How it works

Raise the order. We read what the supplier sends. Your stock updates and you pay for what arrived.

Document Intake reads what the supplier sends. Core ERP holds the order, the stock and the job. Take both and the whole loop runs in one place.

What you get

You get clean line items, correct stock counts and your typing hours back.

AI reads the supplier paperwork and books the stock. You only check what it flags.

Clean, matched data from supplier paperwork

Line items matched to your stock codes

No duplicates to tidy up later

Every quote, invoice and delivery note lands as clean line items, matched to the suppliers and stock you already have. Anything new waits for you to approve it.

Matched records No duplicates One-tap confirm
Stock counted in the units you use

Stock counts in your units

Boxes in, units on the shelf

Suppliers ship in boxes. You count in units. We convert on arrival and handle partial deliveries, so stock reads the way it sits on the shelf.

Boxes to units Partial receipts Counts that hold
Checking the numbers across the operation

We check every document against the order

Short deliveries and price changes caught before you pay

We check the delivery note against the order and the invoice against both. A price that moved, a quantity that is short, a line you did not order. You see it before you pay.

Photograph it and it books itself

Capturing eats the day. Photograph the paperwork and it books itself. The admin that took an afternoon happens while you get on with the work.

No retyping No double capture Less chasing

Who it's for

Stock control software for South African manufacturers, workshops and merchants.

Businesses that buy stock in, make or move it, and sell it out. Too big for spreadsheets, too small for a big ERP.

Manufacturers

Production that only runs when parts land on time and the counts can be trusted. PCB, furniture, plastics, signage, refrigeration.

Fabricators and engineering workshops

Steel and metal shops turning a supplier quote into a job card without retyping, with the parts bill tied back to the quote.

Wholesalers and distributors

Stock in by the pallet, out by the piece. High volumes matched to suppliers and booked without hand-keying.

Trade counters and merchants

Builders' merchants, tile shops and trade suppliers whose counter and contract sales depend on a live on-hand number.

ROI calculator

What supplier paperwork costs you now.

Move the sliders to match your business. We do the sum.

Delivery notes, supplier invoices and quotes coming through the door.
Checking it against the order, chasing what’s short, filing it, typing it in.
A month, to the business. Not their take-home pay.
Share of your monthly supplier spend billed above the quote, or on lines that had to be re-captured. Intake flags a moved price before the invoice is approved.
Share of your monthly supplier spend that arrives short, swapped or billed wrong. Intake checks every delivery against the order at the door.
Roughly what you pay suppliers a month, ex VAT. Set it from your last few months of invoices. The leakage figure is a share of this.

FAQ

Common questions about Light Industrial.

PDFs, emailed invoices, scanned pages, and photos taken on a phone in the yard. Crumpled, skew or shot in bad light, it still reads. If a supplier can send it, we read it.
We read it. Printed line items come straight through. Handwritten quantities and corrections on the page are read too. Anything the system is not certain of is flagged for a one-tap confirm, and we never guess a quantity or a price. Every confirm teaches the system that supplier's layout, so the next document from them needs fewer checks.
Yes. We integrate with QuickBooks, Xero and Sage. Document Intake is sold on its own and plugs into the system you already run, so nothing gets replaced. Core ERP keeps your books in step with stock, quotes and delivery notes.
No. Every line is matched to your existing suppliers, stock codes and units, even when the supplier calls the item something different or sells it in a different pack size. Anything new is proposed for you to approve once, then remembered.
You are live from day one. Sign up, forward your first supplier document and Document Intake reads it. Core ERP is ready to quote on day one. If you want us to move your data across from your current system, or to consult on how you work, we quote that separately after a short call.
