Manufacturing journalist, TR Cutler recently profiled Katana cloud-based manufacturing software as best-suited for small manufacturers. The feature article was published in Manufacturing Tomorrow, an online trade magazine featuring products, companies, news, articles, and events for the manufacturing sector.
According to Cutler, small manufacturers are overlooked too often. Ironic since 90% of manufacturing operations have fewer than 100 employees and under $10M in annual sales. Even the smallest manufacturers face the same material requirements planning (MRP) demands as Fortune 1000 manufacturers. Fast-growing smaller manufacturers require a robust and effective production planning, scheduling, and inventory control systems to help manage their manufacturing processes.
The top consideration is still price for these new or growing smaller firms. The only viable option is a SaaS (Software as a Service) pay-as-you-go monthly service fee. All operations and information must be packaged into a single, unified system that presents users with relevant manufacturing data such as materials, productions, warehouse status, sales and purchase orders.
Because many small manufacturers operate in the B2C environment, cloud-based Katana manufacturing software offers integration with well-known manufacturing apps such as Shopify, QuickBooks, Xero, WooCommerce and BigCommerce.
