AI USE CASE
Expense report auto-categorisation
Photograph receipts and let AI categorise, code and book them.
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.
