Expense Management | Mobile Receipt Capture
Phone photo to submitted expense in 30 seconds.
Photograph the receipt. OCR reads merchant, amount, date and GST. The GSTIN on the invoice is captured automatically. Category suggested from the merchant. Policy check runs before submission. The employee submits a complete expense, not a draft.

Capture that respects the policy and the law.
Receipt OCR trained on Indian receipt formats. GSTIN capture is the gate to ITC. Policy enforcement at submission means the AP team reviews compliant expenses, not non-compliant ones.

Mobile Receipt Capture FAQ
What buyers ask.
Does OCR work on a faded petrol receipt or a crumpled hotel bill?
Yes, with degraded confidence. Clean receipts hit 95 to 98% accuracy on header fields. Crumpled or faded receipts drop to 75 to 85%; the OCR shows confidence per field; the employee corrects what is uncertain before submitting.
What if the merchant is unknown to the system?
New merchants are captured at first encounter. The category is suggested by the OCR's general classification (hotel, restaurant, taxi, etc.); the employee confirms or sets it. The system learns the mapping for future captures.
GSTIN on the invoice is for the employee's personal use, not the company. What happens?
The system validates the GSTIN against the company's registered GSTINs. Mismatches surface as a warning before submission. The expense can still be submitted as non-ITC; the ITC is correctly excluded.
