AI Receiving cuts hours of manual entry, reduces costly mistakes, and speeds up your entire receiving process. By instantly capturing item details like barcodes, quantities, and costs, your team can move faster, stay accurate, and focus on what really matters, serving customers and growing your business.
3 Ways to Enhance Your Retail Operations
Learn the most important aspects of inventory management and how they will impact your business and your bottom line.
Turn Vendor Invoices into Ready-to-Import Data
AI Receiving bridges the gap between manual workflows and full automation. While Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) integrations streamline ordering with supported wholesalers, AI Receiving ensures the same efficiency for vendors without existing integrations. AI Receiving is a web-based companion tool for Star-Plus that converts vendor invoices into ready-to-import receiving data. You upload a PDF or image invoice and let AI Receiving extract key details like UPCs, item numbers, quantities, and costs.
Easily upload invoices in PDF, JPG, PNG, or HEIC formats
Automatically extract product details and pricing
Review and verify data with confidence scoring
Export clean, structured files for import into Star-Plus
Whether you’re creating a purchase order or receiving items directly, AI Receiving helps you move from invoice to inventory faster.
Improve Accuracy and REduce Errors
Manual entry increases the risk of pricing errors, missed items, and inconsistent records. AI Receiving uses advanced parsing to identify and prioritize key fields from your invoices.
With configurable settings, you can:
Define preferred item fields for improved accuracy
Use advanced parsing to match vendor invoice formats
Quickly identify low-confidence data with visual indicators
Edit and verify information before importing
This ensures your inventory data is not only faster to process, but also more reliable.
