Customer quotes
Don't take our word for it.
Sanka does more than inventory control. It can manage purchasing, billing, orders, and shipping in one place.
As we grew rapidly, we needed a system that could manage purchasing, inbound, inventory sync, and outbound in one place.
At first, we managed everything in Excel. Human error was a constant problem, and our inventory value did not match at fiscal close.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does Sanka copy every Slack message?
No. Sakura acts on supported requests and the context intentionally provided through the configured connection. Workspace policies determine what is retained.
Can Sakura work in channels and direct messages?
Availability depends on the Slack installation and workspace policy. Teams can scope where Sakura is installed and which actions are permitted.
Where do approvals happen?
Sakura can notify and collect the next step from Slack, while Sanka remains the authoritative approval and audit record.
