Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently we are using Katana Cloud Inventory as an inventory control program. Katana Cloud Inventory is pretty good for parts coming in and going out. We have been using Katana Cloud Inventory for almost 6 months now. It's functions are easy to use and it is also an easy program to learn. For a warehouse that does a lot of incoming/outgoing shipping and receiving this is a great program.

Pros

  • Tracks incoming and outgoing parts/items
  • Very easy to use and easy to learn.
  • Able to implement the program quickly and begin using because of ease of use

Cons

  • Auto email generated with PO's cannot be permanently altered in my opinion.
  • Different pack sizes of same items do not automatically fill in inventory I've found. For example, we order an item in singles, 4-packs, and 32 packs. In my experience, If we order the 32 pack, it does not show inventory for the smaller unit sizes. Each pack size has a different item number I believe.
  • Fields on the PO are not adjustable in my experience. You must create a template and use the template. You cannot change the PO each time unless you have a template created in my experience.
  • When closing out a sales order, if you invoice from Katana Cloud Inventory and send to Quickbooks, it automatically enables the invoice to receive credit cards in Quickbooks. We use another credit card service (not Quickbooks) and do not want this feature turned on. There is no way to disable it at this time.
  • When being billed for a PO that has been received and that bill is sent over to Quickbooks, it does not show item counts in my expereince. It only translates as a total dollar amount for each line item.

Likelihood to Recommend

Katana Cloud Inventory is great for shipping and receiving busiiness. Where things are very cut and dry as far as what comes in and what goes out, this program is excellent at keeping track of these things. We do a lot of custom build items and it is not the greatest for these. A lot of time it is difficult to both enter these items and keep track of these items.
