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.

Data integration icon

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.

Customer experience icon

Answer customer and team questions with live data from your store

When a question comes in — about a product, an order status, a policy — MESA pulls the relevant Shopify data and passes it to Perplexity to generate a clear, accurate answer. Your team and your customers get responses grounded in what's actually in your store right now.

Research competitors and market trends without leaving your workflow

When a Shopify product, collection, or pricing decision is flagged for review, MESA triggers a Perplexity search and delivers the findings to your team through Slack, Google Docs, or Airtable. Your decisions are informed by current market context without manual research interrupting the workday.

Enrich order and customer records with real-world context

When a new B2B customer or wholesale account places their first Shopify order, MESA passes their details to Perplexity to research the company and appends the findings to their record. Your team knows who they're dealing with before the first follow-up.
