Streamline your sales with omnichannel order management
Multichannel order management is a strategy that allows manufacturers to control every part of their sales pipeline across every sales channel. Those channels could be brick and mortar stores, websites, social media, mobile apps, or even a call center. To implement an multichannel order management system, manufacturers need to have a single view of the customer, their order history, and inventory management across all channels. Katana can help you with:
- Managing online and store sales, inventory and order fulfillment in one platform
- Connecting multiple stores to Katana, and you can map each store to a specific location
- Getting an overview of all order statuses, customers’ names, date of purchase, shipping address all in one place
- Having all your bills of materials (BOMs) in one place, and getting precise manufacturing costs and stock readings of material availability straight from Katana

CRM stands for customer relationship management. CRM software is a system that helps businesses keep track of their customers and manage their interactions.
There are many benefits to using a CRM, including:
- Improved customer satisfaction — CRMs help businesses keep track of their customers and their interactions
- Increased sales — CRMs can help companies to target their marketing efforts and track their sales pipeline
- Better team collaboration — CRMs can help sales teams stay organized and track their progress on projects
- Reduced costs — CRMs can help businesses automate their processes and reduce the need for manual data entry
CRM quotes are essential to CRM software because they can help businesses track their sales pipeline and close more deals. Quotes help manufacturers manage their customer relationships by providing a controllable record of interactions.
Please keep in mind that Katana ERP won’t ever commit any items to your pending sales orders until the client accepts the quote.
