Migrating Stock Control From a Spreadsheet to a System With AI

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
