Manufacturing Order Entry Pains

These challenges slow down production and cost manufacturers thousands every month.

⏱️

Hours Lost to Manual Entry

Your team spends 5-10 minutes per order copying product names and quantities from PDFs into Katana—line by tedious line, delaying production planning.

🏭

Production Schedule Delays

Orders stuck in data entry can't trigger manufacturing. The longer it takes to create sales orders, the longer your production line waits.

🎯

SKU Matching Across Systems

Customers use their own product codes. Your ERP uses another. Matching between Katana, Shopify, and customer POs becomes a daily puzzle.

Costly Manufacturing Errors

One wrong SKU = wrong product manufactured = wasted materials, rework, and missed deadlines. Each error costs $500+ in manufacturing.

From PDF to Sales Order in 3 Steps

No complex setup. No templates required. Works with Katana MRP and Shopify.

1
PDF

Forward or Upload

Forward the PO email to your LevelOps inbox, or upload the PDF directly in the app.

2
AI

AI Extracts & Matches

Our AI reads product names, quantities, and variants—then matches to your Katana or Shopify catalog.

3
KATANA SHOPIFY

Review & Approve

A sales order appears in Katana (or draft order in Shopify) with correct products, quantities, and pricing.

Built for Manufacturing & Distribution

Purpose-built for Katana MRP users who need fast, accurate order entry to keep production moving.

🧠

Smart Product Matching

AI matches products even with partial SKUs, alternate names, or vague descriptions. Works across Katana and Shopify catalogs.

Example: "Lg Blue Widget" → Katana SKU: WDG-BLU-LG
🔗

Katana + Shopify Sync

Orders flow seamlessly between systems. Create sales orders in Katana that sync with Shopify, or vice versa.

Result: One order entry, both systems updated
📄

No Template Required

Works with any PO format—messy spreadsheets, formal PDFs, or plain email text. No reformatting needed.

Supported: PDF, Excel, CSV, Word, email body text
🏭

Production-Ready Orders

Sales orders in Katana are ready to trigger manufacturing orders. No additional data entry needed.

Benefit: Faster time-to-production
🛡️

Error Prevention
