What the AI Scanner actually does
Photograph a shelf and the AI Scanner (Beta) suggests which of your products it can see. It is an assistant, not an auditor: every suggestion is queued for your review and nothing reaches the stocktake until you approve it. Results vary with lighting, shelf layout and how complete your product library is, and a full stocktake can be completed without ever using it.
Where the time actually goes
The saving is not magic recognition — it is the removal of the write-up stage. Known product costs support count valuation as entries are made. Variance and recipe margin reports also need complete receipts, reviewed sales, compatible recipe measures and comparable periods.
Smart Sheet Capture for teams who like paper
Print a StockLens count sheet with numbered product rows for your team. Photograph the completed sheet and StockLens reads them into the stocktake for you to check line by line.
ProofTrail audit history
ProofTrail records who counted what, when it was approved, and which photo or sheet each line came from — so a variance question weeks later has an answer.
