Inventory management software

Technology category · O*NET

Inventory management software is a technology category in the O*NET database. Across U.S. occupations, 138 report using software or tools in this category. The named products below are the specific examples O*NET records for those jobs. The occupations that use it sit, on average, at the 51st percentile of AI task-exposure ( moderate) — how much that work overlaps with what AI can do, not a sign the tool is being replaced. See where every tool category sits.

A Hot tag marks technologies O*NET sees frequently in employer job postings; In demand marks tools an occupation specifically requires.

Example software & tools

Ranked by how many occupations list each product. Each number is an occupation count — a job is counted once per product — so the product rows overlap and do not sum to the category total.

Occupations that use Inventory management software

Showing 40 of 138 occupations.

Exposure quadrant: AI task-overlap percentile vs Median pay AI task-overlap (horizontal) versus median pay (vertical), each as a percentile across all scored occupations, for 39 occupations in occupations that use Inventory management software. Overlap measures shared tasks with AI, not automation. Lower overlap · higher pay Higher overlap · higher pay Higher overlap · lower pay Lower overlap · lower pay Cleaners of Vehicles and Equipment Coating, Painting, and Spraying Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders Fallers Cutting, Punching, and Press Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists Aircraft Service Attendants Crane and Tower Operators Aircraft Mechanics and Service Technicians Biomass Plant Technicians Anesthesiologist Assistants Bakers Costume Attendants Computer, Automated Teller, and Office Machine Repairers First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers Dietetic Technicians Aerospace Engineering and Operations Technologists and Technicians Chemists Construction Managers Counter and Rental Clerks Cargo and Freight Agents Executive Secretaries and Executive Administrative Assistants AI task-overlap percentile → ↑ Median pay

How AI is used by roles that use Inventory management software

A software category is not itself "being automated" — but we can look at the roles that report using Inventory management software and ask how those people actually use AI. This rolls the Anthropic Economic Index per-role signal up across those roles, weighted by how much observed AI activity each one has. 50.7% of the 138 roles that use this category carry observed AI-usage data (70 roles).

Across those roles, 48.1% of AI conversations are people working with AI and 37.8% hand a task to AI , with an average autonomy of 3.73 / 5.

Collaboration pattern Share What it means
directive 31.4% AI does it; you give the instruction
task iteration 27.5% you and AI go back and forth
learning 17.8% you ask AI to explain or teach
feedback loop 6.3% AI does it, then adjusts from your feedback
validation 2.8% you do it; AI checks your work

Roles behind this signal

The roles using this category that have the most AEI data. "Works with AI" is the role's share of conversations that augment rather than automate.

Advertising and Promotions Managers 61.8% 4.0/5
Computer, Automated Teller, and Office Machine Repairers 33.4% 4.0/5
Executive Secretaries and Executive Administrative Assistants 52.8% 3.0/5

Source: Anthropic Economic Index (2026-01-15-v4-plus-2025-03-27-v2) over a sample of Claude.ai Free and Pro conversations — not all AI tools and not the whole workforce. Roles list software categories in O*NET; this does not mean AI is used inside Inventory management software, only that people in those roles use AI. Some conversations are left unclassified, so shares need not sum to 100.

Industries that concentrate this

Where Inventory management software matters most across the economy. Employment reach is the share of an industry's workers in occupations that significantly use Inventory management software (O*NET importance ≥ 3 of 5, or report using the tool category). Concentration compares that reach to the national average industry, so a value above 1× means the requirement is more pervasive here than across the economy as a whole.

Nationally, about 23.5% of workers are in occupations that significantly use Inventory management software (measured across 67 industries).

Sectors with the most such workers

Retail Trade 8,960,480 57.5%
Transportation and Warehousing 4,658,110 63.0%

Wholesale Trade 2,453,440 40.6%
Accommodation and Food Services 2,260,510 15.9%

Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services 1,939,320 21.5%
Construction 1,891,180 23.3%
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services 1,379,680 12.8%
Other Services (except Public Administration) 966,050 21.8%
Real Estate and Rental and Leasing 627,560 26.5%
Management of Companies and Enterprises 539,470 19.2%

Reach is a measure of how widespread a requirement is across an industry's workforce, not how intensively any individual uses it. Sector worker counts come from BLS OEWS employment; the significance threshold and tool use come from O*NET. Industries shown by concentration are filtered to a real worker base so a tiny specialty cannot top the list on rounding.
