We like that Katana has a simple interface, and it is very user-friendly. We went all-in from day one, implemented and started using it right away. Their great customer support is a rare gem to be found among other manufacturing software solutions.

Yes, Katana offers barcode scanning capabilities which enable you to track inventory levels in real time. This feature is particularly helpful if you need to manage a large volume of inventory.
Katana supports a variety of workflows, including make-to-order (MTO) and make-to-stock (MTS). With MTO, products are manufactured only after an order has been received. This allows companies to produce custom products or products that are in high demand and short supply. In contrast, MTS involves manufacturing products even before an order has been received. This method is often used for products that have a long lead time or are not easily customized.
