FAQs on order management software for e-commerce
Why do small businesses, especially e-commerce businesses, need order management software?

Order management software brings plenty of valuable benefits to your e-commerce website. For example, if you’re in the manufacturing sector, you can track your current, committed, and expected stock amounts in real time, and forecast your future incomings and outgoings accurately.

By keeping track of materials and product stocks, you’ll be able to avoid stock-outs — both reducing your workload and the chance of a dissatisfied customer. 

Another valuable use case would be for those selling high quantities of products. Using stocktakes, you can automatically find and eliminate discrepancies in your stock levels, allowing you to focus on your business operations and sales strategy instead of fixing problems that occur with manual data entry.

What is the benefit of multichannel inventory management?

Having the ability to sync your sales channels for order fulfillment is a crucial step to continued growth. Software like Katana helps you to identify the risk of potential delivery delays and gives you the status updates you need to reprioritize effectively.

If you use an e-commerce platform to sell your products around the world, you can use multiple currencies, and automatically convert sales and order values into the currency you mainly work with –– reducing workload and minimizing the possibility of accounting errors. 

What is real time costing?

Ensuring accurate costing should be a priority for every online business — and as we all know, human error can happen from time to time.

With Katana, we give you the ability to make accurate pricing decisions based on your product margins. By tacking manufacturing costs based on your bill of materials (BOM) and production operations, you are able to meet customer expectations without losing profit in the process.

You can also create multilevel BOMs with subassemblies to secure an accurate costing estimate.

What is an API, and why do I need it?

An API, or Application Programming Interface, allows two applications to communicate with each other. They’re especially useful when there is no native application integration available. 

Katana has an open API, meaning you’re free to connect apps built by other developers and companies to Katana to ensure whichever software you’re currently running will work with Katana smoothly.

Connect your tools and create custom workflows to help streamline your operations and sync your inventory data with hundreds of native e-commerce platforms.

You’ll only need to worry about the API if your platform doesn’t have a native integration with Katana. If you’re on a platform like Shopify, then you’re ready to click and go! Take a look at the list of integrations.
