Katana

Katana builds cloud-based inventory and manufacturing software for product businesses that make and sell physical goods. Its Katana Cloud Inventory Platform combines inventory management, real-time master data visibility, production planning, purchasing tools and reporting in a single system, allowing teams to track stock, manage orders and run production from one place. The company was originally founded as a manufacturing resource planning tool and has since evolved into a broader cloud inventory platform.

Technical work spans cloud software, inventory management, manufacturing resource planning (MRP), production planning, real-time data visibility, e-commerce and accounting software integrations, and reporting and analytics. The platform is designed to replace manual tracking and spreadsheets with shared, real-time systems, and serves customers ranging from small merchants to multi-channel, multi-location businesses.

Katana's customers operate across sectors including food and beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, apparel, electronics, industrial manufacturing and e-commerce. The company is headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia, and serves product businesses around the world. Its stated aim is to give entrepreneurs the tools and resources to run and grow their operations.
