Xpense

Receipt OCR for expense claims, with duplicate detection

The employee takes a photo of the receipt. Xpense reads it, the employee checks what was read, and a receipt that was already submitted is flagged.

Receipts that read themselves A receipt is photographed and read, checked by the employee, and a duplicate is flagged. Shown with demo data.
How it works

From the photo to the claim

  1. Photo

    Take a photo in the app, or send it on WhatsApp.

  2. Read

    The receipt is read automatically (OCR).

  3. Check

    The employee checks what was read and submits.

  4. Duplicate check

    A receipt already submitted is flagged.

Review

The employee stays in control of what is filed

Reading the receipt does not submit the claim. The employee sees what was read, corrects it if needed and submits. On submission the claim is checked against your policy.

Duplicates

The same bill twice is flagged

Duplicate detection is part of receipt reading. When a receipt matches one that was already submitted, the claim carries a duplicate flag for the reviewer to look at.

Tax details

GST details go with the claim

GST details are captured and validated when the claim is submitted, and they are included in report exports.
