Katana Cloud Manufacturing (Katana Cloud Inventory) is a cloud platform for real-time inventory and production management. It lets makers and small manufacturers plan and schedule manufacturing orders, allocate raw materials, track stock across locations, and manage purchasing and order fulfillment. It syncs sales and production by integrating with e-commerce, accounting, and shipping tools.

RetailOps is a cloud-based, all-in-one retail operations and ERP platform built for eCommerce and omni-channel retailers who need to run inventory, order management, warehouse operations (WMS), and purchasing/vendor management from a single system. It's aimed at small-to-mid-size and scaling retailers—supporting businesses from multi-million to $100M+ in revenue and warehouses from 10,000 to over 1,000,000 sq. ft.—selling across marketplaces, their own storefronts, and brick-and-mortar POS. Its main differentiator is replacing multiple disconnected tools with one integrated platform whose Distributed Order Management pulls orders from every sales channel and keeps inventory and product data synced in real time.
