Stone Slab Inventory System
Slab Inventory ManagementPowered by AI & LiDAR
NoriaStrata digitizes every slab with AI classification, iPhone LiDAR scanning, and real-time tracking — turning your warehouse into a live, searchable, client-facing catalog.
A stone slab inventory system records every marble, granite, and quartzite slab from warehouse receipt to sale: dimensions, grade, location, and live availability in one place. NoriaStrata adds iPhone and iPad LiDAR scanning, AI classification, and inventory tracking for stone businesses, so slab inventory management replaces spreadsheets with one searchable, client-facing catalog.
AI Classification
10+ stone types recognized automatically
3D Visualization
Clients see slabs in their own space
Real-Time Tracking
Live availability across all locations
Spectral Color Search
Find every matching slab in your yard in seconds
Matched beyond what the eye does reliably. NoriaStrata reads each slab in CIELAB color space and ranks your inventory by ΔE distance, so a near-identical match never gets missed on a busy yard.
The Challenge
The Slab Inventory Challenge
Natural stone businesses have managed inventory the same way for decades. The tools have not kept pace with what modern stone operations demand.
Manual photography is slow and inconsistent
Staff spend hours photographing slabs with inconsistent angles, lighting, and framing. No two slabs are catalogued the same way — making search and comparison unreliable.
No standardized way to catalog stone varieties
Every business uses a different naming convention for stone type, color, and grade. The result is an inventory that only one person truly understands — a critical operational risk.
Customers cannot browse inventory remotely
Clients have to visit in person or wait for manually curated PDFs. Sales cycles stretch. Out-of-territory customers are practically unreachable without a dedicated sales effort.
Inventory counts are always outdated
Between daily sales, off-cuts, and new arrivals, spreadsheet-based inventory is stale within hours. Teams spend time on the phone confirming what is actually in stock.
Platform
How NoriaStrata Transforms Slab Management
Six integrated capabilities that turn your warehouse into a searchable, sellable, client-facing asset.
AI Slab Scanner
iPhone or iPad LiDAR captures precise dimensions. AI classifies stone type, color family, and veining pattern. No wands, no scanners, no additional cost.
Digital Catalog
Every slab is photographed, measured, classified, and searchable within minutes of arrival. Your full warehouse — instantly accessible.
3D Visualization
Clients upload a photo of their kitchen, bathroom, or lobby. NoriaStrata renders any slab into that space in photorealistic 4K. They see exactly what they are buying.
Real-Time Inventory
Every status update — available, quoted, reserved, sold — propagates instantly across all users and the client portal. No phone calls to confirm stock.
Online Marketplace
Share your live catalog via a white-label client portal. Clients browse, filter by color and type, request quotes, and order — 24 hours a day, without your sales team.
Inventory Analytics
See which stone types move fastest, which sit longest, and where to focus purchasing. Data-driven inventory decisions instead of gut instinct.
Process
From Warehouse to Customer in 4 Steps
A slab arrives. Within minutes it is scanned, classified, catalogued, and live on your client portal. No manual data entry. No delays.
Scan
Open the NoriaStrata app on your iPhone or iPad. Point the device at the slab. LiDAR captures precise dimensions and high-resolution photos in approximately 2 minutes — no extra hardware needed.
Classify
AI analyzes the slab automatically: stone type, primary and secondary color family, veining density and pattern. A classification that would take a staff member several minutes is done instantly.
Catalog
The slab is added to your digital inventory with its full record — dimensions, photos, AI classification, warehouse location, and unique ID. Searchable and shareable immediately.
Sell
The slab appears live in your B2B client portal. Customers browse, request quotes, and generate AI room visualizations. When a sale is confirmed, the slab is removed from the portal in real time.
Why NoriaStrata
NoriaStrata vs SlabSmith, Moraware, or SlabWare
Other tools track slabs. NoriaStrata transforms them into a live sales channel — with AI, visualization, and a client portal included from day one.
Mobile-first with hardware you already own
NoriaStrata runs on the iPhone and iPad already in your team's pockets. No proprietary scanning wands, no calibration stations, no capital expenditure. Your LiDAR scanning hardware cost is zero.
AI-powered classification, not manual data entry
Competing tools require staff to manually type stone name, color, and grade for every slab. NoriaStrata classifies automatically, reducing cataloguing time and eliminating inconsistent naming.
Full marketplace, not just inventory tracking
SlabSmith, Moraware, and SlabWare track your inventory. NoriaStrata turns it into a sales channel. Your live catalog becomes a B2B portal your clients can browse and order from, 24/7.
One platform across the full stone supply chain
NoriaStrata covers 16 modules: quarry, extraction, slab inventory, spectral color, visualization, logistics, CRM, and more. Slab inventory connects to the rest of your operations — not a standalone tool.
How It Works
Inventory tracking for stone: slabs, blocks and tiles
Inventory tracking for stone means every physical piece — slab, block, or tile batch — exists as a live digital record: scanned dimensions, stone type and grade, yard location, and current status. When a piece is reserved, cut, or sold, the record updates in real time, so stock counts stay true without manual reconciliation and nothing gets double-sold.
1. Scan
Capture each piece with iPhone/iPad LiDAR — dimensions to ±2cm plus high-resolution photos, about 2 minutes per slab. No dedicated scanner.
2. Catalog
The AI assigns stone type, color family, and vein pattern; the piece gets a unique ID, grade, finish, and yard location in the live catalog.
3. Track
Every status change — reserved, sold, consumed, remnant — updates in real time across locations, the client portal, and reporting.
| Tracking method | Accuracy | Real-time status | Hardware cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper tags + spreadsheets | ~75% (manual variance) | No — periodic reconciliation | None |
| Dedicated slab scanner + station software | Sub-millimetre (fabrication-grade) | Partial — single workstation | €15K–€25K per station |
| NoriaStrata (iPhone/iPad LiDAR) | ±2cm (inventory-grade) | Yes — every device, every location | Zero extra hardware |
