# AI Receiving Platform: Automate Inventory Receiving

> Eliminate manual packing slip matching. The AI Receiving Platform extracts, validates, and posts goods receipts to your ERP automatically.

The AI Receiving Platform transforms your warehouse receiving workflow by using generative AI to read packing slips, match them against purchase orders in your ERP, and automatically post goods receipts, no manual data entry required. When a discrepancy is detected, the document is routed to a human reviewer for a quick decision.

## How It Works

The platform handles the full receiving lifecycle, from document ingestion through ERP writeback, in a few automated stages.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Upload a packing slip">
    Drag and drop a PDF or image, or snap a photo on your mobile device in the warehouse. The platform accepts PDF, PNG, JPG, TIFF, and WEBP files up to 50 MB.
  </Step>

  <Step title="AI extracts the data">
    The AI agent reads the document natively, no chunking, no templates, and extracts the PO number, vendor details, and all line items, even from complex tables.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Match against your ERP">
    The platform fetches the corresponding Purchase Order from your connected ERP (Odoo, SAP, NetSuite, Dynamics 365) and compares every line against what was shipped.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Auto-approve or route for review">
    Perfect matches are automatically posted as goods receipts in your ERP. Any discrepancy (overshipment, missing items, low confidence, ...) lands in the Document Inbox for a fast human decision.
  </Step>
</Steps>
