very powerful app, that covered all of our needs and more. We had a great onboard experience. You'll be assigned an onboard specialist who is widely available to support you and answer questions. Taylor Hagel was our onboard specialist and he knew the software inside and out and communicated very well.

The integration is very simple and easy to set up! I wish we could carry tags from Shopify to Katana as well as delay the synch, so it is not automatic. However, we were able to find work around and the app works great overall.

My experience using Katana for the last month has been incredible. The way it is set up makes it easy to understand and learn quickly. If you have a small-mid sized product based business, this will probably be a great ERP solution for you. Also, my onboarding coach Eugene was great at walking me through my many questions, and different scenarios that Katana could work for our company. Ask for him if you decide to get Katana, you won't be disappointed.

We’re a new user to Katana and have recently integrated it with Shopify. All indications suggest that this integration is a fantastic solution, eliminating the need for manual data entry and enhancing the accuracy of orders. As we gain more experience with the intricacies of the integrations, we’ll share more insights and feedback. For now, it’s an excellent start.

We've been using Katana for a couple months, and it has made tracking inventory much easier. There is room for improvement, especially to the interface with Quickbooks, but overall we're satisfied with the product and continuing to become more proficient. Customer service has been great, particularly our onboarding coach, Brendan, who was a delight to work with. He's extremely knowledgeable about every facet of the product and explains things clearly. He was always responsive, patient, and ready with answers, often going beyond expectations. We cannot thank him enough.

We've been using Katana Cloud Inventory Management for our product-based business, and it has been a game-changer! The platform itself is incredibly intuitive and easy to navigate, which made the transition seamless. What truly stood out was the Katana team—they were super helpful during the entire setup process, answering all of our questions and making sure everything was tailored to our needs. Having their support made all the difference. Katana is definitely an asset for any product-based business looking to streamline operations with an easy-to-use and supportive system. Highly recommend!

We are Cheeky Cocktails (makers of premium syrups and juices for the bar) and recently changed over our inventory management system to Katana. We couldn't be happier with the experience and the support we received from Steven White and his team. Onboarding was flawless and integration into Shopify was very positive. We look forward to growing with them and using their incredible platform.

Katana has been fantastic since we began using it 4 months ago. My sales rep worked with me to get pricing that matched our budget and use needs for our very seasonal business. My onboarding rep was always accessible. It was very easy to set up meetings with him and he was very responsive via email and personalized step-by-step videos for managing support in between. The platform is intuitive and saves automatically so it is easy to move from one task to the next. Favorite features include the forecasting, material tracing, and material planning. We had used Cin7 previously and that seems prehistoric in comparison to Katana's functionality. Strongly recommend Katana for both the platform itself as well as the support provided to ensure success.

We've been very happy with Katana. It makes it easy to remotely manage inventory and see everything going on. We were able to bypass some of the long onboarding because we knew what we were doing. Overall very happy and keeps us very organized!

Horrible. Foreign company! Overcharged us and agree they owe us 8K yet refuse to refund! Sudden and unexplained major increases in cost. Not robust. Glitchy. Other like softwares are far better and far less in cost with better CS! Not impressed. Worst CS and staff. We are reporting the theft and fraud to the authorities.

We have been using this system for about 2 months and we are very satisfied. We have tried many inventory systems and finally found what we were looking for. I would especially like to thank Fred for all his help.

Onboarind takes a while, but there is a lot to take in with the software. Once up and running its great. Brendan was very helpful and responsive. A very powerful tool when used correctly.

Our onboarding manager, Steve, was incredibly helpful during the transition to Katana. So far, we’ve had a great experience using the platform.

It took us several months to onboard Katana. The system is glitchy. When things dont work as expected, we are always told our issue "will be taken to the developers" or they are "working on that". There are all these manual work-arounds that, rather than decreasing our workload by leveraging AI, required us to do extra work just to have basic functions and accurate data. After a couple months of onboarding and a couple months using it, we are switching to a different platform that's more intuitive and allows more customization. I agree with the comments with the tripling price - we were initially told we could get all the services we needed at $99/mo, but by the time we finished onboarding, it was up to $400/mo. The platform we are using now is around that price and I wish we had gone with them from the get-go.

Katana was great until they increased the price by 60% and took away features at the same time. Had been offered a discount which never came. Won't ever deal with this company ever again.

Nice features overall but a lot are behind expensive add-ons and pricing can change all of a sudden substantially. We got blindsided at the beginning of this year and are looking for other solutions. We started using Katana just over two years ago and have been happy with the software. There are some bugs and some features that can be improved but overall it has been a big help. We had the starter subscription at $99 with the Shop floor add-on at $199 per month. In February Katana ramped up the subscription fees and forced us into the higher subscription to be able to continue using the Shop floor add-on. We went from $349/month to now $598/month. If you want to mark the location of a pallet with a bin number that is now another $199/month on top the other cost. We have a lot of products invested a huge amount of time getting it setup so I really don't want to move. We are in the busy time of year so I don't have the time to invest in switching apps but I am definitely keeping my eye out for another options.

We were a customer for 2 years then they blindsided us with a 4x price increase to our yearly subscription in January. When I questioned them about this sudden increase, Katana told us it was to bring their pricing in line with other MRPs. It certainly wasn't because the platform got 4x better. It's not as feature rich as other MRPs at the same price point. And this little stunt allowed us to reevaluate our situation. We've since moved to another MRP -I refuse to support a business that doesn't respect its customers.
Thanks for sharing your feedback. We understand your concern and appreciate your business. The decision to change our subscription offerings was made after careful consideration and necessary to continue to deliver excellent service and product/feature development to our customers. We do our best to give our customers ample advanced warning of any subscription changes and always offer support via our in-app Support Chat. Furthermore, we offer the option to schedule a call with a dedicated Success Manager to discuss subscription plan optimization and the individualized effects of plan changes on our customers. Regardless, we understand that price and plan changes are never easy and that ultimately they do not work out for everyone. We’re here to help in your move away from Katana but also happy to discuss your needs and feedback further, should you like to continue to use Katana. All the best, Christopher @ Katana

Katana is overpriced, glitchy, and lacking features. The price I originally signed up to was quickly tripled or quadrupled and I was unsubscribed to the plan I had signed up to - by katana. There are companies charging the same price as katana is now charging that have much more functionality for the same price. CIN7 and some others. You should be completely disgraced by unsubscribing your existing customers and forcing them on to your new plan at an exorbitant amount extra. 10 / 10 I would not recommend katana to an enemy.
Hi. We understand that for some customers the recent pricing changes have been difficult, sorry to see you go! All updates to our pricing model were based evaluating our customers' needs first, and the new pricing is designed to reflect the value we’ve built and continue to build, as well as the comprehensive support we provide day in, day out.
