What the Katana–NLRP integration does

NLRP (Next Level Resource Partners) is a third-party logistics and fulfillment provider offering warehousing, inventory management, pick-and-pack, shipping, and related services through its own ERP/WMS.

By connecting Katana with NLRP, you can:

  • Import orders as sales orders: NLRP orders become Katana sales orders, with each shipped package added as a fulfillment with carrier and tracking.

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

  • Import products by SKU: Products match existing Katana products by SKU, and SKU aliases bridge mismatched SKUs.

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

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

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