About Katana

Katana is a cloud manufacturing ERP built in Tallinn, Estonia, for small and mid-size manufacturers and brands that make their own products. It gives a real-time view of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods, and ties sales orders to production and purchasing so a business knows what it can make, what it needs to buy and when orders will ship.

Core modules cover inventory across multiple locations, multilevel bills of materials and recipes, production scheduling with a drag-and-drop priority list, purchasing with reorder points, batch and serial number tracking, and a shop floor app for operators. Native integrations with Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, QuickBooks Online and Xero sync sales orders and accounting, and an API and Zapier extend it further. A free plan covers up to 30 SKUs with unlimited users, while the custom-priced Advantage plan adds unlimited SKUs, custom integrations and a success manager on an annual contract.

Katana fits cosmetics, food and beverage, furniture, apparel and electronics makers that sell online or wholesale and have outgrown spreadsheets. Growing businesses may find the jump to custom pricing steep, and large manufacturers needing complex costing, quality management or multi-entity accounting will look at full ERPs. MRPeasy is a cheaper, more traditional alternative, Cin7 and inFlow focus on inventory for resellers, and Odoo offers manufacturing within a broader open-source ERP.
