What the Katana–Clarus integration does

Clarus WMS is a cloud-native warehouse management system for 3PLs, distributors, wholesalers, manufacturers, and ecommerce operators. It manages receiving, inventory, picking, despatch, and billing.

By connecting Katana with Clarus, you can:

  • Import orders as sales orders: Each Clarus order becomes a Katana sales order that updates through later status changes, with shipped packages added as fulfillments with carrier and tracking.

  • Send sales orders to Clarus for fulfillment: A Katana sales order is pushed to Clarus when it reaches Ready for fulfillment, and cancelling it in Katana cancels the Clarus order.

  • Import products by SKU: Existing Katana products are matched by SKU, and SKU aliases bridge mismatched SKUs.

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

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