Katana: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Katana is inventory management, manufacturing and purchasing software for product businesses and multichannel sellers. It provides real-time stock visibility across locations, order management with sync to sales channels such as Shopify, Amazon and WooCommerce, production and work order tracking, purchasing and demand forecasting, warehouse management, and lot and serial traceability. An open API connects accounting, e-commerce and shipping tools. The software is offered online.

The software is published by Katana Technologies OÜ, an Estonian company. Its privacy policy states that the service is hosted in the EU and that its databases are located in the EU. The policy refers to the GDPR, describes Katana as a processor for client data and a controller for business-relationship data, and says that transfers to the United States rely on GDPR-compliant safeguards. A European organisation should therefore weigh an EU-hosted service against possible transfers to the US. Ownership is not stated on the website.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Katana

Katana is headquartered in EE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Katana scores best on data residency.

Katana is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Katana together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
