Case Study: System76 achieves an 80% boost in production planning efficiency with Katana

System76 boosts production planning by 80% with Katana

System76, a Denver-based Linux computer manufacturer, struggled as spreadsheets became time-consuming and error-prone for tracking stock movement, scheduling shop-floor tasks, and prioritizing production. Looking for a mid-market manufacturing ERP rather than a costly, complex system, System76 chose Katana to get the visibility and control they lacked.

Katana delivered an easy-to-use manufacturing ERP with features like the Shop Floor App and bill of materials to track components through to finished goods and prioritize operations. After implementing Katana, System76 cut admin time by 50%, improved inventory control by more than 60%, and boosted production planning efficiency by close to 80%, enabling clearer order-of-operations and faster scaling of their manufacturing.
