Bring your innovative spark to the electronic industry with a perfect production process
You might be building tiny microchips for mobile phones or massive industrial machinery for other businesses to use in warehouses. Either way, Katana’s electronics ERP is here to simplify your day-to-day processes, especially in industrial manufacturing. With a greater overview of production, automated stock reordering, and finance, sales, and shipping integrations, you’ll have more time to build and refine your business.
The basis of a well-made product is a structured bill of materials (BOM), and it’s no different for great electronics products. If you need to make an engineering change to your products, you update the BOM, and your team will know what needs to be changed in constructing that item. BOMs are a major part of Katana’s ERP for electronics, essentially a product configurator, helping track the use of all your raw materials and their cost over time, and identify when you need to create automated reorder points so you’re not hit by stockouts.
Automated reordering allows you to maintain the optimum inventory amount to always have the correct raw materials in stock. You can adjust these points in case a particular product sees a drop or sudden spike in sales and you need to change your material reordering. It allows for capacity planning, both in the workload of your team and the space in your warehouse.
Work with your warehouse and get products sold and shipped
Along with your BOM, Katana’s electronics ERP comes with the Shop Floor App, a great warehouse management feature. The app allows you to create tasks for your team and track when products are built, packed, and shipped.
Once tasks in the warehouse are completed and products are made, you need a platform to sell them. For sales management, Katana has native e-commerce integrations with Shopify, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce, as well as third-party integrations with many other fantastic providers. We also have integrations with shipping partners to meet distribution needs and get your products to customers worldwide.
