What the Katana–Its Here integration does

Its Here is a cloud-based logistics platform that combines warehouse management, inventory management, fulfillment, delivery management, and related supply-chain tools in one system.

By connecting Katana with Its Here, you can:

  • Map warehouses to Katana locations: Each Its Here warehouse is linked to its own dedicated Katana location, and only mapped warehouses sync.

  • Import products by SKU: Its Here products match existing Katana products by SKU, unknown SKUs create new products, and SKU aliases bridge mismatched SKUs.

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