Receipt Problems Every Contractor Faces
From faded receipts in your truck console to missing invoices, these are the problems we solve.
Receipts Damaged on Job Sites
Paper receipts get wet, dusty, torn, and crumpled on construction sites. By the time you get home, half of them are illegible. Scan them immediately and the digital copy lasts forever.
Tracking Material Costs Per Job
When you buy supplies for three different jobs in one trip to the hardware store, how do you split the costs? Tag each receipt to a specific job so your project costing stays accurate.
Subcontractor Expense Receipts
Subcontractors send invoices in every format: email, paper, text message photos. Forward or upload them all into one place and let the AI sort out the details.
Fuel and Equipment Receipts
Fuel stops, equipment rentals, and tool purchases add up fast but are easy to lose track of. Scan fuel receipts at the pump and equipment rental receipts at pickup to keep a complete record.
How It Works for Contractors
A workflow designed for people who are on their feet all day, not behind a desk.

Tag to a Job

Objections and edge cases
Contractor Receipt Scanner FAQ
Common questions from contractors about tracking job expenses and managing receipts.
Can I scan receipts on a dusty or wet job site?
Yes. The mobile app works like your phone camera. Snap a photo of the receipt right at the hardware store or on the job site. The AI handles wrinkled, smudged, or partially damaged receipts and extracts the data even when the paper is not in perfect condition.
How do I track material costs for different jobs?
Use categories or tags to assign each receipt to a specific job or project. When you need to see how much you spent on materials for a particular build, filter by that job to get an instant cost summary.
Does it handle subcontractor receipts and invoices?
Absolutely. Upload or forward subcontractor invoices and the AI extracts the vendor name, amount, date, and line items. Categorize them under the relevant job so you have complete project cost visibility.
Can I export my expenses for tax deductions?
Yes. Export to CSV, PDF, Google Sheets, or accounting software like QuickBooks. Filter by category or date range to export only the receipts you need for tax filing or job cost reports.
What about fuel receipts from gas stations?
Gas station receipts are one of the most common receipt types contractors scan. The AI extracts the fuel amount, total cost, and station name. Track fuel expenses by job or vehicle to maximize your deductions.
