Receipt scanner for contractors
General-purpose receipt apps stop at "vendor and total." Contractors need the line items, the return, the deposit vs. final payment, and the project it belongs to. We built that.
Expensify, Veryfi, Shoebozed, SparkReceipt — good apps, built for road warriors and CFOs. None of them know what a "deposit on cabinets" means or that a $200 lumber return needs to net against a $1,200 lumber receipt on the same job. Generic categorization doesn’t replace project-aware job costing.
The scanner reads the receipt, the AI looks at your active jobs, the time, your last few purchases, and the location, then assigns it to the most likely project. Confidence below 70 %? It asks. Wrong guess? One tap to move it, and the model gets smarter.
A negative line shows up as a credit, not a separate weird transaction. A $500 cabinet deposit with a final $4,500 invoice tracks as one $5,000 cost when both receipts are filed. Margins stop lying to you.
Drywall mud on your fingers? Hold the mic, say the amount, vendor, and project. Done. No camera needed. The AI parses spoken cents, fractional yards, and the names of all your active projects.
Run a roll of supply-house receipts through in one session. Scan, swipe, scan, swipe — the queue uploads in the background while you keep working.
Beyond total + tax, we pull line items so reports break out lumber vs. fasteners vs. subcontractor billing for the same job.
A return ticket with a negative total auto-nets against the original receipt for that vendor and project — no more inflated cost reports because someone forgot to apply the credit.
Reads "PAID — VISA ****4432" or "BALANCE DUE $1,200" off the receipt and flags whether the cost is actually paid or still owed.
Couldn’t read it? The receipt lands in a "needs attention" tray with the original photo for one-tap manual entry. Nothing gets lost.
Mark a receipt as reimbursable in one tap. The owner gets a clean weekly report of crew expenses to repay — no more spreadsheets.
A single Home Depot trip covering three jobs? Split the receipt across all three with the right amount on each. Your books stay clean even when the field doesn’t.
Every scanned receipt is searchable by vendor, amount, date, project, or text on the page. The audit log shows who scanned what and when, so disputes resolve in 30 seconds.

Expensify is built for corporate expense reports and Veryfi is built for general OCR. Both are good at what they do. Neither auto-assigns receipts to construction projects, handles material returns, or knows the difference between a deposit and a final payment. Different tools for different jobs.
You tap the project name and pick the right one. The model learns from the correction so the same vendor + jobsite combination matches correctly next time.
Usually. Lumber-yard tickets and supply-house receipts handwritten in pen or sharpie process correctly in our internal tests. Hard-to-read receipts land in "needs attention" with one-tap manual entry.
Yes. Scans queue locally and upload when you’re back on service. Nothing is lost.
Email forwarded receipts and bulk PDF imports both work. Send to a dedicated inbox or upload a stack and the scanner runs on each.
Stored encrypted at rest. Only you and the team members you grant access to can view. We don’t train AI on your data.
