A Katana Case Study
Delta Development Team, Inc., a Tucson-based maker of portable blood and vaccine refrigeration units (including the APRU), faced poor material visibility and an unstructured manufacturing flow. To solve this, they moved from QuickBooks Desktop to Katana Cloud Manufacturing integrated with QuickBooks Online to get live inventory tracking, planning, and a continuous, auditable production process.
Katana delivered an inventory planner, Shop Floor App, multilocation management and serial-number tracking, plus QuickBooks Online integration — giving Delta live reorder flags, the ability to see what will run out in a month, assign shop-floor tasks, and quarantine nonconforming material. The result for Delta Development Team, Inc. was clearer production structure, fewer material errors, improved traceability (serial numbers on MOs and sales), and planning visibility that left only supplier-related delays.
