Why automate Approval to Katana?
Approval to Katana automations get more done in less time. Automate the everyday tasks holding back your potential growth.
Enhanced Decision Control
By integrating Approvals, you can insert critical checkpoints within automated workflows. This ensures that sensitive or significant decisions, such as discounts over a certain percentage or large bulk orders, are reviewed by a human, maintaining a balance between automation and human judgment.
Risk Mitigation
Approvals add an essential layer of security and oversight, reducing the risk of errors or unauthorized actions. For instance, approving or denying a refund request based on specific criteria ensures that refunds are handled appropriately, minimizing potential losses or fraudulent activities.
Custom Workflow Management
The flexibility to add approval steps within various parts of the workflow allows for customization that aligns with the business's unique processes and policies. Whether it's quality control, finance, or customer service, Approvals can be tailored to different departments.
Keep Katana production orders in sync with Shopify sales
When an order is placed in Shopify, MESA creates or updates the corresponding production order in Katana. Your manufacturing queue stays current with demand without anyone manually bridging the two systems.
Update Shopify inventory when Katana production is complete
When a production run finishes in Katana, MESA updates the available stock in Shopify. Your storefront reflects what's actually ready to sell without a manual sync step between your factory floor and your store.
Log production and materials data where your ops team works
When Katana records a production event — a run started, a material consumed, a batch completed — MESA writes the details to Airtable, Google Sheets, or ClickUp. Your operations team has a running view without leaving their tools.
