Katana optimizes for simplicity. Good for makers and new businesses who need to begin using a digital tool to track inventory and schedule basic jobs.
Intelligence
Built for growing small and medium manufacturers, Fulcrum helps you perform complicated tasks quickly — like building unified BOM & Routings, purchasing materials, and live job costing. Everything is interconnected.
Katana MRP
Past
A rearview mirror. You can see what's happening, but you don't have any visibility into where you're going.
Future
Go beyond real-time and see into your future, live. Demand planning, inventory recommendations, and estimated production completion dates give you a clear path forward. Nobody else does this.
Katana MRP
Broad
For anyone who considers themselves a maker. Built for everything from a small ecommerce shop to pet food suppliers to coffee roasters.
Focused
We work with a lot of industrial manufacturers building things from raw materials like CNC machine shops, sheet metal fabricators, and more. Created for growing companies, able to scale with you.
Faster workflows for the way you work.
Automated and dynamic scheduling
No more late jobs. Automated scheduling creates the best master schedule for all incoming orders. And as priorities shift, the algorithm reshuffles for the most on-time jobs as possible.
Interactive instructions, CAD files, custom quality checkpoints, live chat, and more help you run a tight shop. Know what to do, and get live inventory and progress insights. Stay in-the-know from anywhere.
