Short answer

How do I reconcile inventory stock levels with my AI?

Your AI pulls recent inventory changes and product data from ShipHero to find discrepancies. Once you confirm your physical counts, the AI pushes the corrected numbers back to your system. You'll get a clear view of where your digital records and physical stock don't match.

Where the data goes.

The outcomes of an audit.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of data comparison and updates.

AUDIT

Discrepancy reports

The AI identifies mismatches between ShipHero records and your physical counts. You get a list of SKUs that need attention.

SYNC

Updated stock counts

After you approve the changes, the AI updates ShipHero. Your digital inventory now matches your warehouse reality.

REVIEW

Human verification

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI automatically change my stock without asking?

    No. The AI identifies the discrepancies and proposes the changes, but you must authorize the final update.

  • 02

    Will this delete any of my product records?

    No. The AI only uses tools to list changes, get product info, or add inventory. It cannot delete products or history.

  • 03

    Can I use this to fix shipping errors?

    No. This specific workflow is for reconciling stock levels, not for managing outbound shipments or orders.

  • 04

    Does the AI see my full warehouse layout?

    No. The AI only sees the inventory data provided by the ShipHero tools.

  • 05

    How does the AI know my physical count is correct?

    It doesn't. You provide the physical count to the AI, and it uses that number to calculate the necessary adjustment in ShipHero.
