Case Study: Paper Republic achieves 60% improvement in production planning with Katana

Paper Republic Improves Production Planning by 60% with Katana

Paper Republic, an Austria-based maker of vegetable-tanned leather journals and accessories founded in 2013, struggled with production planning and real-time inventory visibility—large orders could jeopardize smaller ones and stock synchronization with Shopify was unreliable. To address these challenges they adopted Katana’s manufacturing ERP to gain control over inventory, production steps and order prioritization.

Katana implemented SKU-level manufacturing steps, resource and raw-material allocation, real-time inventory tracking and a smart auto-booking system, giving Paper Republic clearer production cost visibility, better team communication and easier order prioritization. As a result, Paper Republic improved production planning by 60% and boosted inventory accuracy by 29%, while streamlining sourcing, WIP and finished-goods management and Shopify stock sync.
