Snap Receipts

Snap Receipts is a mobile app that scans physical receipts and extracts structured line-item data — vendor, date, items, quantities, unit costs — to feed into bill of materials accounting workflows.

The target users are businesses where ingredient or material costs directly determine margins: restaurants tracking food costs per dish, construction contractors reconciling material spend against project estimates, and similar operations where generic bookkeeping tools aren’t granular enough.

Problem

Most receipt scanning tools dump data into expense categories. That’s not enough for a restaurant that needs to know the cost of eggs per omelette, or a contractor reconciling lumber spend against a specific job’s estimate. Snap Receipts aims to extract at the line-item level and map purchases to the materials they represent.

Approach

• Camera capture with perspective correction and preprocessing
• OCR and document extraction to parse line items, quantities, and prices
• Structured output suitable for import into BOM or inventory tracking systems
