Problem 2: Miscommunication between Sales Orders and Production

Solution: One of the constant issues manufacturing companies face is when their production and sales orders are not in sync. This can result in unprocessed orders and loss of customers. Katana address this concern by aligning the production and sales areas of manufacturing companies with sales order fulfillment function. This informs sales and production about customer orders and if their supply can fulfill it accordingly.
