53 Katana Testimonials

“Simply the most powerful software built for handmade furniture makers. My everyday operations haven’t been as organized as they are now thanks to Katana.”

“There aren’t many softwares built with crafters and makers in mind. But Katana MRP sure is the one. Thanks to Katana I’ve been able to get rid of the stress of being unorganized and behind with delivery deadlines.”

"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 processes. Everything is integrated, making for effective company-wide resource planning and control."

“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 our order fulfillment.”

"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."

"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 chose Katana because it seemed to be the most user-friendly software we tried. And that has proved to be true - it is very easy to use and the customer service is great."

"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."

"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."

"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."

“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.”

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

"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 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."
