Common questions

How long does setup take?
Import an Excel or CSV file, set up storage locations, and invite your team. Setup time depends on your inventory.

Is my data secure?
We encrypt your data during transfer and storage, keep Laima application data on EU servers, and make regular backups. Using an AI feature sends the data needed for that request to external AI providers, which may process it outside the European Economic Area. Privacy Policy
Is Laima free to use?
Inventory, scanning, reports, and weekly emails are free, with unlimited users and no time limit. Ask Laima and AI spreadsheet column suggestions use shared team credits, with starter credit included. Team administrators can buy more credit. No credit card is needed to create an account.
Can I import from spreadsheets?
Yes. Import Excel or CSV files and review the column matches before importing. Optional AI column suggestions use your team’s AI credit. You can also match columns manually and export your data at any time.
What can the AI assistant do?
Ask about stock, expiry dates, and reports. Laima can prepare deliveries and supplier confirmations for review, save supplier order requests, check experiment materials, and summarize the week. It uses your inventory records for the calculations.
Can the assistant change stock or contact suppliers?
When asked, it can save supplier order requests and update their quantities or notes. These do not change stock. Review deliveries before pressing Receive and supplier confirmations before pressing Add to in transit. You contact suppliers yourself.
What data is sent to AI providers?
We do not send company records or user profile details to AI providers. When you use an AI feature, your message, relevant chat history, inventory records, and attached files are sent through OpenRouter to an AI provider. This can include processing outside the European Economic Area. Privacy Policy
