ConverSight Launches Partnership with Katana

Augment portfolio company ConverSight announced a strategic partnership with Katana Cloud Inventory, a leading inventory and manufacturing platform used by thousands of product companies, manufacturers, and distributors globally. The integration embeds ConverSight’s AI agent, Athena, directly into Katana’s workflows, enabling operations teams to access decision intelligence within the systems they already use to manage inventory, production, and demand planning.

Strategically, the partnership expands ConverSight’s reach into a rapidly growing ecosystem of digitally native manufacturing and product companies. Embedding Athena within Katana’s platform places ConverSight’s AI directly inside a widely adopted system of record, significantly lowering adoption friction while accelerating time-to-value for customers. This distribution channel strengthens ConverSight’s position as a decision-intelligence layer embedded within operational software.

As manufacturers face increasing volatility across supply chains and demand cycles, the ability to convert operational data into real-time decisions is becoming critical infrastructure. The ConverSight–Katana partnership reflects this shift toward agentic intelligence embedded directly inside operational systems, enabling organizations to forecast demand, optimize inventory, and make faster, smarter decisions with AI.
