What the Katana–VeraCore integration does

VeraCore is a SaaS platform for 3PLs and fulfillment providers. It combines order management with warehouse execution, account management, billing, shipping, and e-commerce integrations.

By connecting Katana with VeraCore, you can:

  • Import orders as sales orders: Each VeraCore order becomes a Katana sales order, and each shipped package adds a fulfillment with carrier and tracking.

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

  • Import products by SKU: Products match on SKU, and SKU aliases bridge SKUs that differ between the two systems.

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

  • Track inbound shipments as stock transfers: Each VeraCore inbound shipment becomes a Katana stock transfer that updates as goods are received.

Before you start

  • An active VeraCore account.

  • A VeraCore Web Service User with API access. You enter its API Username in the Katana connection form. Your VeraCore representative can help you set this up.

  • Optional but recommended: the (DO NOT EDIT) Product Availability by Warehouse dynamic report. It lets on-hand counts include Unavailable units. See the credentials article for details.

  • A Katana account with permission to manage integrations.

How your daily workflow looks

  1. When a Katana sales order reaches Ready for fulfillment, Katana sends it to VeraCore as an outbound order.

  2. VeraCore picks, packs, and ships the order.

  3. Orders and their status changes land in Katana as sales orders. Each shipped package adds a fulfillment with tracking.

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

  5. Stock levels from VeraCore update as read-only external inventory at your mapped locations.

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