Create a New Order with Alpha AI-Assisted Ordering
Boltline is testing an experimental AI-assisted order import. You can upload a document or screenshot with line items and Boltline will automagically enter your order details, create parts, and plan inventory for this order.
- Uploaded documents or screenshots are processed by AI to extract relevant order information.
- We recommend not uploading sensitive, confidential, or proprietary information during the testing phase.
- By using this feature, you acknowledge and accept the potential risks associated with testing an AI-powered tool and understand that the results may not be fully accurate or reliable at this stage.
Please review the generated order details thoroughly and report any issues or discrepancies to help improve the system.
