AI Stock Take: Count inventory with a phone camera, not overtime

2 Sep 2026 4 min read
AI Stock Take

Everyone knows the cost of a traditional stock take: shutdowns, overtime, printed count sheets, and days of keying results afterwards. Worse, many companies count only once or twice a year, so stock discrepancies go unnoticed for months.

How AI stock take works

  • Warehouse staff photograph a shelf or storage location with a phone
  • AI image recognition identifies items and quantities, mapped to your SKU numbers
  • The system instantly compares counted vs. system stock and flags variances
  • Results post straight into Business Central / NAV — no re-keying

The practical difference

Counting shifts from a big annual event to everyday work: cycle-count by shelf or zone whenever you like and catch discrepancies early. New staff need no training — the procedure is literally taking photos. Manufacturers use it for raw materials, wholesalers for finished goods, retailers for replenishment counts.

When counting is just a photo, companies count more often — and inventory data becomes trustworthy.
