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

"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 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."

"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."

"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 switched to this app to help manage our custom product orders. It is great at helping us track our costs, meet our delivery standards, and connect natively to Shopify - a big bonus that helps us pull for our orders and manage multiple stores and locations easily."

"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."

"When we started using Katana, we were doing £150-250,000 a month while struggling with the system at that time. Now we’ve doubled that number and are working a lot more efficiently. It definitely has to do with the software we’re using. With Katana, everything is just so easy and accessible."

“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.”

"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."

“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 …

“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.”

“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, …

“Prioritizing our manufacturing with the data provided by Katana has increased our efficiency over 25% in the first 3 months already.”

"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."
