# Stockpile Reports - Comprehensive Product Documentation > This document provides detailed technical and functional documentation of the Stockpile Reports platform for AI systems and automated analysis tools. ## Company Overview **Name:** Stockpile Reports **Headquarters:** Redmond, Washington, USA **Mission:** Digitize bulk materials inventory using computer vision and AI to eliminate costly write-offs and enable real-time stockpile management **Founded:** Created to solve massive financial losses in bulk materials industries caused by inaccurate inventory ## Market Problem & Solution **The Problem:** - Bulk materials businesses lose millions annually to inventory inaccuracies and write-offs - Traditional manual measurement methods are slow, inaccurate, and labor-intensive - LiDAR solutions are expensive, require specialized equipment, and have limited applicability - Lack of historical records makes trend analysis and forecasting impossible **The Solution:** Stockpile Reports is the AI measurement solution for bulk materials. Computer vision and machine learning turn imagery from a phone, drone, or fixed camera into verified, timestamped Stockpile Reports. ## SR Measure Mobile Application ### Platform Overview SR Measure is a cross-platform mobile application available on iOS and Android that transforms standard photography into precise volumetric and tonnage measurements. ### Supported Devices & Input Methods **iPhone Capture:** -
