Puppy Cake, a small specialty pet food company was able to eliminate spreadsheets thanks to Katana cloud-based manufacturing software. Manufacturing journalist, TR Cutler profiled Puppy Cake’s use of Katana’s auto-booking system in the recent issue of Automation.com.
Kelly Costello, founder of Puppy Cake noted, “We used Excel spreadsheets attempting to keep stock of our ingredients and what was needed to accomplish different manufacturing processes. It was tedious and inaccurate. Since abandoning the inefficient spreadsheets, Puppy Cake has been able to dramatically optimize operations, inventory control, and time management.” Katana allocates available material to the most recent manufacturing orders. Puppy Cake now effortlessly knows sufficient resources are available to fulfill each and every order promptly and accurately.
The company was able to get more control of material inventory with the Katana auto-booking feature. There is now a clear overview of operations’ progress with a task list, so team members know what tasks are left to complete.
