What the Katana–G Global integration does
G Global is a cross-border logistics provider serving the United States and Mexico. It offers warehousing, fulfillment, distribution, inventory management, and 3PL services.
By connecting Katana with G Global, you can:
Import orders as sales orders: G Global orders become Katana sales orders, and each shipped package adds a fulfillment with carrier and tracking details.
Send sales orders to G Global for fulfillment: A Katana sales order is pushed to G Global when it reaches the Ready for fulfillment status.
Import products by SKU: Existing Katana products are matched by SKU, and SKU aliases bridge mismatched SKUs.
See stock levels at mapped locations: G Global stock appears as read-only external inventory at each warehouse's mapped Katana location.
Track inbound shipments as stock transfers: Each G Global inbound shipment becomes a Katana stock transfer that updates as stock is received.
Map warehouses to locations: Each G Global warehouse links to its own dedicated Katana location.
