Connect lightspeed and katana

Connecting Lightspeed and Katana for a company using both systems could enable the transfer of sales, inventory, and production data between the platforms. Such integration could support more accurate stock management, streamline order fulfillment, and reduce manual data entry, helping to maintain consistency across business operations.

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

Why connect lightspeed and katana?

A company that operates both lightspeed and katana could benefit from connecting these systems to enable more efficient data exchange. Such a connection could help avoid manual data entry into both platforms, which often leads to increased administrative effort and a higher risk of input errors. Without a connection, there is a risk that records in one system could become outdated or inconsistent with those in the other, resulting in decisions being made based on incomplete or stale information. This situation can cause operational delays, inaccurate inventory levels, and discrepancies in order processing or reporting. If a connection were established, the types of data that could be exchanged between systems of this nature include product information, inventory levels, sales orders, purchase orders, and customer details. The actual scope of data that can be shared would depend on the capabilities and data structures each system supports. Ultimately, what data can be exchanged in practice depends on what each system exposes through its API and must be determined for each specific implementation.

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 lightspeed and katana 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.
