Expense management automation: every receipt turned into a draft entry

Expense management automation here is an AI employee that reads photos and PDFs of receipts and turns each one into a draft expense entry with the image attached, sorted by person and month. It is offered and built to order, and a person approves every entry.

Offered, built to order: not yet running for a client.

The work it takes off you

Expense management automation takes off the collecting, reading and typing of receipts that nobody likes doing.

Receipts arrive as photos taken on a phone, as PDFs from online purchases and as paper that someone scans at the end of the month. By hand, someone chases them, reads each one, types the date, the seller and the amount, works out whose expense it is and attaches the image.

That is where the errors come in: a receipt entered twice, one lost before it was entered, an amount typed wrong, a claim that waits because the image cannot be found.

How the workflow runs: receipt scanning in steps

Receipt scanning is only the start: the robot reads, prepares and sorts, and a person approves.

  1. Ingest: staff forward receipts to a mailbox or drop them in a folder.
  2. Normalise: the robot reads each photo or PDF, using text recognition for images, and turns it into a clean record.
  3. Decide: anything it cannot read exactly, such as a blurred photo or an unusual receipt, goes to a person instead of being guessed.
  4. Generate: it prepares a draft expense entry with the image attached, sorted by person and month.
  5. Sign-off: a person approves each entry. Paying anyone back stays with you.

What you get

You get receipts read, entered in draft and sorted, waiting for approval.

Who it fits

It fits any business where people spend money on its behalf and hand in receipts afterwards.

The rules it runs under

This robot prepares entries; it never approves them and never pays anyone back.

It does not decide whether an expense is allowed under your policy, it does not post an entry as final and it never moves money. Approval and reimbursement stay with a person.

Your data and control

Your data stays in your own accounts, and nothing runs without your yes.

It works with Gmail and Google Workspace mailboxes, Google Drive, Google Sheets and Xero. Nothing is switched on without your yes, every action is written to an audit record, anything the robot cannot do exactly goes to a person instead of being guessed, and a kill switch stops it in one command.

The AI employee is ours: it is rented monthly and runs on our servers against your own accounts, and the receipts, the images and the entries stay yours. If the rental stops, the workflow stops and you keep everything.

Questions, answered plainly

Is this receipt management software I install?

No. There is nothing to install. The AI employee reads the mailbox and folder you already use and prepares the entries, and you see what needs you in the private client app.

Does it reimburse my staff?

No. It never moves money. It prepares the entries; approving them and paying people back stay with you.

How does it relate to the supplier bills workflow?

It uses the same engine: reading documents from a mailbox and a folder, recognising them and preparing drafts. The supplier bills workflow runs today for a client; expense receipts are offered and built to order.

How is it priced?

One monthly figure per workflow, based on the hours taken off your routine and the complexity of the work, stated in the written quote before anything is built.
