What Problems Will Katana Solve?

Problem 1: Low Raw Material Levels

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.

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.

Problem 3: Forecasting Demand

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.
