Case Study: CT LAB achieves a 30% improvement in daily operations efficiency with Katana

CT LAB Improves Daily Operations Efficiency by 30% with Katana

CT LAB, a South Africa–based designer and manufacturer of power-quality solutions (including the Vecto III device and OTELLO platform), struggled to keep accurate counts of transistors, circuits and ready items using spreadsheets and legacy business software. To gain control over resource and production planning and improve purchase planning, CT LAB selected Katana’s manufacturing ERP (notably because it integrates with their new accounting platform, Xero).

Katana provided integrated inventory and production control—making stock write-offs and adjustments simple, showing what’s in store and where, and streamlining manufacturing and purchasing workflows. By implementing Katana, CT LAB improved inventory control by 60%, optimized production planning and scheduling by 50%, and increased day-to-day operations efficiency by 30%, while gaining company-wide resource planning, task assignment and project monitoring.
