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.
