What the Katana–Sojo integration does

Sojo is an automated amenity-fulfillment platform for vacation-rental operators. It prepares and ships amenity kits and replenishment supplies timed to each stay.

By connecting Katana with Sojo, you can:

  • Import orders as sales orders: Each Sojo order becomes a Katana sales order that keeps updating, with each shipped package recorded as a fulfillment with carrier and tracking.

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

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

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

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

Before you start

  • An active Sojo account.

  • The credentials the connection form asks for: Consumer key, Consumer secret, Access token, Access secret and Realm. Your Sojo representative provides these when API access is set up.

  • A Katana account with permission to manage integrations.

How your daily workflow looks

  1. A Katana sales order reaches Ready for fulfillment and is sent to Sojo as an outbound order.

  2. Sojo fulfills and ships the order.

  3. Order updates and fulfillments with carrier and tracking appear in Katana, along with orders created directly in Sojo.

  4. Sojo inbound shipments appear as Katana stock transfers and update as stock is received.

  5. Sojo's stock levels update as external inventory at your mapped locations. Reconciliation creates stock adjustments for any differences.

  6. You plan purchasing and production in Katana using up-to-date stock and order data.
