The Problem with Adding Items One by One
Let's face it — the biggest barrier to using a home inventory app is the setup. Nobody wants to sit down and manually add 50 items to their fridge after a grocery trip. That's why we built receipt scanning.
How Receipt Scanning Works
Step 1: Snap a Photo
After your grocery trip, just take a photo of your receipt. You can use your phone's camera or upload an existing photo.
Step 2: AI Does the Work
Our AI reads every line item on the receipt, identifies the products, cleans up abbreviated names (turning "ORG WHL MLK 1GL" into "Organic Whole Milk"), and matches each item to the right category in your inventory.
Step 3: Review and Confirm
Before anything is added, you see a clean list of all detected items with their quantities and categories. You can:
- Toggle items on or off
- Change categories if needed
- Adjust quantities
- Edit item names
Step 4: One Tap to Add
Hit "Add to Inventory" and every item is saved — sorted into the right section of your home, with quantities tracked.
What Makes Our Receipt Scanning Different
AI-Powered Categorization
Other apps might read your receipt, but they dump everything into one list. Our Stash actually understands what each item is and sorts it:
- Milk → Kitchen → Fridge
- Frozen pizza → Kitchen → Freezer
- Dish soap → Cleaning → Sprays & Solutions
- Shampoo → Bathroom → Personal Care
Works with Any Receipt
Grocery stores, Costco, Target, Walmart, Trader Joe's — our AI handles them all. Different formats, different abbreviations, different layouts. It just works.
Real Numbers
Before Receipt Scanning
Adding 30 items manually: ~15 minutes
With Receipt Scanning
Adding 30 items from a receipt: ~30 seconds
That's a 30x improvement. And it means you're more likely to actually keep your inventory up to date.
