A mobile-first way to fulfill sales and purchase orders efficiently.
The Warehouse App is a web-based application designed to streamline warehouse operations in Katana. It’s built for mobile devices and enables real-time tracking of goods, giving your warehouse team the tools to stay organized and paper-free.
Note: The Warehouse App is part of the Warehouse Management add-on, included in Professional and Professional Plus plans. Standard plan users can purchase it as an add-on.
What the Warehouse App helps you do
Warehouse teams can use the app to:
Plan and prioritize Sales Orders for pick and pack.
Track who received or packed an order.
Send live task status updates to Katana.
Go 100% paperless (no printed PO or SO lists required).
Focus only on warehouse tasks (no distractions from other Katana features).
Enabling the Warehouse App
To enable the app:
Go to Settings > Warehouse App.
Toggle on 1 or both options.
Warehouse operators
Users in the Warehouse App are called Warehouse Operators (not to be confused with Shop Floor Operators).
You can add Warehouse Operators through the main Katana site.
Each operator has a dedicated login. They can log in from any device (no simultaneous sessions).
Their access is limited to warehouse tasks only—no pricing or cost details are visible in the app.
What tasks do they see?
Warehouse Operators will only see tasks relevant to them:
Sales orders marked Ready for packing appear for picking and packing.
Purchase orders (POs) and outsourced POs (OPOs) with items to be received will appear as Receiving tasks.
Tasks are automatically assigned to the first operator who starts them—there’s no need for manual assignment.
Recommended devices
The app is browser-based, not an installable Android/iOS app.
It works best on tablets but supports any device with a camera for QR scanning.
