Photograph a receipt and the expense writes itself
Snap a receipt and have the AI read it.
Part of automations & ai in Gaffer, which replaces a to-do list of follow-ups nobody gets to.

The follow-ups you never get round to, done every time.
Quote chasers, invoice reminders, review requests, service-due rebooking and win-back sequences run on their own. An AI assistant drafts replies, RAMS and quotes from photos.
It is like having an admin who never forgets, for the price of a round of coffees.
Receipt OCR is one of the 8 things in automations & ai. See the rest →
- Photograph a receipt and the supplier, date, amount and VAT are read off it
- The expense is attached to the job it belongs to
- Fuel, parking and merchant receipts stop living in the footwell
- The record and the image are both kept for the accountant
Step 06 of the job: paid
The customer pays by card, Apple Pay or Direct Debit. Xero or QuickBooks are updated. A review request goes out. And eleven months later, the annual service reminder books the next job.
Automations & AI is where receipt OCR sits, and that is the step it shows up in most. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →

Will it send things to my customers without asking me?
Only the sequences you switch on, and you decide which. Everything sent is logged against the customer so you can see exactly what they received and when.
Can I change the wording?
All of it. The templates ship written in plain English so they work on day one, and every one of them is editable — most businesses change a few lines and leave the rest.
Which plan is it on?
Every paid plan. Receipt OCR is included for unlimited users at no extra cost — the monthly, annual and lifetime plans differ only in how you pay.
