Expense inbox with receipt previews, suggested categorization, and the per-job cost-allocation summary.

Snap a receipt photo at the gas pump, the lumber yard, the parts counter — OCR pulls the vendor, amount, and date. Categorize once per vendor and the system remembers. Mileage tracked from the phone's GPS by trip, with IRS-rate calculations. End of month, the bookkeeper exports one clean report to the GL or to the accountant.

Common questions

Expenses — answered.

The questions we hear most when operators are evaluating this module. Anything specific to your industry, your state, or your existing vendor — we'll answer on the discovery call.

01 How accurate is the OCR on a crumpled gas-station receipt? +
Surprisingly good — modern OCR handles thermal-paper receipts at >90% accuracy on the line items that matter (vendor, amount, date). When confidence is low, the line is flagged for review instead of guessed. You confirm in two taps.
02 Can field crews log expenses without admin overhead? +
Yes. The mobile flow is photo → confirm vendor → tap-to-tag-job. Three taps from receipt-in-hand to logged-and-allocated. The bookkeeper reviews the batch at month-end instead of typing each one.
03 Does mileage tracking drain the phone battery? +
It's significant-location-only by default — the OS wakes the app when the device moves meaningfully, not continuously. Most users see no measurable battery impact. Continuous tracking is an option for crews where every mile matters.
