A Katana Case Study
Sylmasta, a UK-based manufacturer of industrial repair products, faced operational challenges due to its custom-built manufacturing system in Microsoft Access. The system was isolated and could not integrate with other software like QuickBooks Desktop, leading to manual data entry, inventory discrepancies, and a lack of visibility. This inefficiency hindered their stock management and growth, prompting them to seek a solution from the vendor Katana.
By implementing Katana's cloud inventory platform, Sylmasta integrated its production, inventory, and sales management. The solution provided real-time visibility, batch tracking, and an intuitive interface that was easy for operators to adopt. As a result, Sylmasta streamlined its order fulfillment process, reduced errors, and gained better control over inventory without increasing managerial overhead. The managing director stated that revenue increased because they were able to manage more orders without hiring more staff.
