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.

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.
