Adaptable, easy to understand and use. Great support!
The platform has empowered our team to be more effective. The integration with Xero streamlines our entire manufacturing process. The support we have received in setting things up and thereafter has been more that satisfying. Thank you for a well designed solution.

Flexible software - good experience so far
Katana is a great tool that has adapted to our business needs and can scale as the complexity of our business grows.
As an ecommerce business with retail channels, Katana has helped us take our inventory management to the next level.
Drawback; pricing is a big jump if you're on the edge of Standard / Advanced. The onboarding could also be improved for the done for you option.

Intuitive, clean and easy to use
Katana is an incredible tool to manage stock for small business. Its capability allows for stock analysis allows all businesses to access data only big business formally had access to.

Solid capability with ease of use
Katana has been great for our company as we were using spreadsheets earlier. Sales Orders driving Work Orders which drive Purchase Orders and inventory visibility.
I also appreciate how willing they are to make updates and corrections.

Expensive and insecure
The pricing is similar to Tier One providers of fully functional ERP solutions. There is only 2 levels of user, full access users with too much access or warehouse workers with limited use. Sales and finance team will need full access which is wide open and a security problem. After using the trial version, I can say it has potential, fees need to halve and security needs to double!

Hi Bill,
Thanks for trying out Katana with our free trial!
For user permissions we're aware we have room for improvement, and just around the corner in Q3 '22 is a planned launch of a new and improved version with much more flexibility. This is currently being built out, thanks for your feedback on this topic!
For clarity on the current situation, we currently though we have 3 levels of user permissions;
Owner - access to all functions, including billing and delete all button.
User - access to all functions, excl billing and delete all button.
Operator - only shop-floor app access.
Additionally, it takes 4 separate steps to clear all account data in settings, including typing out your email address in full. It's also restricted to only the owner of the account.
I hope you find a solution for your needs out there for your needs Bill, sorry it couldn't be us this time!
