    The Katana Story

    Past

    Before a single line of code was written, our co-founders Kristjan and Priit raised $700,000 from investors with a 10-slide presentation in April 2017.

    With the help of two developers and a designer, they built the very first prototype a month later. And by the end of the year, Katana went live, and welcomed its first paying customers in early 2018. 

    Present

    Since those humble beginnings, Katana evolved dramatically, becoming a cloud inventory platform, offering built-in inventory, production, and reporting features to give you an end-to-end inventory management solution for modern businesses.

    From our HQ in Tallinn, with the help of staff across North America, Europe, and New Zealand, we’re helping businesses use the best software available for every element of their business with Katana, uniting them all in a single platform. 

    Future

    Our product may evolve, but our mission remains the same — to empower businesses around the world by providing them with the tools and resources they need to flourish.

    Businesses should be able to use software when they need it, without losing key data or seeing their numbers go out of sync.

    The values we live by

    Be customer value driven

    Our customers’ businesses are at the center of everything we do, and we measure our success by how we positively impact them. We put ourselves in their shoes, speak their lingo, and always listen with empathy.

    Go beyond the benchmark

    Goals are meant to be surpassed, and we do that by being ambitious and continuously challenging ourselves. Instead of dwelling on problems, we approach them head-on and work as a team to find a path forward.

    Be present and be open

    Success is a team effort, and knowing how to use our collective mind sets us apart. When things are unclear, we ask questions. When things get tough, we talk. We’re in this together and aim to be open and honest.

    Embrace being you

    You are the sum of your best features and strangest quirks — we want to see the good and the weird. Being yourself comes with responsibilities, but we trust that good intentions drive everyone’s actions.
