Summary

Katana is a manufacturing resource planning (MRP) tool that provides visibility and control into inventory, sales, and production, giving users clarity and control over the end-to-end manufacturing process. Founded by a small team in 2017, Katana evolved from an initial inventory management tool to a comprehensive software solution covering all stages of manufacturing flow, including live inventory management, master planning, total shop floor control, and purchase order management. With its integration capabilities, Katana automates data flow between top accounting software, payment platforms, customer management systems, and more, making it easier for users to select and use multiple currencies. Additionally, Katana's partnership with Zapier enables the creation of automated workflows, or Zaps, that streamline work across all platforms, allowing users to focus on what matters most.
