How Hello Adorn boosted revenue by 19% with Katana

Improving visibility and control to eliminate operational challenges

Hello Adorn is a jewelry brand born from a desire to prioritize life’s precious moments — starting at a dining table, it has grown into a 40+ member team crafting beautiful, handmade jewelry.

Before implementing Katana, Hello Adorn faced significant production and inventory management challenges due to its outdated, manual, and paper-based processes in running its business.

As Hello Adorn experienced rapid growth, these limitations became increasingly problematic, with the company’s expansion outpacing its operational systems. A lack of visibility and real-time control led to frequent overstocking and back-ordering of materials and difficulty tracking progress and evaluating their operational performance. Using paper to manage their inventory and production also meant that a lack of centralized tools to streamline communication and coordination among team members created inefficiencies.

Hello Adorn realized it needed to transition from its fragmented, manual systems to a more efficient, automated, and scalable solution.

Onboarding Katana eliminates stockouts and manual tracking

Hello Adorn recognized the need for a more effective solution that could bring organization, visibility, and scalability to their growing operations.

After evaluating various software options, they selected Katana because it offered an integrated inventory and production management approach that aligned with their needs — particularly the ability to sync with Shopify for product tracking and task assignment to makers. Katana’s integration with Shopify provides real-time tracking of raw materials and finished goods, ensuring the company always has the inventory available to meet customer demand. This integration eliminated the manual tracking of materials, reducing errors and improving stock management.

Katana’s Shop Floor App and time-tracking capabilities also improved production efficiency by allowing makers to easily follow task assignments and track their progress, which was impossible with the previous paper-based system.

Increasing revenue and storage space with Katana Cloud Inventory

Katana helped Hello Adorn transition from a company struggling with a paper-based system to a company with real-time insights and streamlined workflows.

By ditching the paper for cloud-based software, they increased revenue by 19% after gaining insights into the performance of their business. With real-time inventory tracking integrated with Shopify, the company gained better visibility into raw materials and finished goods, enabling it to manage its stock more effectively and leading to an 11% reduction in on-hand inventory.
