Case Study: Puppy Cake achieves accurate inventory visibility and fewer stock-outs with Katana

Puppy Cake Has Total Control of Their Operations and Inventory with Katana

Puppy Cake, a U.S.-based maker of natural pet treats and baking supplies, struggled to forecast ingredient purchasing and plan labor several weeks out, relying on Excel spreadsheets that led to frequent stock-outs and scheduling headaches. To address these issues, Puppy Cake turned to Katana’s manufacturing ERP software for inventory visibility, auto-booking, and a master production schedule.

Katana implemented accurate stock tracking, an auto-booking system that allocates materials to orders, and a visual drag-and-drop production planner so Puppy Cake can reprioritize work and get instant feedback on resource sufficiency. As a result, Puppy Cake significantly improved operations, inventory control, and time management and drastically reduced production stoppages caused by stock-outs.
