Katana has been specifically designed for the needs of modern manufacturers who want to scale.
Finished Goods & Material Availability
Katana takes available raw materials and automatically allocates them to production orders, as well as finished goods to sales orders. Built in batch traceability with expiry date tracking allows you to use the right stock at the right time – at the best quality. Real-time updates of inventory and operations, and complete order fulfillment at your fingertips.
Bill of Materials (Product Recipes)
You can create a specific bill of materials (or product recipe) for each product and product variant; you can add both materials and subassemblies to your recipes. Based on your bill of materials, Katana will make automatic inventory adjustments, calculate manufacturing costs and check the availability of materials for manufacturing orders.
Priority-Based Production Planning
With Katana’s unique manufacturing tracking system, you can simply drag-and-drop to prioritize manufacturing orders. The priority of manufacturing orders affects material availability and production deadline calculations. Stay in control of your operations and never miss a deadline again.

Great choice for small manufacturers
”I tried several different MRPs before settling with Katana. Some were too clunky, others too expensive, complicated and elaborate. I felt a bit like Goldilocks. Katana was just right.”

Most affordable MRP system for manufacturers
”I love the value. We were stuck using excel to manage our inventory for a long time because there were no affordable options until Katana came along. I am able to maintain accurate stock levels much more easily now.”

FAQs
What does MRP mean?
MRP stands for "Material Requirements Planning". It is the process of managing your manufacturing practices. The aim is to ensure materials are available for production, kept at the lowest possible levels, whilst also planning purchasing activities.
What is MRP software?
Material Requirements Planning (MRP) software, also known as materials resource planning or MRP II software, gives you the tools to manage your inventory and production to meet demand as efficiently as possible. However, nowadays MRP software has gone on to encompass areas beyond this, including ecommerce integrations and sales order fulfillment.
What can MRP do?
Every MRP software is different. But the range of features can include inventory management, production scheduling, contacts management, sales order fulfillment, ecommerce integration, accounting integrations and more.
Do I need MRP software?
As a modern manufacturer the answer is most likely a yes. With the right app you will be able to improve your inventory management, production scheduling and material purchasing. Without it, you might find yourself lacking the time and resources to grow your business effectively.
