Katana

Consumer demand for customized, sustainable and locally-produced products is driving a renaissance in local manufacturing. Yet many small- and medium-sized manufacturers still rely on spreadsheets or outdated, expensive software to manage inventory and production, making it hard to scale and sell omnichannel. Katana’s flexible, plug-and-play manufacturing ERP software for SMEs eliminates worries about internal processes and is as easy to use as the best-in-class leading software tools that big businesses rely on.

Features support the workflows of the modern manufacturer, including the need for real-time, automated production master planning and real-time inventory control/optimization. It takes less than a week on average to get Katana up and running, compared to months for existing tools, and the modern, world-class UX helps the majority of users self-onboard. Finally, Katana has an integration-led design and provides compatibility with popular e-commerce sales channels and accounting tools such as Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, QuickBooks, Xero and many more.

Since its founding 2017, Katana has worked with over 1,500 product-making businesses, and the teams that rely on Katana daily span consumer and B2B industries — making everything from organic cosmetics to home decor, electronics to apparel, food, beverages and even surfboards — in countries from the U.S. to New Zealand.
