# Smart stock import

Move off spreadsheets without retyping.

## How does Smart stock import work?

The Inventorious import wizard reads a CSV or Excel file, maps its columns to product fields automatically and shows problems before anything is saved. Once you confirm, the products and opening stock are created, and the import can be undone if something looks wrong. It replaces retyping a stock sheet by hand.

- **Best for**: Teams moving from spreadsheets or another system

## Key capabilities

- Upload CSV or Excel files with one product per row.
- Columns are matched to product fields automatically.
- Problems are listed before anything is saved.
- An import can be undone.

1. Prepare your stock sheet with one product per row.
2. Upload it, then review the column mapping and the list of problems.
3. Confirm the import and check the stock history.

## Quick answers

**Who is Inventorious for?**

It suits retail shops, wholesalers, cafes, pharmacies and electronics stores, from one counter to several branches. It is built around physical stock, so firms that only sell services will find much of it unnecessary.

**Which modules are included?**

Seven areas: point of sale, inventory and barcodes, sales, purchases and returns, reports, HRM and payroll, online store, and multi-warehouse with roles. Some modules, such as the online store and report downloads, depend on the plan you choose.

**Which languages are supported?**

The interface is available in English, Spanish and Arabic, and Arabic uses a full right-to-left layout. Administrators can edit translations and add more languages from the settings.
