How the workflow works

1

Define your receipt schema

Map fields like merchant name, date, tax, and total once to create a reusable template for recurring receipt formats.

2

Upload and extract

Drop PDF receipts into the platform where the AI identifies data points based on your specific bookkeeping requirements.

3

Review and export

Use the split-screen interface to verify merchant totals against the original PDF before exporting structured data to Excel.

Manual vs structured workflow

Manual process

Typing merchant names and tax totals from individual PDF files into a spreadsheet one by one.

Structured workflow

Extracting all receipt data points simultaneously using a predefined schema for consistent formatting.

Manual process

Switching between windows to verify receipt dates and values, increasing the risk of data entry errors.

Structured workflow

Reviewing extracted receipt data directly beside the original PDF in a single, unified split-screen view.

Manual process

Re-formatting messy receipt data every month to fit specific bookkeeping categories and ledger requirements.

Structured workflow

Creating reusable templates that ensure every receipt export is structured exactly for your bookkeeping software.
