AI Inventory for Distributors. Stock by part number, answered before the trucks leave.

AI Inventory keeps your catalog in your counter's words: part number, manufacturer number, case pack, unit of measure and the list price as written on the record. Contractors calling at dawn, chatting from the website or e-mailing a list hear what is available, how it ships and whether will-call is an option, and a written quote goes to AI Quoting.

How Distributors use it

1

A plumber calls at 6 AM for a three-quarter-inch ball valve by part number; the AI reads availability and offers will-call or your own truck.

2

Your branch also rents pipe threaders and drain machines; the AI reads the day rate from that department, with the deposit on its own line.

3

A new line card arrives as a CSV; the dry run shows four hundred new items and sixty price changes before anything is written.

REAL AI - the whole Front Office is AI, not old software with an AI button.

What’s included

  • Your own articles of any kind: cars, bottles, homes, machines, rooms, lots, services; a profile for your business relabels the fields in your words
  • Standard fields grouped by identity, price, availability, rental, shipping, measures and content, in your words, plus up to thirty of your own; statuses draft, available, reserved, sold, on order, retired, hidden
  • Pictures read by the AI as they land; the article filed by voice: you describe it, Lisa fills the card and reads it back
  • The phone, the chat and the widget answer what is in stock, the price and the details, and hold an article for the hours you allow
  • A public page per article the AI can text or mail; a CSV import with a dry run; 5 GB of pictures and documents included

Questions & answers

AI Inventory for Distributors: questions & answers

Can an AI check stock by part number for contractors?

Yes. The AI searches your catalog by part number or description on the phone, the chat and e-mail, across every department at once. It tells availability the way you choose, available only, a low number or the count, and reads the price as written on the record rather than working one out.

Who on our team can send prices from the inventory?

You decide. Each team is set to quote or only to read, so the warehouse can check availability without pricing a job. A request for a written price goes to AI Quoting, where the account's tier and your approval rules apply.

Can the AI tell a buyer how an order ships?

Yes, from the delivery methods you set: will-call pickup at the counter, carriers, freight or your own trucks. The AI offers only those methods, and a question about a special dock time goes to a person at the branch.

Can we import our item master without breaking anything?

Yes. A spreadsheet or CSV import starts with a dry run listing every item that would be added or changed, and nothing is written before you see it. Exports use your own labels, such as part number and unit of measure.
