Manufacturing Outlook eZine Features Katana Cloud-based Manufacturing Software

Katana cloud-based manufacturing software was recently profiled in Manufacturing Outlook ezine. Manufacturing journalist, TR Cutler discussed Katana taking the lead by building integrations with popular e-commerce sales channels (such as Shopify and WooCommerce) and accounting tools (QuickBooks and Xero) to support smooth and automated workflows. 

Half of all manufacturers are building direct-to-consumer (D2C) channels, because today’s shoppers prefer to buy directly from brand manufacturers versus retailers. Direct-to-consumer manufacturers are expected to grow almost 20% per year, for the next five years, doubling the gross revenue in just a short five-year time span. 

The small manufacturers report an average 80% productivity boost because taking care of the manufacturing schedule keeps stock under control. The ability to properly return the focus to growing the business is the direct result.
