What the Katana–Fulfillor integration does

Fulfillor is a cloud-based warehouse management and fulfillment platform for 3PLs, fulfillment teams, and ecommerce businesses. It connects sales channels, inventory, warehouse workflows, shipping carriers, and tracking in one system.

By connecting Katana with Fulfillor, you can:

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

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

  • Import products by SKU: Existing Katana products are matched by SKU, and SKU aliases connect SKUs that differ between the two systems.

  • See stock levels at mapped locations: Fulfillor's stock numbers appear in Katana as read-only external inventory at each warehouse's mapped location.

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

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

  4. Inbound shipments to your Fulfillor warehouses appear in Katana as stock transfers and update as goods are received.
