What the Katana–SKUSavvy integration does

SKUSavvy is a warehouse management system for managing inventory, orders, picking, packing, shipping, and fulfillment across multiple locations.

By connecting Katana with SKUSavvy, you can:

  • Import orders as sales orders: Each SKUSavvy order becomes a Katana sales order, and shipped packages become fulfillments with carrier and tracking details.

  • Send Katana sales orders to SKUSavvy for fulfillment: A Katana sales order is pushed to SKUSavvy 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 stock levels at mapped locations: SKUSavvy stock numbers appear as read-only external inventory at each warehouse's mapped Katana location.

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

  • An active SKUSavvy account.

  • A SKUSavvy API key, which you generate from your SKUSavvy account's tokens page. The Katana connection form asks for this key.
