COO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Love this option for our manufacturing/ecommerce brand" December 16, 2020 5.0 Pros I love the ease of setup with this tool, and the ability to integrate it so well with all of our other platforms. Cons I wish the Lot Tracking came standard because it is a health and safety issue and should be included in the basic plan in my opinion. Review Source Response from Katana Cloud Inventory December 28, 2020 Thank you for your feedback! YG Yvonne G. Owner Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy tracking of materials and products" December 17, 2020 5.0 GREAT! Pros I like the ease of visibility to see what I have, what I need to order and it links into my accounting software, Xero which saves double entries. Cons Still new to software but I would say the response to issues is slightly delayed as I believe team is overseas, the information they give is great and fixes my misunderstandings/errors, it is just slightly delayed. Reason for choosing Katana Cloud Inventory Simplicity, linked to accounting software, tracks raw materials and products and allows to build products, I can import my sales orders from my eccomerce site using zapier, saves double entries. Review Source Response from Katana Cloud Inventory December 28, 2020 Thank you for the feedback! LG Laszlo G. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "User friendly inventory and manufacturing management solution for small companies" September 13, 2019 5.0 Pros The best thing about Katana is that you can follow the whole process of manufacturing. We have tried many similar softwares but they usually lack some crucial components in the manufacturing pipeline. The user interface is extremely easy to use, and their customer support is extraordinary, too. Cons It is quite costly, but it is definitely worth the price. Review Source Response from Katana Cloud Inventory September 16, 2019 Thank you for the kind feedback! We always try to provide more value for money and Katana's features keep evolving in time to make an even better impact on your manufacturing and inventory operations. MZ Marika Z. CEO Arts and Crafts Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Complete Manufacturing ERP software" March 11, 2022 5.0 Pros The set-up time for Katana was quite quick, and helped us set up our inventory management system in a short time. It helps us manage products with many variations and complex recipes quite easily. Cons The manufacturing order process is a bit slow, as it is only possibile to add one product per MO, which might not be ideal for business with a lot of products being created daily. Review Source PR Paolo R. Operations Manager Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Break through" May 15, 2020 4.0 Initially had bumps when I was setting it up, but overall once you immerse yourself within the software. It's relatively easy to use and I thank all the customer service representative that extended their help to me. Pros The software is fairly easier to use as compared to other providers. It's pretty straight forward and the booking system gives us an immediate glimpse of our current production status. Customer service is also excellent! Cons The company behind Katana is relatively new, so there are still a lot more features that they can add but I know they have been working on them! Would love to have access control options feature. Reason for choosing Katana Cloud Inventory Customer service Review Source JJ Joan J. Head of Continuous Engineering and Manufacturing Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The Manufacturing Resource Planning software that we needed" March 23, 2021 5.0 Pros I am admittedly new to Manufacturing Resource Planning tools. I can say though that I was surprised at how extremely intuitive Katana's user interface is. This makes it very easy for all the team to quickly get on board and start using Katana. By my estimations, the cost of not using this software easily exceeds the cost of NOT using it, by a) preventing manufacturing and operational delays, and b) saving time tracking the status of inventory and manufacturing. Cons Being very picky, I'd like to see more options to document the manufacturing operation steps by adding images, rich text, headers etc. Review Source ZD Zach D. owner Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Value for Small Manufacturing Businesses" January 21, 2020 5.0 The overall experience has been a positive one. It does well what is promised, and the support team is helpful while also listening to feedback for future improvements. Pros The price makes Katana most attractive. It is also intuitive to set up and use. Katana also provided helpful onboarding assistance. Cons The software is a bit limited with respect to features for or customization of PO's. Alternatives considered [Lead Commerce](https://www.capterra.com/p/141565/Lead-Commerce/) Reason for choosing Katana Cloud Inventory Price and ease of onboarding.

CEO Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Incredible product and support" January 21, 2020 5.0 Pros We tried several ERP systems for our manufacturing business without a lot of luck. Katana, without question, is one of the best and more affordable options we've come across. Coupled with their incredible support, we wouldn't recommend anything else. Cons While they're super responsive to feature requests, Katana doesn't include an API or Hook. Review Source Response from Katana Cloud Inventory January 22, 2020 Thank you for your review! We will be working on opening an API very soon. TH Thomas H. CEO Textiles Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A good support" December 17, 2020 4.0 Pros We use Katana everyday to track our supply flows through different warehouses and to get the average value in stock. Once the main integration is made it is easy to use. Katana team members were always available to help us through this process and still are when needed.  Cons Our use of Katana is limited since we are not handling our production ourselves, so we don't use all the functions available and have to adjust the features to our business. Small changes like adjusting the interface according to the daily customer needs would be a real bonus.  Review Source Response from Katana Cloud Inventory December 28, 2020 Thank you for your feedback!

