Case Study: Maksense achieves real-time material control and halves spreadsheet time with Katana

Maksense Know Exactly When to Purchase More Materials with Katana

Maksense, a Portugal-based maker of Indexor systems that help clinical laboratories organize test tubes, faced inefficient material purchasing and production planning for both make-to-stock and make-to-order products. Relying on time-consuming spreadsheets left them constantly refreshing calculations and struggling to know when to reorder parts, so they adopted Katana’s manufacturing ERP—using features like automatic raw material management and the smart auto-booking system.

Katana provided real-time material calculations, low-stock alerts, and an intuitive drag-and-drop production planner that lets Maksense reprioritize orders while tracking material availability and delivery deadlines. The result: a drastic jump in efficiency—Maksense now spends half the time they used to on spreadsheet crawling and day-to-day operations thanks to Katana’s all-in-one solution.
