What is Talk to your stock?
Talk to your stock is the chat in StockFlow that turns sentences like “sold 3 lamps” or “what is running low?” into lookups and stock changes. It confirms every change before booking it, works in Dutch and English, and answers how-to questions from the manual. It is in beta on the paid plans and in the free 14-day trial, next to barcode scanning and the mobile app.
One chat for the questions you ask all day
Most inventory work is small: check a number, book a delivery, write off a broken item, see what sold. In most tools each of those is a page, a filter and a form. In StockFlow you type it.
The assistant remembers what you were talking about, so “take 2 out” after asking about croissants means croissants, and “and yesterday?” repeats your last question for another day. Every change lands in the stock history like any other movement.
What did I sell today?
You sold 46 units today, across 9 products. Revenue: €212.40.
Took 2 croissants out, they were damaged
I will remove 2 from “Croissant”. Stock goes from 14 to 12. Reason: Damaged or lost. Shall I go ahead?
yes
Done. Removed 2 from “Croissant”. New stock: 12.
What you can ask
A few of the sentences it understands. Product names come from your own catalog, and it matches them even with a typo or a plural.
Check stock
- “How many croissants do I have?”
- “Where is the oak chair stored?”
- “What does product CR-1 cost?”
Book stock in or out
- “Received 24 bottles of olive oil”
- “Took 2 croissants out, damaged”
- “Sold 3 lamps”
Count
- “Set coffee beans to 10”
- “There are only 4 left of the M8 bolts”
Ask about the business
- “What did I sell today?”
- “And last week?”
- “What are my best sellers this month?”
- “What is my stock worth?”
Find what needs action
- “What is running low?”
- “What is out of stock?”
- “Give me an overview”
Get help
- “How do I invite a colleague?”
- “My scanner does not work”
- “Where do I find my invoices?”
How a stock change works
- 1
You type what happened
“Took 2 croissants out, they were damaged.” The assistant reads the direction (out), the quantity (2), the product and the reason (damaged).
- 2
It fills the gaps
Missing the quantity, the reason or, for a sale, the customer and price? It asks one short question with quick picks. Every question can be skipped.
- 3
You confirm
You see the product, the quantity and the stock before and after. Nothing is booked yet. Click Confirm or type “yes”.
- 4
It is booked like any movement
The change goes through the same checks as the stock in and out forms: permissions, plan limits, and enough stock on hand. It appears in the stock history and triggers low-stock alerts.
- 5
Undo if you need to
The reply has an Undo button, and typing “undo” works too.
Built for the shop floor
Plain sentences
Type it the way you would say it. Quantities in digits or words ("twenty-five", "vijfentwintig"), units and dozens included.
Confirm before booking
Every change shows the stock before and after. Nothing is written until you confirm.
Undo in one click
Made a mistake? Undo the last change straight from the chat, or type "undo".
Asks what is missing
No quantity? No reason? It asks one short question at a time, with quick picks.
Support built in
How-to questions are answered from the manual. Unsolved ones go to our team by e-mail.
Private by design
Your inventory data is not sent to an AI model. Everything runs on StockFlow itself.
Dutch and English
Type in either language. Replies follow your interface language.
Same rules as the app
Roles, plan limits and stock checks apply exactly as in the stock in and out forms.
Help when you are stuck, a person when it matters
Ask “how do I invite a colleague?” or “my scanner does not work” and the assistant answers from the StockFlow manual, in your language, with a link to the full guide. It then asks whether that answered your question.
If the manual has no answer, or you say it did not help, the question and the conversation go to the StockFlow team by e-mail. You do not fill in a form, and we reply to your own address. You can also type “I want to talk to someone” at any time. Prefer e-mail right away? Use the contact page.
Your inventory stays yours
- Sentences are read by StockFlow itself. No third-party AI model sees your products, prices or customers.
- The assistant only sees the warehouse you are working in, with your role’s permissions.
- Questions are kept for up to 90 days so we can see what people ask and improve the assistant, then deleted automatically.
