Verdict
Katana excels by focusing narrowly on the needs of small manufacturers, providing a visually intuitive 'manufacturing ERP' that makes production scheduling and inventory tracking simple.
What customers praise
Its live inventory management automatically allocates raw materials to production orders and finished goods to sales orders, giving a real-time view of what's available to promise.
What customers criticise
The platform's core financials are limited; it is designed to sync with dedicated accounting software like QuickBooks or Xero, meaning it is not a true all-in-one ERP.
Best for
Small manufacturers and direct-to-consumer brands that need precise control over raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods.
