42 kinds of actions
Across stock, purchasing, sales, production and master data. Create an order, book a delivery, check stock — in words or with a photo of a document.
ERP for inventory, supply, production and sales
Inventory, supply, production and sales — with an AI assistant that turns plain language into system actions and never posts anything without confirmation.
AI assistant
An order, a delivery or a stock question — no hunting for the right button.
A draft of what it would do, not a change.
You see exactly what will happen before anything is saved.
Under the same rules and checks as manual entry.
Every step is recorded: who did what, and when.
Across stock, purchasing, sales, production and master data. Create an order, book a delivery, check stock — in words or with a photo of a document.
On-hand, reservations, expiry, margin and lot trace, answered from your own records.
A supplier bill, a customer order, a price list or a stock-count sheet becomes a draft that only needs checking.
The AI cannot write anything on its own. A confirmed action goes through the same checks as manual entry, lands in the log and can be undone. AI spend is capped by a per-company budget.
Structure
For you it is one application. You take the shared core and only the modules you need, and add more later without moving to another system.
An industry pack adds ready-made settings, fields, documents and reports for an industry, without a long implementation. Packs are built on top of the modular structure and are not in the product yet.
Today ainventry is one system in which sections can be switched off; the split into separately switchable modules and packs is being completed.
In the product today
Grown from a real manufacturer's request, so the hardest parts were built first: formulas, lots and work with outside processors. Stock and lots, purchasing, formula-based production, customer orders, documents, the AI assistant, an accounting connection and a public API are in place.
Connect your other software — a website, scales, labels, reports or your own AI agents. Everything a user sees on screen goes through the public API, the same one our own interface runs on. An access key never gets more rights than the employee who issued it. Reading is in the base; writing is a $99 module.
Process control
We make the control mechanisms of a full ERP available to a company of ten people. Here is what is there, and what is not yet.
Pricing
Per month, per company, unlimited users.
from $249
Core, with lots and traceability, customer invoices, a read API and AI questions about your data. No limits on users, warehouses or orders.
$999
Whatever you switch on, the monthly bill stops here.
The only cap is the monthly AI budget, set per company.
