A folder of receipt photos becomes one sheet your accounts can use

Nothing changes for whoever takes the photo.

Same phone, same folder, same habit. What changes is that the slip stops disappearing, and every receipt that disappears is a deduction you paid for and VAT you could have claimed back. This takes the whole folder and returns one sheet: date, supplier, amount, VAT, category, and a flag on anything it could not read properly.

Run it yourself

Drop a folder in, watch the sheet fill

Receipts to a sheetExample demo, sample data

Drop receipt photos or PDFs here

Nothing is uploaded and no file is opened. Whatever you drop, this page plays the same recorded example on our own sample receipts.

Sample folder: nine March slips from a small builder, one of them deliberately unreadable.

Book a live demo

20 minutes, screen share, your own receipts. No slides.

Everything above runs in your browser on receipts we made up. Nothing you drop on it is uploaded, opened or sent anywhere. Book the twenty minutes and we run the same thing on your own folder while you watch.

01

Send us ten of your worst slips

WhatsApp ten receipts to +27 73 932 6852. Not your ten cleanest. The faded thermal slip, the one photographed on a dashboard at a robot, the handwritten one from the guy who fixed the gate. We send the sheet back the same working day.

That is the whole test. If it reads your worst ten, it reads the rest.

Email works too: [email protected]. Or call the same number and talk it through for four minutes first.

02

What goes in

Whatever you actually have. The mess is the point.

  • Phone photos, including crooked ones and ones with a thumb in the corner
  • PDF invoices emailed by suppliers
  • Scans, screenshots, WhatsApp forwards
  • Mixed currencies if you buy abroad

What helps: a receipt where the total is visible. What defeats it: a slip that faded to blank in the bakkie's windscreen. No system reads what is not there.

03

What comes out

One sheet, one row per receipt.

ColumnWhat it holds
DateThe date on the receipt, not the date you photographed it
SupplierAs printed
TotalAmount including VAT
VATSplit out, or marked as no VAT shown
VAT numberWhere the slip carries one
CategoryFuel, materials, travel, entertainment, subscriptions, and any category you name
Payment methodCard, cash, EFT, where visible
ConfidenceClean, or flagged for a human look
Source fileThe original filename, so you can open the photo

Flagged rows sit at the top. You review those and leave the rest alone.

04

The example demo

01

Open the sample folder

Nine March slips from a small builder: hardware, fuel, a Makro invoice, an Uber, a restaurant, a handwritten gate repair, one faded thermal slip.

02

Run it

The example plays in about eight seconds. Nothing is uploaded and no file of yours is opened, whatever you drop on it.

03

Read the sheet

Eight rows clean, one flagged: the faded slip came back as a question because the total could not be read.

04

Check the VAT column

The handwritten gate repair is marked as not registered rather than quietly written as zero.

Label on the page: Example demo, sample data.

05

What the missing receipts are costing you

Today

Receipts pile up. Someone sits down on a Sunday and types them, or your bookkeeper bills you to do it. The ones that never make it out of a jacket pocket are money you spent and cannot claim, and you never see the total of that number anywhere.

With this running

Photos go into one folder as they happen. The sheet is current whenever you open it. Month end becomes a review of the flagged rows.

The typing is the small saving. The receipts that stop disappearing are the real one, and they show up as VAT claimed and as profit that was never actually profit.

06

Running it on a real batch

Ten by WhatsApp needs nothing from you. A bigger batch runs in a secured session, which we set up on the demos page.

Files are deleted within seven days, sooner if you ask.

A demo on clean PDFs teaches neither of us anything, so bring the drawer.

07

What it costs when you stop demoing

Reading receipts is an agent's job, not a per-document one.

Implementation is free for a standard agent. A complex build, with unusual supplier formats or a lot of exceptions, is quoted before we start, so you see the number first.

What the agent doesA month
A simple agent: one job, one format, one destinationFrom R1,000
A standard agent: several formats, your own rules, writing into two systemsFrom R2,500
A heavy agent: high volume, many exceptions, several people relying on itFrom R5,000

A small business running under 200 slips a month in one supplier format is a simple agent, from R1,000 a month. A retail group putting 2,400 slips a month through this, across many supplier layouts with several people relying on it, is a heavy agent, from R5,000 a month.

The subscription covers the agent running, the model costs, monitoring, and the changes when a supplier alters a format or your rules change. Nothing extra to buy when something shifts.

It is month to month. You own your data and the process map stays yours, and you can stop any time.

08

What this demo does not prove

It proves the reading. It does not prove the plumbing.

  • It does not post anything into Xero, Sage, QuickBooks or whatever holds your accounts. Getting the sheet in there is build work and it depends on what your package allows.
  • It does not apply your accountant's category rules until somebody tells us them. Out of the box the categories are sensible, not yours.
  • It does not handle your edge cases yet: credit notes, the card that is half personal and half business, the recurring supplier who never issues a slip.
  • One batch does not tell us your monthly cost. Only your volume does.

The numbers, in one place

  • Reading receipts is priced as an agent subscription: from R1,000 a month for a simple agent, from R2,500 a month for a standard agent, from R5,000 a month for a heavy agent.
  • Implementation is free for a standard build; a complex one is quoted before we start.
