Trusted by leading manufacturers and distributors
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.
Forward or Upload
Forward the PO email to your LevelOps inbox, or upload the PDF directly in the app.
