Solution: Katana’s real-time raw material inventory management provides users with a more accurate view of their supply. Users can program Katana to notify them whenever their company’s raw materials are running low or insufficient in relation to their shipping quota.
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.
Solution: Forecasting demand is another issue manufacturers often encounter in their daily operations. Relying on spreadsheets might result in erroneous inventory data that can cause disastrous accounting for the company’s available supply. Katana’s auto-booking system allocates available material to the most recent manufacturing orders, so users can effortless see if they have enough resources to complete their operations.

We installed the software and started to populate it. After a while we experienced login problems. For some mysterious reason, some users can only login to it from one computer but when they try it from a different computer using the same credentials then it fails. Documentation is poor - when we go to the Wiki, the FAQ pages are not available? The discussion page is also empty. We could not find a user manual. We are looking for other options.
Running on Ubuntu 16.04LTS server. It works very well. We wrote some aditional php web-page functions to directly access the MYSQL database to implement a few additional functions. Because it is open source it is relatively easy to modify for specific extra functions. Fast FREE and not encumbered by proprietary stuff, adverts or forcing you to divulge company data to an online service. Easy to do backups and clone to other machines. A really useful tool. It is a good idea if the administrator has a basic competance in Linux and web/php admin. Overall very good.
