"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 …

"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."

"Katana made it easy to write off stock or make stock adjustments to reflect the true component count in our storage. With Katana, we can now know what we have in store and where to look for it. It has also helped us a lot with our manufacturing and purchase …

"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."

“Syncing sales orders and production used to be the hardest part of our business. Now it’s the easiest. Besides, the software is surprisingly easy to set up.”

"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."

"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 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 …

"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."

"With Katana and Shiptheory working together, it’s sometimes hard to remember what our problems used to be."

"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."

"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.”

“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, …

"The whole process — quoting, invoicing, material handling — works together. It’s not just one area where Katana shines. It’s every step."

"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."
