What the Katana–Cart.com (Jazz Central) integration does

Cart.com (Jazz Central) is a warehouse, order-management, and transportation-management platform that powers Cart.com's fulfillment operations. It connects inventory, orders, warehouse workflows, carrier selection, shipping, and sales channels.

By connecting Katana with Cart.com (Jazz Central), you can:

  • Import orders as sales orders: Cart.com orders become Katana sales orders, with each shipped package recorded as a fulfillment with carrier and tracking.

  • Send sales orders for fulfillment: A Katana sales order is sent to Cart.com when it reaches the Ready for fulfillment status.

  • Import products by SKU: Products are matched by SKU, and SKU aliases bridge mismatched SKUs.

  • See stock levels at mapped locations: Cart.com stock appears as read-only external inventory at each warehouse's mapped Katana location.

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