Scale inventory management smartly as your business grows
When you start a small manufacturing business, it can work well to use free tools like spreadsheets to keep track of business. But as production scales, and orders come in, you need a solution designed to meet your needs. Katana is a perfect fit for inventory optimization, helping you automate reordering stock and order fulfillment processes, as well as customize the units of measure for all your raw materials.

With Katana, we can track products, build recipes for materials, and set reorder points as well. That was one thing that was very difficult to manage — raw material inventory — for example, how many black t-shirts do I need to order? That was the main reason why we selected Katana.”

With Katana, we can more effectively see and follow inventory levels, and have recipes and bills of materials (BOMs) for our manufactured products that let us follow the manufacturing status throughout the whole production cycle.”

Founder at Kodama
I used to spend around 15 minutes per individual order on admin work, and I would be doing it all – preparing the packing lists, labels, and shipping. Now I do not need to touch any of that. Instead, I can put this time into designing new products and developing the business.”
Thomas JudgeOwner at GJ Motorsports
We needed something more than just a spreadsheet but we didn’t like to pay a crazy amount for a system we wouldn’t fully use. Tracking inventory and what stage it is in has been incredibly helpful. It’s helped our team have a clearer delineation of the order of operations for each product in our catalog.”
