Katana Cloud Inventory

Cons: $79

Pros: Company of any size can use it, you can in theory intergate with lot of other tool like Quickbook and Shopify

Cons: It's very Expansive , even more when you want to follow the lot number. it starts at 179$ per month, if you take the annual billing, which I don't recommend unless you know it very well , the monthly paiement starts at 199$ The solution I am using now cost 39$/month on a monthly paiement basis it's a big difference

Pros: Before using Katana, I was doing everything manually. I can't express how reliant I have become on MRP software.

Cons: They have increased prices by 523% since we started using this service. Bugs are ever-present, and they take existing features away to put behind a behind a paywall.

Pros: I'm not sure what your situation is, but I was creating my POs and tracking how much of every component to order manually in Google Sheets. Yep, it was a pain. I tried a few competitor options, but they were designed in an awkward way; I needed to guess/lookup/read up. With Katana, my first day was already productive, and everything was intuitive. I even told my friend who is a UX/UI for Meta to go look at the only software that I like using (compared to the FB ads nightmare wormhole of dashboard:))

Cons: Direct integration with Amazon would be nice. The route they have rn is through another app and it's another subscription price

Pros: It worked for what I was expecting, it kept track of the items I needed to produce custom embroidered items. It was able to track when I needed to re buy items from my suppliers.

Cons: $7b

Pros: Great user interface, very easily operable.

Cons: Pricing is getting worse. Basic functions disappear and appear later as a paid add on for hefty monthly fee.

Pros: It seemed simple. It didn't work as originally sold, but they did improve it throughout the first year.

Cons: We THOUGHT it was going to be a good value. But after the first year, they took away functionality and doubled the price!

Pros: The user interface is pretty and nice to use, mostly The concepts of scheduling and general "idea" behind the katana system are good

Cons: $7c

Pros: $7d

Cons: Their extortionate pricing policies. Costs hiked fivefold over the last two years

Pros: Great inventory management software for the price.

Cons: Wish it worked better with other programs. We use Extensive for almost all other plugins. Also, wish it had a way to track cutting programs.

Pros: What i like the most about katana is Knowledge Base. it has answers to all questions and resourceful tutorial on how to manoeuvre the system.

Cons: I am still very new to the system and I have currently not come across anything i least like about Katana

Pros: The ease of use, as compared to larger MRP systems, helps keep the team on track.

Cons: There are some missing features - custom fields, tiered pricing, etc.

Pros: Its very very easy to use. Having used other systems, like inFlow, it has refreshing clean visually cued interface. Its very satisfying to use.

Cons: Very little - I would ask why they dont allow non-stock items to be a thing (we cant be the only ones!) - we have to make up that we have 1000s of imaginary non-stock items to keep the system happy. But its a tiny weeny gripe and has very little bearing on anything.

Pros: The ease of building products and variants. Our products have a lot of variants, and Katana makes it very easy to manage them all simultaneously. The previous MRP system used required us to build a unique BOM for every variant, which took significant time.

Cons: Minimum order quantity feature. Ability to reject/second quality part of a manufacturing lot. Develop an easy way to see product list not broken down into variants. Have the ability to only show certain BOM items on the shop floor app. Consumables like glue and tape don't need to be shown.

Pros: I loved the user interface and the ease of working with the system. The system is very intuitive and with the instructional videos you can pretty much pick up the basics very quickly. I love the way that you can upload information through Excel and the system is flexible with the upload. Also the seamless integration with Quickbooks online is very nice.

Cons: One of the features that is missing, but they are working on it, is sales forecasting by SKU. This would be a great feature to add as it will allow us to add our expected sales for each SKU and have the system forecast demand. Another issue is when you have a price rule for a client in QuickBooks Katana has no way to see this, so when the invoice is pushed to QuickBooks you have to go through each individual line to accept the price rule. Not a game changer, but a bit of a hassle.

Pros: The setup is quick and easy and the customer service is nothing short of excellent. We love the simple interface which makes it easy to train others on,. The Excel templates allow for bulk uploads of all of the required data categories which doesn't need to be uploaded manually.

Cons: It could be more circular in that you sometimes have to jump back and forth within the system to complete a task. The production operation feature should allow you to set a default number of labor hours per task so that it isn't required with each manufacturing order setup.

Pros: it was easy to set up the team helped me a lot

Cons: it was a easy set up i did not have anything i did not like

Pros: manufacturing and inventory management.integration with quick books

Cons: cannot move existing s.o. to quote or canceled status.

Pros: The software is very easy to use and I like the automatic saving feature but also able to edit transactions as well.

Cons: I would like to be able to process payments through eCommerce in Katana, those need to be done manually.

Pros: The set up and use of Katana is super easy and user friendly! The online resources they provide are incredibly helpful. I found the Katana Academy videos the most helpful.

Cons: Katana does not provide a way to "waste" products, however I know that Katana is currently working on implementing a program to do this. The only true complaint is that it doesn't support fractions. Our products are divided into 12 and when inputting the "recipes and boms" 1 is not divisible by 12 evenly. This makes us have to stock adjust to get proper inventory counts.

Pros: It's great because with this platform, I have the ability to efficiently manage my inventory, work orders, scheduling and tracking, very good all in one place.

Cons: I think they could improve is in the flexibility of customization. Although it offers a wide range of features, sometimes I would like to be able to further customize certain aspects according to the specific needs of my business.

Pros: The UX and UI of app. Literaly everyone n our team is able to work with Katana how it is simply.

Cons: Not very often but sometimes app kick me out and I have to log in again.