Easy to learn, accessible and the team around me has been great. I would definitely recommend Pros The ability for production to see their orders in advance has decreased lead time on order changes, also has opened lines of communication that should've been in place between management, logistics and production teams that have led to more productivity and less waste Cons There were multiple problems with barcode scanning that lead to some delays in the beginning Review Source AP Anna-Liisa P. CEO Packaging and Containers Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Super easy to use while not compromising on functionality" January 26, 2021 5.0 I was looking for software that would bring structure to my operations without being too complex to grasp on a daily basis. This is exactly what Katana does. Pros Katana is visual, modern and easy to use. I get an instant overview of where we're standing without unnecessary features crowding the picture. It works for both the managerial team as well as the production unit fulfilling the orders. Great customer support that works quickly and pays attention to details. Very easy to integrate with the existing sales software. Cons Nothing really, customer support helped me solve all questions quickly. Review Source NAP Noor Ahmed P. Owner Printing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Loyal Customer unbiased Feedback" June 16, 2021 5.0 Pros Operations of Manufacturing Products. Current Status of Production. Time of production. Cons There should be partial delivery option. Whenever it gets updated few features are deleted & few are added. You can add the feature without deleting the old one. Review Source JS Joel S. Director Food & Beverages Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Very easy to use and ideal for production and sales" May 25, 2020 5.0 great to remove manual tracking of sales order / SKU Pros Great integration with Shopify and Xero Ability to track everything in one place from sales to invoices to production. Work easily with creating customers and invoices through to xero. Cons No batch tracking (yet) A little complicated to set up when you have multiple price points for the same SKU and need to input the product card to reflect this as discounts of one set price isnt ideal to flow into xero Reason for choosing Katana Cloud Inventory seem to have the best integration for our needs and batch tracking on the way Review Source Response from Katana Cloud Inventory June 2, 2020 Thank you for the feedback and support!

Pros I am able to organize the production of my "made to order" orders. I used to just use excel sheets and this is so much easier to use and manage since it imports the orders from shopify!

Manufacturing and inventory management is new to us and Katana has helped our efficiency and organization immensely. Pros The set up was very easy to go through - with just a few videos, I was able to set up our entire inventory management system. It was easy to train staff on and maintain. Cons I like the integration with QuickBooks - I wish there was not just the invoicing feature but also a feature for estimates.

CEO Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use manufacturing software" May 18, 2020 5.0 Pros Once you understand the structure of the software and the solutions it offers, it gives you simple, but useful overview of your production process. It is easy to use as a team as well. Cons Since the software is made for a very wide range of products manufacturing, there were not as many options we would specifically needed for our prefab timber house production process, but after a period of time, there has been many updates and additional options added to the software.

Easy to use. Has made a big difference in sorting orders and tracking inventory. Reasonably priced for a small business. There is a lot to the software program, and we are still learning, but customer service is always available to assist in answering any questions, and so far each employee that has used it, agrees that it is easy to navigate through.

Switched from [MRPeasy](https://www.capterra.com/p/134177/MRPEasy/) It was too complex for our current needs Review Source Response from Katana Cloud Inventory October 10, 2019 Thank you for the feedback! BB Brandon B. Co-Owner Sporting Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simple inventory solution with BOM" May 31, 2020 5.0 Pros A simple solution for tracking ingredients and manufacturing operations tied to work orders and final products. Cons Covers most the basics but missing some nice to have features like custom metadata/fields for orders and the ability to bulk modify delivery date. I also would like simple ways to adjust work orders and inventory for scrap or loss during production. Seems there are workarounds for these though. Review Source Response from Katana Cloud Inventory June 8, 2020 THank you for sharing your feedback! MM Masataka M. Director Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Almost everything we need in one app" March 23, 2021 5.0 Satisfied. Pros Batch tracking was something we needed and always faced issues with. It is now solved using this software. Cons To raise a PO to purchase certain materials from suppliers, it would be good if a list of all the items supplied by the selected supplier can appear on the screen to select from rather than remembering which supplier each ingredients come from. Reason for choosing Katana Cloud Inventory Good user interface with all the features we needed. Review Source RG Raivis G. CEO Fine Art Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Recomended for made to order businesses" March 31, 2021 5.0 Pros Most useful feature for me is to be able to import orders from multiple sources, like Shopify stores. Easily manage all my orders on one place. Also Katana has easy onboarding, just start using it. Cons It seems to me that Katana does not meet the price level at the moment, but it is constantly being supplemented and improved. New features are added regularly. Definitely soon it will become the best software in its niche.

My confidence in succeeding is high instead of low Pros I am shocked at how easy this software was to setup and use, It has been a blessing for taking care of inventory which i was my biggest headache. Cons I'm a little slow with technology, so it took me a little longer than most to get the hang of despite it's ease of use.
