Connect katana and Eijsink

Connecting Katana and Eijsink for a company using both could enable the transfer of relevant data between the two systems. This could support more accurate inventory tracking, improved sales reporting, and better coordination between production and point-of-sale activities. Such a connection would require careful planning to ensure data consistency and compliance with each system’s requirements.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between katana and Eijsink around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect katana and Eijsink?

A company that operates both Katana and Eijsink could benefit from enabling these systems to exchange data, as this would support more accurate and timely business operations. When systems are not connected, staff may be required to enter the same information in multiple places, which increases the risk of errors and wastes valuable time. Over time, records in each system could drift apart, with mismatches in inventory, sales, or other business data. This can lead to decisions being made using outdated or inconsistent figures, which can harm customer service, financial planning, and overall efficiency. If a connection were established, the types of data that could be exchanged would depend on the roles of each system. For example, if Katana is used for manufacturing or inventory management and Eijsink for point-of-sale or retail operations, the integration could allow for the transfer of sales orders, product and stock levels, customer data, or transaction details between the two environments. This could help ensure that inventory counts remain accurate and that sales data is reflected in both systems without manual intervention. However, what can actually be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and is determined per situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what katana and Eijsink make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
