Connect Litium and katana

Connecting Litium and Katana for a company using both could allow the transfer of product, inventory, and order data between the systems. This could support unified management of e-commerce and manufacturing operations, reduce manual data entry, and improve the accuracy of business information across both platforms.

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

Why connect Litium and katana?

A company operating both Litium and Katana could benefit from connecting these systems to enable smoother data flow between e-commerce, inventory, and manufacturing operations. Without such a connection, staff may need to enter the same information in both systems, which increases the risk of errors and consumes valuable time. Disconnected systems can lead to records diverging over time, so that product, inventory, or sales data in one system no longer matches the other. This can result in business decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete information, which could impact customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. If a connection were established, it could allow for the exchange of data such as product details, stock levels, order information, and customer records. For example, sales orders created in Litium could be sent automatically to Katana for production or fulfillment, and inventory updates from Katana could flow back to Litium to keep online stock figures accurate. The specific data that can be exchanged would depend on the capabilities and data structures each system makes available through its API, and would need to be determined for each individual case.

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 Litium 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.
