I think that Katana had a much lower barrier to entry. It was still some work to get up and running, but I was able to gradually build my processes into Katana’s system over several months.”

There are many benefits to using lean manufacturing software, including increased efficiency in the manufacturing process, reduced manufacturing costs, less waste, and improved quality control.
Additionally, digital manufacturing tools can help you track your progress towards your goals and help you identify areas where you need to continuously improve.
When choosing lean manufacturing software for your business, it is crucial to consider your specific needs and goals.
Try to select a solution that offers the lean manufacturing tools and the functionality you realistically require — whether it is inventory management, having a more transparent order management system for the sales specialist or project manager, or something entirely else. Heavily consider the price of the software and the level of support offered by the vendor, especially if your budget is tight.
