What the Katana–DaVinci integration does

DaVinci is a cloud-based warehouse management system for 3PLs, ecommerce, retail, wholesale, and food-and-beverage businesses. It centralizes inventory, receiving, picking, packing, fulfillment, orders, and reporting.

By connecting Katana with DaVinci, you can:

  • Import orders as sales orders: Each DaVinci order becomes a Katana sales order, and its fulfillments and tracking are added as packages ship.

  • 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: DaVinci stock appears as read-only external inventory at each warehouse's Katana location.

  • Turn inbound shipments into stock transfers: Each DaVinci inbound shipment becomes a Katana stock transfer that tracks its receiving progress.

  • Map warehouses to locations: Each DaVinci warehouse is linked to its own dedicated Katana location.
