# Nord Inventory Integration

Nord Inventory is the recommended inventory for the Nord Crafting ecosystem because it is the target of the new **automatic installation workflow**.

## Recommended startup

```cfg
ensure nord_inventory
ensure nord_crafting
```

## Automatic installation

Use the Nord Inventory auto-installer for Crafting's required inventory setup. This is the only inventory integration for which the documentation should promise automatic installation.

## Other inventories

Crafting includes inventory bridge logic for OX/QS/QB/ESX workflows, but those integrations require manual item/image setup.

## Support wording

A useful rule for customer support is:

> Nord Inventory: automatic installation supported. Third-party inventory: runtime bridge supported where listed, item installation is manual.
