What the Katana–Canary7 integration does

Canary7 is a cloud-based warehouse management system for third-party logistics providers and for businesses that run warehouses alongside an ERP.

By connecting Katana with Canary7, you can:

  • Import orders as sales orders: Canary7 orders become Katana sales orders, and shipped packages arrive as fulfillments with carrier and tracking details.

  • Import products by SKU: Existing Katana products are matched by SKU, and SKU aliases can link SKUs that don't match.

  • See stock levels at mapped locations: Canary7 stock appears as read-only external inventory at each warehouse's Katana location.

  • Track inbound shipments as stock transfers: Each Canary7 inbound shipment becomes a Katana stock transfer that updates as goods are received.

  • Map warehouses to locations: Each Canary7 warehouse links to its own dedicated Katana location.
