Custom Products & CAD Files

Instant quoting is ready on every new store — switch it on when your rates are in

Accept custom orders with file uploads, specifications, and quote requests. Whether you're a CNC shop, 3D printing service, or custom fabricator — Kaniva handles the complexity of made-to-order products.

CAD & File Uploads

Accept DXF, DWG, STEP, STL, and other file formats at checkout. Customers upload their designs directly with their order.

Custom Specification Fields

Collect dimensions, materials, finishes, quantities, and any other specs you need. Configurable per product.

Custom Terms Acceptance

Require customers to accept custom terms at checkout — no refunds on custom work, design approval process, etc.

Build Stage Tracking

Track orders through production stages. Customers can see progress: Design Review → In Production → Quality Check → Ready.

Point of Sale

Included on every plan.

Sell at the counter, at shows and at events from the same catalogue and the same stock as your online store. Open the register in a browser on a laptop or tablet and start ringing up sales.

Register Screen

A full-screen register with your products in a grid, category tabs, search, a variant picker and a numpad. Runs in the browser on a laptop or tablet.

Barcode Scanning

Plug in any USB barcode scanner and scan a part number or variant SKU straight into the sale.

Take Payment

Cash with change due, tap or chip on a Stripe card reader, cards typed in, or a Venmo QR code. Split one sale across cash, card and Venmo, and let customers add a tip on the reader.

One Stock Count

Every sale becomes a regular order that takes stock and shows up in your reports, just like an online sale. Add the buyer's email and it lands on their customer record.

Drawer & Shifts

Open the register with a float, record cash in and out with a reason, and count the drawer at close. The session report shows over or short and a breakdown by payment type.

Discounts, Tax & Receipts

Line or whole-cart discounts with a cap you set, tax from your own tax rates, and the customer's choice of receipt: email, printed with your logo, or none. A Wi-Fi receipt printer prints with no dialog and opens the cash drawer.

Voids & Refunds

Void a sale the same day, or refund some lines or an amount later. Money goes back the way it came: to the card, by Venmo, or from the drawer. Staff refunds need an owner's approval PIN.

CRM & Customer Management

Included on every plan.

Go beyond basic customer lists. Manage contacts, companies, deals, and support tickets all in one place. Build relationships and close deals without leaving your store admin.

Contacts & Companies

Manage individual contacts and company records. Link contacts to companies, track communication history, and keep everything organized.

Deal Pipeline

Track sales opportunities through customizable pipeline stages. Assign values, set close dates, and forecast revenue at a glance.

Support Tickets

Handle customer inquiries with a built-in ticketing system. Assign tickets, track status, and use canned responses for fast replies.

Customer Groups

Create B2B pricing tiers and customer segments. Control product visibility and pricing by group for wholesale, VIP, and dealer programs.

Advanced Inventory

Shop layout, walk-order picking, purchase orders and Kanban

Go beyond basic stock counts. Draw your shop, label every shelf, and pick orders in walking order, with Kanban cards, purchase orders, supplier management and real-time alerts alongside.

Shop Layout

Draw each floor and its racks, even an upstairs or an odd-shaped building, and say how many shelves each bay has. Kaniva numbers every shelf in the order you walk the shop and prints the labels in that order.

Pick in Walking Order

Pick lists for one order or a whole batch, sorted by the walk through your shop and ending at packing. On a phone, scan the bin then the part, one stop at a time. Tote cards keep each order separate.

Scan Everything

Scan a shelf, then the bins and carts on it; scan a bin, then the parts going in. Any label in the shop (bin, PO, Kanban card, order, box or a maker's UPC) opens its page from one scan box.

Labels on Any Printer

Product, bin and shelf labels on a thermal printer, through PrintNode, or from your phone to a Bluetooth label maker.

Shared Layouts

Two of your stores in one building can share one layout and one set of shelf labels, while stock and orders stay each store's own.

Kanban Cards

Print physical cards with QR codes. When stock runs low, pull the card and scan to reorder instantly. Lean manufacturing made simple.

Purchase Orders

Create, send, and track POs. Email suppliers directly. Receive partial shipments. Dropship lines go to the supplier automatically when an order is paid. Full audit trail of all purchasing activity.

Supplier Management

Manage vendors with contacts, payment terms, and item-specific pricing. Track supplier SKUs and lead times for accurate ordering.

Multi-Location

Track inventory across warehouses, shelves, bins, and zones. Hierarchical locations with barcode support for pick accuracy.

Stock Alerts

Get notified when items hit reorder points. Email alerts for low stock, out of stock, and overstock conditions. Never miss a reorder.

Internal Transfers

Move inventory between locations with full tracking. Request, approve, and complete transfers with audit trail.

Receiving

Receive goods against POs with quantity verification. Partial receiving supported. Stock updates automatically on receipt.

Complete Audit Trail

Every stock change is logged. Adjustments, transfers, receipts, orders — full traceability for compliance and troubleshooting.

Manufacturing

Included on every plan. Advanced Inventory, which it builds on, is included on every plan.

Track production from raw materials to finished goods. Define BOMs, follow SOPs, manage work orders, and automatically consume components when production completes.

Bill of Materials (BOM)

Define recipes for your products. List components with quantities, track versions, duplicate for variations. Auto-calculate component needs for production runs.

Standard Operating Procedures

Document production steps with photos and instructions. Workers follow step-by-step guides, check off completion. Consistent quality every time.

Work Orders

Create from BOM or manually. Track status from draft to complete. Priority levels, due dates, assignments. Component availability checking before start.

Automatic Stock Updates

When you complete a work order, components are consumed and finished goods are added automatically. Full stock movement audit trail.

Batch/Job Tracking

Split work orders into jobs for shift tracking. Track good vs. scrap quantities per batch. Optional but powerful for quality control.

Progress Tracking

Workers check off SOP steps as they complete them. See who did what, when. Progress percentage updates in real-time.

Live Floor Board

Every active work order on one wall screen, grouped by machine: running, paused, down, or waiting on parts, with who's on it, time spent, and good and scrap counts. Refreshes every 10 seconds.

Floor Kiosk

Operators sign in on a shop tablet with a PIN or badge, pick jobs from their machine's queue, start, pause and finish with a live timer, log scrap with a reason, and report downtime.
