Katana ships QuickBooks integration controls amid a feed dominated by op-eds

mrpinventoryquickbooksmulti-channelai-positioning
◆Current state
Katana, an MRP/inventory platform, mixes one genuine release into a feed that is otherwise how-to guides and supply-chain commentary. The lone product entry adds custom fields on sales orders and finer control over its QuickBooks integration.
◆Where it's heading
Product work is concentrated on multi-channel inventory accuracy (Shopify, Amazon, wholesale) and accounting sync depth. The surrounding content signals positioning around AI-era commerce and an explicit pitch against SAP closing its ERP to third-party AI.
◆Prediction
Next moves likely continue deepening integration configurability and multi-channel sync; the SAP op-ed hints Katana wants to market itself as the AI-open alternative.
