ERPAG vs Katana Cloud Manufacturing Comparison

Full Featured software that integrated with quickbooks online. Most every manufacturing and sales features is included.

Could be a little more intuitive. No CSV support

Ease of use, comprehensive features and great customer support

No accounting module, web interface is not responsive on mobile devices

Ease of manufacturing, Order processing and how customizable everything is

I wish there were a little more API customization and ability to auto call orders from marketplace platforms. Also the xero integration forces you to choose one selling COA so if you sell from multiple warehouse locations you cant separate what account it should push to so then you have manually change the sale account in XERO... that is a mission

ERPAG has been a livesaver, highly recommended for manufacturing and inventory keeping.

Can become pricey with more users. we will have to keep the amount users low.

We like that this software allows for CRM, BOM and manufacturing planning.

This software does not have a human resources feature. This may also pose an issue when trying to track individual job performance.

Manufacturing made seemless, the quick sale pos is relentless and very easy to use.

The software has no accounts, but on the postive side you can link to quick books.

The system for the price dies everything a manufacturing business needs. Great Job

I would like to see the basic package having at least 3 users to start with

Simple in its layout and use but remaining very powerful in its ability, I have only used the mobile app briefly but it was a great experience.

We manufacture in three separate workshops in separate parts of the country and each location manufactures some of the same products, Because of the location differences each workshop has different suppliers for parts/raw materials, A feature that would be handy would be the option when creating a product based on bill of materials have the ability to create multiple bill of materials based on warehouse and have the option when that product is chosen in a sales order the sales person can select the appropriate warehouse and then the correct purchase orders are created for the correct suppliers.

Transparent, yet with every aspect of a manufacturing program you would need, and also quickbooks integration is a plus

Things do not save automatically - I lost a practice kit set up as I got logged out after a few minutes of inactivity.

Finally for a reasonable price we can keep track of our inventory, manufacturing use of materials, warehousing and supply chain

The accounting module is not adapted to the Spanish accounting principles

Very easy to use and set up. Integrated solution from customer lead to PO management. I love the BOM structure to manage some of our complicated products.

limited customization capability. This tool is tailoring to manufacturing. So I'd really hope we could tweak some minor customization to better fit our business.

I'm impressed by Erpag's suite of features for manufacturing and inventory control. It is a great platform to manage production materials and workorders.

I have experienced a handful of crashes and other minor bugs. The type of tasks that can be performed in the app are limited.

Intitutive & Easy to use. Neatly laid out and fairly complete. It seems to have all features required for supporting a manufacturing and sales operation.

It's only cloud based. The worry is if there is a failure of the cloud system, there is no local hosting to continue to use the product.

- Ease of use - UX/UI is great - Limits manual inputs very much - Modules are well knitted together

- Light accounting module but still adequate

GUI, speed, report template editing, **amazing** embedded support (videos, chat zone), XLS import/export. You can tell that they have real manufacturing experience.

Lack of key CRM features (leads --> opportunities --> quotations, emailings), forcing the use of other third-party tools, which is a bit sad. Seems like it would be super simple for them to add.

It is very customizable, which is a must for where I work, we do custom manufacturing and it's nice to be able to add fields.

User Interface and Experience. It doesn't flow as well as I'd like and it looks a bit clunky.

We like ERPAG features in that many align with our needs now and there is lots of room to scale.

A few functions are not intuitive, and I have had some issues with the search function for the Product list being inconsistent. One exchange with online help made me wonder if the agent actually understood the mfg/inv/purchase process.

YOU DO EVERYTHING ON ONE PLATFORM INVENTORY ,QUOTATION ,INVOICING ETC

I STRUGGLE TO LOAD MY MATERIAL IT DOESNT GIVE YOU THE OPTIONS

This software has many options and many deep customization options and very good for various Industries and mainly for manufacturing Industry.. Also while exploring I got very prompt response from support team.

No software is 100% perfect but we need to customize it as per our need and demands. ERPAG is very much customization friendly and by little practice and help from support team you can go on it.

I am very impressed with the thoughtful approach to full scope manufacturing operations, without getting too complex for a business of our size. The modularity and granularity of modeling work operations is a huge plus

I'd like to see the ability to optimize order picking work flow to a shelf location floor plan. Currently There is only a packing list, but no specific pick list. This would be a valuable feature for our workflow.

I love the ease and simplicity of the program and data entry.

Would like to see the edit button go away, If I am in a tab I would like to just be able to type. Please update the events section, I would love to see a widget of the events and auto updating the event when in customer accounts. Then the Program will be perfect!

What I like is that I an tack an order from beginning until the end. Also I liked the fact that I could import data fro mypreviuos ERP system. I did not have to start from scratch. The integration into the E-commerce.

The fact that it does not integrate with my current E-commerce software. But I will be able to switch say to Shopify.

The number of features included in the software and the pricing tiers are a pleasant surprise in the age of paid add-ons or poorly developed and overpriced software packages available for manufacturing and production control.

The learning curve might be a little steep for a single person to est out all that the software has to offer and the documentation could use some detailed examples on how to use some modules and the sequence to follow when entering data manually or via import. But given all the things this software does right it is understandable that it would have a delay in the documentation for some modules.

It's really simple to enter materials and create technological processes. User interface is well organized and easy to navigate. I really like mobile app, where you can assign tasks to operators and measure manufacturing time.

I didn't find an option to set custom serial number template for products. It would be great if you could enter first serial number with increment option.

the multi-level BOM, integration with eCommerce and ability to combine sales orders, purchase orders, inventory and more in one place was exactly what we were looking for in a new platform for our growing manufacturing company.

Lack of options regarding integrations for payment processing and shipping API services.

The user interface is clean and very intuitive, requiring essentially no time to learn. Some of the other MRP solutions we tried were difficult to navigate and use, and training on them would have been labor intensive and costly. Katana is beautifully designed, and the batch-tracking and inventory management is easy to adapt to our business (MRPeasy/ERPAG were very clearly not designed with food manufacturing in mind, so making them even remotely functional for that purpose felt like a bit of a fools errand, whereas Katana just works).

While it is very user-friendly and it has the ability to track batches/lots (which is critical for us), we've had to develop workarounds to make it function the way we need it to -- it doesn't quite handle this the way I would envision it should. There are also some minor time wasters. If there's one simple feature I wish they would change, it's being able to type in the expiration dates rather than having to scroll through the calendar manually to select the correct date. This becomes so onerous when receiving multiple items on a PO and having to manually click through/scroll through the calendar to select the correct date as opposed to simply having a field that allows you to type in the date and move on.
