Katana excels at manufacturing, but connecting production schedules to multiple sales channels and fulfillment methods requires complex manual coordination.
Managing raw materials, WIP, and finished goods inventory between Katana and commerce channels creates synchronization nightmares that impact both production and sales.
Processing orders from multiple channels through Katana while coordinating with 3PLs and dropship partners limits your ability to scale manufacturing operations.
