A Siemens CPU off the shelf, priced before it reaches the inventory.

We scanned a Siemens S7-300 straight from the warehouse rack. AutomaSnap read the order number 318-3EL00-0AB0 and the type CPU 319-3 PN/DP off the front panel, checked live eBay and Automa.Net offers in four conditions, and suggested €2,362. Nothing is saved until someone confirms the fields.

AutomaSnap inventory list, a photo of a Siemens SIMATIC S7-300 with the order number 318-3EL00-0AB0 outlined, and the phone review screen showing that number as the MPN, the type CPU 319-3 PN/DP, four condition price ranges and a suggested price of 2,362.21 euro

From label photo to ERP-ready rows.

Three steps, and the output is a spreadsheet your ERP will accept on the first try, with the plate photo attached to every row.

Nine steps per part. Or one photo.

The left column is what intake costs you per part today: read the plate, interpret the fields, check prices, type them in, create the SKU, shoot and rename two photos, double-check, export. The right column is the same part, scanned.

The Reseller

Reduce the time your items sit idle on the shelf.

When you buy parts in bulk, every day they aren't listed is a day you aren't making money. Typing an 18-character order number like 6ES7315-2AG10-0AB0 by hand, then re-checking it because one wrong digit means a return, is what keeps a pallet unlisted for weeks. Photograph the plate instead and the fields come back filled in, ready for you to correct. The backlog gets listed in the order you scan it.

The Warehouse Manager

Move beyond barcodes and manual entry.

Speed up your inventory work. You don't need to scan 2 or 3 different QR codes on one label just to find the right data. Our AI reads the whole nameplate at once. It automatically grabs the brand, part number, and serial number so you don't have to type them by hand. Get through your incoming stock faster and put more parts on the shelf every day.

See how much faster your warehouse can run.

The E-commerce Specialist

Get ready-made prices and product data.

Looking up specs and market prices by hand is slow, and a general-purpose chatbot will happily invent a GTIN that does not exist. AutomaSnap fills those fields from matched product records instead of generating them, and every field passes a review screen before it is saved. You get GTIN/UPC codes, price references from live eBay and Automa.Net listings, and product descriptions you can paste into a listing.

FAQ

The questions teams ask before rolling this into intake.

What do I need to start using AutomaSnap?

All you need is a standard smartphone with a camera. There's no need to install or configure anything – the app works directly in your web browser. Just open the link and you can start scanning parts immediately.

How quickly can I get started?

Just sign up and you can start using the app right away. You can also run a quick pilot: scan 20 real parts, export the spreadsheet, and compare the time and error rate against your current process.

What if the label is dirty, scratched, or at an angle?

You can take another shot and quickly correct fields before saving. The flow is designed for shop-floor photos, not perfect scans.

Do I need to change my tools or rebuild my process?

No. The fastest path is export → ERP. Map columns once and keep your existing workflow.

What do we get at the end?

A clean item list (spreadsheet) with consistent fields and a photo of the plate on every item, ready to import into ERP and audit later.
