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.

Thanks for your review Matthew, happy to hear Katana helps you run analysis and manage stock in your business!

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!

Integration with Xero was straightforward and Katana makes it easier for us to manage our stock and orders

Katana's Platform is great for managing stock levels and incoming orders! Only improvement would be if we were able to edit the item description on Quotes before sending.

Thanks for the review Fiona! I've shared the idea on the quotes editing suggestion with team that's built and maintains our Xero integration. We're always looking to improve the integration and appreciate the feedback!
