customers used to wait probably 6 to 8 weeks for an order. Because of the improvements we’ve made and the visibility of everything, we've been able to reduce that down to 10 days."

“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.”

“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 …

"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."

"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."

"I was looking for software that would bring structure to my operations without being too complex to grasp on a daily basis. This is exactly what Katana does."

"We love the added bonus of being able to manage our shop floor with Katana and that the inventory availability is hooked right in - having the shop floor know what they can/can't make on a given day is amazing, and replaces our previous "system" of creating/manipulating spreadsheets."

"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 …
