Pharmacy automation · Project

Katana MRP for a pharmacy automation manufacturer

Chronomed builds medication distribution technology for pharmacies. LevelOps implemented Katana MRP.

The need

Production control for regulated equipment

Chronomed specialises in pharmacy automation, building the technology that secures medication filling and distribution. Their own stated aim is to reduce the mental load of resource management and production control, which is precisely the problem an MRP is supposed to take off the floor.

The project

Katana MRP implementation

LevelOps implemented Katana MRP for Chronomed, closing in May 2025.

Questions about the Chronomed engagement

What does this page cover?

What Chronomed needed, the scope of the engagement and the systems implemented, which were Katana MRP. It is an implementation record rather than a measured case study.

Why are there no numbers on the outcome?

Because we did not measure them. Publishing a gain we never instrumented would be inventing one, so the page records what was done and stops there.

Could you do the same for us?

Likely, if you are on comparable systems. Describe your situation through the contact page and say what you already run, and we will tell you whether Katana MRP is the right starting point.

How does this relate to the Shopify app?

Implementation work puts the management system in place. PDF to Order handles the step before it, getting orders that arrive as documents into the system. Some clients have both, many have only one.

Can we speak to Chronomed?

Ask through the contact page. We check with the client before passing on any contact, so it depends on what they agree to.

Planning the same kind of project?

Tell us what you run today and what is breaking. We will tell you whether the system you are considering is the right one, before anyone signs anything.
