# Inventory recording

Bringing existing inventory into equip me can be done in two different ways. The right approach depends on where your inventory is currently managed and how automated your setup should be.

There are two available options:

• **Import via Excel**                                                                        • **Import via API**

The Excel based import is typically used when inventory already exists in a structured format and should be transferred into equip me as a one time or initial step.

The API based import is used when inventory is managed in another system and should be connected to equip me for ongoing synchronization or automation.

This overview is meant to help you understand the two possible directions. Each option is explained in more detail in the individual courses below.
