What is Katana?

Katana is on a mission to build software manufacturers will love as much as the products they make.

Since 2017, we've given manufacturers worldwide a live look at their business, uniting all the processes and tools they use with intuitive and easy-to-use ERP software. Our customers range from hobby makers to multi-million-dollar manufacturing businesses. To date, we raised over $51 million in funding from VC firms and angel investors who, like us, believe the manufacturing software space needs more love.

Our customer base is growing rapidly; the same goes for our product. We're launching new features and updates every week, and there's no plan to stop anytime soon. This is where you come in.
