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
