What the Katana–GoBolt integration does

GoBolt is a logistics and fulfillment platform that provides inventory storage, order processing, picking, packing, shipping, last-mile delivery, and returns across North America.

By connecting Katana with GoBolt, you can:

  • Import orders as sales orders: Each GoBolt 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 GoBolt for fulfillment: A Katana sales order is pushed to GoBolt when it reaches the Ready for fulfillment status.

  • Cancel pushed orders from Katana: Cancelling a pushed Katana sales order also cancels the matching GoBolt order.

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

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

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

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