Frequently asked questions

Ceven monitors your BoxHero alert thresholds in real time. When a stock level drops below the defined limit, the agent triggers a pre defined workflow. This can include searching for the original supplier, checking current market pricing, and drafting a restocking email for your approval. You can set different actions based on the product category, such as urgent shipping for high priority items and standard shipping for consumables. The agent ensures you never hit zero stock by acting on the alert the moment BoxHero registers the change.
Yes. Ceven can read and write data across all locations configured in your BoxHero account. You can build workflows that automatically suggest stock transfers between locations when one warehouse is overstocked and another is low. The agent can track the movement of goods from the moment they leave the first location until they are recorded as stock in at the destination. This provides a bird eye view of your entire supply chain without requiring manual tallying across different app screens.
Ceven interacts with the BoxHero API to process the data generated by the BoxHero mobile scanner. When a team member scans a barcode using the BoxHero app to record a stock out, that event is pushed to Ceven. The agent then takes the necessary downstream actions, such as updating a customer order status in your CRM or triggering a shipping label print. While Ceven does not operate the camera hardware itself, it automates everything that happens after the scan occurs in the app.
BoxHero enforces specific rate limits on their API to ensure platform stability. Depending on your plan, there is a cap on the number of requests per minute. If a Ceven workflow attempts to perform a massive bulk update of thousands of SKUs, you may encounter a rate limit error. To handle this, Ceven implements an automatic retry logic with exponential backoff. For extremely large catalogs, we recommend scheduling bulk syncs during off peak hours to avoid hitting these ceilings and ensuring smooth data flow.
Yes. You can upload a CSV to Ceven or point the agent to a Google Sheet. The agent parses the file, maps the columns to BoxHero fields like SKU and product name, and creates the records one by one. If the agent encounters a SKU that already exists, it can be configured to either skip the item or update the existing record with the new information from the file. This removes the need for manual data entry during new product launches.
Ceven can run a scheduled audit by comparing BoxHero stock levels against another source of truth, such as your sales platform or a physical count sheet. If the numbers do not match, the agent flags the SKU and creates a task for a warehouse manager to perform a cycle count. Once the manager confirms the physical count, the agent can automatically update BoxHero to reflect the correct number and log the reason for the adjustment for future reporting.
Ceven uses secure API authentication to connect to your BoxHero account. We use encrypted tokens to ensure that your inventory data is never exposed to unauthorized parties. Access is scoped only to the permissions required for the agent to perform its tasks. You can revoke the integration at any time from your BoxHero settings, which immediately cuts off the API access. All data processed during a workflow is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry standard protocols.
Yes. Ceven can pull raw stock levels, movement history, and product categories from BoxHero to build custom reports. For example, you can ask the agent to find the fastest moving SKUs over the last thirty days or identify dead stock that has not moved in six months. The agent aggregates this data and can output it as a summary in Slack, a formatted table in an email, or a new tab in a spreadsheet for your executive team.
