What the Katana–Mintsoft integration does

Mintsoft is a cloud-based warehouse and order management platform for third-party logistics providers, fulfilment businesses, ecommerce retailers, and multichannel sellers. It handles order retrieval, inventory synchronisation, picking, packing, shipping, and warehouse operations.

By connecting Katana with Mintsoft, you can:

  • Import orders as sales orders: Mintsoft orders become Katana sales orders, with fulfillments, carrier, and tracking added as packages ship.

  • Send sales orders to Mintsoft for fulfillment: Katana sales orders are pushed to Mintsoft as outbound orders when they reach Ready for fulfillment.

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

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

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