Digitize and Organize Receipts with Ease

SimplyWise streamlines the process of digitizing and organizing your receipts. Here’s how it works:

Scan: Open the SimplyWise app on your smartphone or other device and use the built-in camera to scan your paper receipts and other documents. The app uses advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to capture and extract relevant information from the receipt, such as the date, merchant name, and amount.

Automatic Extraction: SimplyWise analyzes scanned receipts and automatically extracts the important details. This eliminates the need for manual data entry and saves you valuable time and effort. Say goodbye to the tedious task of manually recording every receipt!

Digital Storage: Once the receipt details are extracted, SimplyWise securely stores the digital copy of the receipt in the app. This cloud-based storage ensures that your receipts are accessible anytime, anywhere, and are safe from damage or loss – this also means that none of these documents are taking up valuable storage space on your phone. This is especially important if you’re saving receipts for taxes!

Organize and Categorize: SimplyWise takes it a step further by automatically categorizing your receipts based on the merchant and expense type. This makes it easy to track and analyze your expenses, giving you a clear picture of where your money is going.

Search and Retrieval: With SimplyWise, finding a receipt when you need it (like if the IRS requires receipts) is a breeze. You can use the search bar to find a receipt based on any word on the paper (or paperless) receipt. For example, to locate your Walmart receipt you can type “Walmart” into the search bar. Or, you could enter the date of the transaction, the total amount of the transaction, one of the line items listed on that transaction, or even the last 4 digits of the card you used to pay. No more rummaging through stacks of paper receipts or frantically searching for that one elusive receipt!

Other Uses:  SimplyWise is also equipped with multiple integrations – such as Quickbooks, Amazon, PayPal, and Walmart (to name a few), as well as other tools like a Mileage Tracker which is an essential for those who need to calculate mileage reimbursement.

SimplyWise has a desktop version as well. From this access you can batch upload scanned documents you may have stored on your computer, saving you time and increasing efficiency.
