Smart Updates: AI-Powered Inventory

AI-Powered Inventory Updates

Smart Updates lets you upload a document — such as a supplier invoice, packing slip, or inventory sheet — and WareSquared's AI will automatically parse it to update your inventory.

Supported File Types

Format Examples
CSV / XLSX Spreadsheets, inventory reports
PDF / DOCX Supplier invoices, packing slips
Images Photos of inventory sheets, labels (JPG, PNG, WebP)

How It Works

  1. Navigate to Smart Updates in the main navigation
  2. Upload a file or paste text directly
  3. WareSquared's AI analyzes the content and detects the intent:
    • Restock — add quantities to existing inventory
    • Inventory Audit — set exact stock levels
  4. Review the parsed items on the Review Screen
  5. Verify product matches, quantities, and locations
  6. Click Execute to apply the changes

Review Before Executing

The review screen shows every detected item with:

  • Matched product (or suggested new product if no match found)
  • Parsed quantity
  • Detected action (add vs. set)

You can edit any field before committing. No changes are made until you confirm.

Tip: Smart Updates works great for restocking from supplier invoices. Upload the invoice PDF and let AI do the data entry for you.
