Connect katana and LinnWorks

Connecting Katana and LinnWorks for a company operating both could enable automated data transfer between manufacturing management and order fulfillment processes. This integration could support inventory synchronization, order tracking, and production planning by sharing relevant information between the two systems, reducing manual data entry and helping to maintain consistency across business operations.

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

Why connect katana and LinnWorks?

A company operating both Katana and LinnWorks could benefit from connecting the two systems to enable data exchange and reduce manual intervention. Without such a connection, staff may need to enter the same information, such as sales orders or inventory updates, into both systems. This duplication increases the risk of inconsistencies, where records in Katana and LinnWorks drift apart over time. As a result, managers might make decisions based on outdated or inaccurate data, which can affect inventory planning, order fulfillment, and customer service. Connecting Katana and LinnWorks could allow for the transfer of key operational data between the two platforms. This might include product details, inventory levels, sales orders, purchase orders, and shipping information, depending on the roles each system plays in the business. The actual data that can be exchanged depends on the specific capabilities and interfaces exposed by each system’s API, and must be determined on a case-by-case basis.

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 LinnWorks 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.
