Fulfil Complex KBB Orders with Ease using Anthill, Katana and Winner Flex

For retailers and manufacturers in the KBB (kitchens, bedrooms, and bathrooms) sector, turning a customer-specific design into a structured, costed, and fulfilled order is often a complex and manual process. Managing product customization, multi-supplier sourcing, and order accuracy introduces friction that can slow operations, increase costs, and impact customer satisfaction.

Challenge

Designers using Winner Flex create precise, tailored layouts for customers, complete with:

• Item-level customization such as hinge side and unit color
• Custom unit dimensions (e.g., altered width and depth)
• Supplier-specific items, customer-facing pricing, and internal cost data
• Additional charges like shipping and installation
• The ability to create entirely custom units as needed

However, while the design in Winner Flex presents a clean, customer-friendly view, behind each visualized item may be multiple components and sourcing decisions. Traditionally, translating these designs into actionable purchase orders, production steps, and warehouse actions has required manual intervention—introducing delays and errors.

Solution

Anthill’s intelligent workflow and ordering system is purpose-built to handle this complexity. For many businesses, Anthill’s inbuilt ordering tools are powerful enough to manage purchasing, supplier coordination, and component tracking directly—providing an efficient, all-in-one solution.

But when businesses scale, adding warehouses, increasing production volume, or managing more complex inventory networks, a dedicated Warehouse Management System (WMS) like Katana becomes a valuable next step.

That’s why Anthill built the industry-leading Katana integration for Winner Flex users. This integration allows teams to:

✅ Turn a design into an order – automatically
No more retyping or manual breakdowns. Anthill reads your Winner Flex output and does the heavy lifting.

✅ Break down complex items into real-world components
Winner might show a single unit, but behind the scenes, Anthill ensures Katana gets the full list of components needed to make it happen.

✅ Set up your Katana inventory in just a few hours
Use the catalogs you’ve already built in Winner Flex to speed up your Katana setup—without starting from scratch.

✅ Apply the right pricing and suppliers – automatically
Anthill carries through your customer prices, supplier costs, discounts, and shipping data, so everything’s accurate from day one.

✅ Handle custom units without extra effort
Unique sizes? Unusual combinations? Anthill handles it all without slowing you down.

✅ Keep your orders clean and structured
Whether you want to match the structure from Winner Flex or follow a new streamlined approach, Anthill lets you organize your Katana orders your way.

Built for Teams at Every Stage

Not every business needs a full warehouse system from day one. That’s why Anthill includes powerful inbuilt ordering tools, perfect for small to medium-sized teams managing supplier orders and fulfilment.

But when your business scales with more stock, more orders, more complexity, Katana integrates effortlessly with Anthill. You get the best of both worlds: intelligent automation with industrial-strength inventory management.
