Migrating stock control means the manual entry that used to happen in a spreadsheet gets replaced by **OCR**\-assisted reading of delivery notes and invoices, with stock levels updating automatically across locations. In **Jestor**, this connects a structured stock table to native **Omie** integration.

Stock spreadsheets tend to fall out of sync with reality the moment someone forgets to update a row after a physical movement — which happens often, because manual entry is easy to deprioritize under pressure.

## What stock spreadsheets get wrong

- Manual entry of every movement, easy to forget or delay under pressure
- No connection to the ERP, requiring separate manual reconciliation
- Separate spreadsheets per location, with no consolidated view
- No automatic threshold alert when stock runs low

## How AI-assisted migration works

- Upload the existing stock spreadsheet as a starting structure
- **OCR** reads delivery notes or invoices, pre-filling movement data automatically
- Stock across multiple locations consolidates into a single connected panel
- Movements sync with **Omie**, keeping the ERP and operational view aligned

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Migration starts from the existing spreadsheet, not from zero
- OCR removes the manual entry step that causes spreadsheets to fall out of sync
- One consolidated panel replaces separate spreadsheets per location
- Native Omie integration keeps stock data aligned without manual reconciliation
