What the Katana–Deposco integration does

Deposco is a cloud-based supply-chain fulfillment platform that combines warehouse management, order management, shipping, and inventory orchestration in one system.

By connecting Katana with Deposco, you can:

  • Import orders as sales orders: Each Deposco order becomes a Katana sales order, and shipped packages arrive as fulfillments with carrier and tracking details.

  • Send sales orders to Deposco for fulfillment: A Katana sales order is pushed to Deposco as an outbound order when it reaches the Ready for fulfillment status.

  • Import products by SKU: Products match existing Katana items by SKU, and SKU aliases bridge SKUs that differ between the two systems.

  • See Deposco stock levels: Deposco stock appears as read-only external inventory at each mapped Katana location.

  • Track inbound shipments: Each Deposco inbound shipment becomes a Katana stock transfer that updates as stock is received.

Before you start

  • An active Deposco account.

  • The details the connection form asks for: Username, Password, Tenant Code, and Business Unit. You also need to know whether you use the Deposco UA (User Acceptance) environment, which is selected with the Sandbox/UA Environment option.

  • Searchable parameters enabled in Deposco for your account. Your 3PL enables these.

  • A Katana account with permission to manage integrations.
