Katana widens its channel reach while pushing AI into demand forecasting.

◆Current state
Katana's feed mixes SEO guides with real MRP shipping. The concrete product moves cluster around multichannel commerce — a new Amazon FBM integration, bin-level inventory tracking, custom fields on sales orders — plus an AI replenishment feature that forecasts demand a year out. The marketing posts inflate cadence; the actual releases are steady and channel-focused.
◆Where it's heading
The direction is Katana positioning itself as the inventory brain across Shopify, Amazon, and wholesale, with AI forecasting layered on top of the operational core. The Amazon FBM integration and multi-bin tracking suggest a push toward brands running physical fulfillment across several channels at once.
◆Prediction
Expect more sales-channel integrations and deeper AI forecasting or replenishment automation, consistent with the multichannel-plus-AI arc visible in the releases.
