Adiasoft Production Software vs Katana

Adiasoft Production Software is a cloud-based production system for factories and industrial plants, covering production planning, MRP, manufacturing orders, shop-floor tracking, costs and e-invoicing. Its master production schedule uses demand and capacity, while multilevel bill-of-materials calculations generate purchase requirements. The system tracks production by stage, shift and daily output, and records actual material, labor and overhead costs per order. Paid plans list production reports, capacity and work centers, routings, quality control, waste and rework, lot and serial traceability, and OEE indicators. Connected modules include sales and e-invoicing, purchasing, CRM, treasury, accounting, payroll, supplier portal, quality control and machine maintenance. E-invoicing is filed with SUNAT in Peru; in 16 other countries, the system is configured but does not yet file documents with tax authorities. The free plan allows up to 100 monthly internal-control documents, which are not tax-valid. The product is available on the web. Plan Pyme costs $120 a month and Plan Corporativo costs $250 a month.

Katana is web-based inventory and order management software with barcode scanning, purchase orders, sales orders and stock alerts. Its permanent Free tier costs nothing, requires no credit card and has no expiry date. Free includes 30 SKUs, unlimited users, unlimited integrations and unlimited inventory locations. Core starts at $299 a month, scales with usage and add-ons, and includes unlimited SKUs, users and integrations with one inventory location. Advantage has no listed price and offers custom integrations, custom dashboards and reports, custom automations and workflows, a dedicated Solutions Engineer, SLA-backed maintenance and regular CSM check-ins. Katana is available on the web, with no mobile apps listed. The company was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia. The tiers create a clear capacity trade-off: Free allows unlimited inventory locations but limits SKUs to 30, while Core removes the SKU limit and provides one location.
