Frequently asked questions
Manufacturing management software gives product businesses a live view of production, inventory, and purchasing in one connected system. It replaces the manual coordination of spreadsheets, emails, and disconnected tools with a single platform that tracks orders, materials, and shop floor activity in real time and gives teams the data to make faster, more accurate decisions.
MRP (material requirements planning) focuses on calculating what materials are needed, when, and in what quantities to meet production demand. MRPII expanded that scope to include capacity planning, labor, and machine scheduling alongside materials. ERP goes further still, covering the entire business — finance, HR, sales, and supply chain — under one system.
Katana sits closest to the MRPII end of that spectrum: purpose-built for manufacturing and inventory, with integrations that connect your accounting, ecommerce, and shipping tools rather than trying to replace them.
Katana offers a free plan to get started, with no credit card required. Paid plans scale based on sales order volume and the add-ons needed. Unlike legacy manufacturing systems that require expensive implementation projects, Katana is designed to be up and running in days.
Katana is used by job shops, batch producers, contract manufacturers, and lean operations across industries including food and beverage, apparel, electronics, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. The common thread is scale: product businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets but don't need the complexity or cost of an enterprise system.
No. Katana is designed to be set up without specialist help. Most businesses are up and running within days using the knowledge base, Katana Academy, and onboarding support included with every plan. For more complex operations, our team can help.
