What it is

A vision+NLP model reads receipt photos, extracts amount, vendor, VAT and category, matches to corporate card transactions and books to the right account. Cuts expense-report time by 70% and dramatically improves VAT recovery.

Data you need

Chart of accounts, VAT rules, corporate card feed.

Required systems

  • accounting
  • erp

Why it works

  • Per-country VAT rules verified before launch
  • Confidence threshold for human review

How this goes wrong

  • VAT codes mismatched on cross-border receipts
  • Auto-approval thresholds too loose, fraud slips through

When NOT to do this

Skip if you process under 50 expense reports a month, manual is fine.
