What the Katana–RJW integration does

RJW Logistics Group is a retail-focused third-party logistics provider for consumer packaged goods companies. Its technology includes RJW Edge, an analytics platform for inventory, shipment, order, and performance visibility.

By connecting Katana with RJW, you can:

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

  • Import products by SKU: RJW products match existing Katana products by SKU, and SKU aliases bridge SKUs that differ between the two systems.

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

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

  • Map RJW warehouses to Katana locations: Each RJW warehouse links to its own dedicated Katana location, so data lands in the right place.

  2. Orders import into Katana as sales orders once they reach the import-from status, and they keep updating as their status changes.

  3. Each shipped package appears in Katana as a fulfillment with carrier and tracking details.

  4. RJW inbound shipments appear as Katana stock transfers and update as goods are received.

  5. RJW stock levels update as read-only external inventory at your mapped locations, and reconciliation adjusts Katana's in-stock to match.

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