Automatic receipt scanning with OCR and AI. Digitally capture, categorize, and transfer receipts to your accounting — error-free and in seconds.
GDPR and tax-compliant storage of receipts challenges many businesses. Paper receipts must be scanned, digitally archived, and matched to the correct business transactions. In practice, a stack of register receipts ends up on accounting's desk at the end of the month — often illegible, crumpled, or already faded.
Manually recording each receipt is not only time-consuming but also error-prone. Incorrectly entered amounts, forgotten receipts, and wrong categorizations lead to rework, tax risks, and in the worst case, problems during audits.
With increasing digitization, tax advisors and authorities expect a complete digital receipt trail. Anyone still working manually here isn't just wasting time — they're taking a compliance risk.
Our OCR workflow captures receipts from any source — smartphone photo, email attachment, scanner, or cloud upload. The AI recognizes the amount type (gross/net), VAT rate, supplier, date, and receipt category within seconds.
Every captured receipt is automatically timestamped with an immutable signature, ensuring tax compliance. Assignment to cost centers and accounts happens based on trained patterns — recurring suppliers are automatically recognized.
The system continuously learns from corrections: the more receipts processed, the more accurate the automatic categorization becomes. After a few weeks, most businesses achieve an accuracy rate of over 95%.
