Case Study: SpeedShield Technologies achieves global expansion and real-time operational visibility with Katana

How SpeedShield scaled by partnering with Cohesis and implementing Katana

SpeedShield Technologies, an Australian IoT company specializing in telemetry and safety cameras for industrial vehicles, was struggling with a legacy ERP system that had been built for forklift rentals and didn’t fit its electronics manufacturing workflows. The outdated system forced the team into manual workarounds and Excel-based processes, making manufacturing order management, work-in-progress tracking, and scaling increasingly difficult.

SpeedShield Technologies implemented Katana, with support from certified partner Cohesis, to replace the legacy ERP and connect inventory, manufacturing, Xero accounting, and CRM data in one platform. With Katana, the company gained real-time visibility into operations and financials, improved process control, and was able to expand internationally, including opening in the US and planning for Europe, while also hiring 15 additional employees.
