We needed a system that could help us assign and schedule tasks, as well as see how long the life of a product is in terms of how long it takes to make, label, and shrink wrap. We needed this information by the item itself and a way to multiply it long-term so when taking on larger projects, we know if we need more help and can directly see the cost of materials and operations. We also wanted a better overview of our inventory, and Katana had all of that.

At first, we approached work ad-hoc, mainly doing everything by estimations. But once we got started with Katana, we were able to formulate a schedule and get our stock under control. Before, we would quite often experience delays but, since using Katana, we've been able to be on top of our order fulfillment.

Reach a new high with cannabis inventory management software
Maintain your cannabis inventory with a single platform
While cannabis is a quickly growing industry, you can’t rest on your laurels (or cannabis plants). Cannabis dispensaries and manufacturers need to be and remain innovative in their operations. Your choice of cannabis software can have a significant impact on your business. It can help make daily operations run smoothly and give you extra time to devise a growth strategy for your company.
Keep oil and edibles production flowing with savvy management
When you bring your CBD oil or THC edibles production process into Katana, you will understand straight away what your business was lacking.
Once you import product recipes into Katana’s cannabis dispensary software and change production statuses, Katana automatically updates the stock of raw materials. You’ll always know what materials are committed to production, so you know exactly when to reorder.
In addition to standard bills of materials, you’ll be able to track batches of your products — not only a necessity but often also a requirement when dealing with perishable goods.
Use integrations to reach both loyal and newfound customers
Want to skip managing cannabis retailers and instead start selling directly to customers? Katana’s cannabis inventory tracking software offers a ton of integrations, allowing you to connect all your favorite business services.
Connect Katana’s cannabis inventory system with Shopify and link it directly to your own point-of-sale aka POS system. This lets you synchronize data between your systems, so your inventory and sales are always aligned.
What’s more, you can also connect the best accounting tools like QuickBooks Online and Xero, ensuring your books are always balanced.

All your business tools — connected
Optimize your workflow with native and third-party integrations, automating data transfer between systems and reducing errors. Or build your own custom integrations using the open API for seamless data flow with other applications. Check out the API documentation for more details.
Cannabis inventory management that is systematic will help cannabis dispensaries operate safely, avoiding hefty licensing fines or suspensions from public officials.
Also, understocking, overstocking, or over-assorting (having too many products in a specific category, such as vape arts or edibles) can have a negative impact on your cannabis business revenue potential.
The best way to stay updated with all cannabis laws in your country is to consult with public officials, a familiar lawyer, or other legal experts who specialize in cannabis law. You can also find helpful information on the websites of various government or state agencies that regulate cannabis.
