It goes without saying that today, businesses need fast access to data insights to make informed and agile decisions. In companies experiencing rapid growth, lacking responsive data tools can be a major concern, resulting in frustration for end users.
This is a challenge faced by many players in the market – including Katana Cloud Inventory.
And, when faced with challenges like these, companies have two choices: they can either adapt to these limitations or find solutions to overcome them. Katana chose the latter, opting to tackle this data accessibility issue head-on.
To meet their users’ growing demands for a more flexible data experience, Katana decided to collaborate with Luzmo. With Luzmo’s solutions, Katana aims to offer their end-users a faster, more seamless way to explore data.
Read on to learn more how Luzmo empowers Katana’s users to take control of their data.
Since its founding in 2017, Katana has become a major player in the inventory management space, specifically serving the unique needs of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
With over $51 million in funding, Katana has demonstrated substantial growth and strong investor confidence, positioning itself as the go-to platform for SMBs.
Today, Katana is recognized for providing thousands of businesses with the real-time control and operational clarity that were previously only available to larger enterprises.
Katana’s impressive growth and market position have enabled it to scale its reach while adapting to the evolving needs of its expanding user base.
Naturally, as Katana’s user community grew, so did their demand for quicker, more flexible access to data. This expectation aligns with the success Katana has achieved – its users started requiring insights that match the pace of their own operations.
The pressure on traditional dashboards and static reporting tools grew as users began to require on-demand data to keep up with their operations. While these tools provide valuable insights, they often lack the responsiveness needed for real-time decision-making, making data access a slower, more manual process.
For users needing immediate answers – to act on market changes or operational demands – static solutions may not always provide the responsiveness they need.
As Katana’s client base continues to expand, the company saw an opportunity to empower its users even further. To meet user demands, Katana turned to Luzmo.
Luzmo supports Katana’s goal of giving users the tools they need to make independent, data-informed decisions, freeing them from the complexity of traditional dashboards.
What steps will be taken to accomplish this?
Luzmo’s AI will translate user prompts directly into visual data insights, converting questions into highly relevant charts and graphs:
a user poses a question ⮕ Katana’s custom AI agent will forward it to Luzmo ⮕ Luzmo will translate the prompt into specific data queries
The process will take into account users' access rights and localization, ensuring only relevant, secure information is displayed.
Once Luzmo generates the data queries, it will configure the resulting chart to visually represent the answer. Luzmo’s embedded UI components will enable Katana to display these insights within their platform in real time – creating an immediate, interactive experience.
Users will receive the precise data they need in a visual, easy-to-digest format for decision-making speed and accuracy.
Katana has prioritized control over the user experience, developing its own chat interface and AI agent to assess each query and determine which tool to use for the response. With Luzmo's API integration, Katana will be able to customize every aspect of the interaction!
Powered by Luzmo’s technology, Katana will be able to maintain brand consistency while delivering advanced data exploration capabilities.
“Luzmo IQ will help us to integrate an intuitive, AI-driven chat interface for our users to get actionable insights simply by asking questions. Instead of navigating dashboards and creating custom reports, they will get fast, visual responses to any data query. This will also help them to make informed business decisions and stay focused on optimizing their inventory.”
Rainar Essenson, Senior Product Manager at Katana Cloud Inventory
As Katana enhances its platform, it’s set to deepen its collaboration with Luzmo through the full integration of Luzmo IQ into its user interface. This next-level solution will offer Katana’s users a more intuitive, AI-driven experience – allowing them to ask data questions naturally and receive instant, accurate insights.
And with a full switch to Luzmo IQ on the horizon, Katana hopes to redefine data exploration in inventory management with a seamless, highly accessible experience.
