Extract stage

  • Super Fast Data Extraction
  • Supplier Auto-Recognition
  • Smarter With Every Receipt

Receiptflow's data extraction reads supplier, date, VAT, and total from every receipt the instant it's captured, without traditional OCR. Extracted fields land directly in the review queue, already matched to the right client, so nobody re-types a number by hand.

Reads receipts that trip up OCR

Traditional OCR matches character shapes against a dictionary and fails when print has faded, glare has washed out a section, or the layout does not match a known template. Receiptflow reads receipts in context, so it copes with the condition receipts actually arrive in.

The original image stays attached

Extracted data does not replace the source document, the original receipt image sits alongside it in review, so a reviewer can check the extraction against the receipt itself in one view.

The problem it removes

Why manual data entry doesn't scale

Every manually entered receipt is a chance for a wrong VAT figure or a mistyped total, and it's time nobody bills for. Extraction that only works on clean, flat, well-lit receipts just moves that manual work downstream instead of removing it.

No re-typing

Fields arrive extracted, a reviewer checks and approves rather than transcribing figures from a photo by hand.

No format failures

Faded thermal receipts, unusual layouts, and handwritten totals are read in context, not rejected for not matching a template.

No processing backlog

Extraction is instant rather than queued, so receipts do not pile up waiting for someone to have time to process them.

Who it's for

Practices moving off OCR-based tools

Practices frustrated by OCR misreads

If receipts regularly need manual correction because of poor print quality, extraction built for real-world receipts removes that friction.

High-volume receipt processing

Practices processing hundreds of receipts a week feel the time saved from accurate first-pass extraction most directly.

Clients with varied receipt types

From till receipts to formal invoices, extraction that is not tied to one template handles the mix without separate rules per format.

FAQs

Questions about Receiptflow's data extraction

See extracted data land in the Accountant Review Dashboard, or read the comparison on Receiptflow vs Dext.

How accurate is Receiptflow's data extraction?

Receiptflow reads receipts that trip up character-matching OCR, including faded thermal receipts and unusual layouts. Accuracy also improves over time, see Smarter With Every Receipt.

What fields does Receiptflow extract?

Supplier name, date, net amount, VAT amount, and total are extracted from every receipt as standard, matched to the client it belongs to.

Is Receiptflow better than OCR-based tools?

For real receipts, yes. OCR matches character shapes and fails on faded print or non-standard layouts. Receiptflow reads the receipt in context instead.

Does extraction happen automatically?

Yes. As soon as a receipt is captured, whether by photo, upload, or email-in, extraction begins immediately with no manual step required.

What happens if a field is extracted incorrectly?

You correct it in the review dashboard before approving. Every correction improves future accuracy across your entire client base.

Does extraction work the same for every client?

Yes, extraction is not configured per client, every receipt goes through the same reading process regardless of which client it belongs to.

How long does extraction take per receipt?

Extraction begins the moment a receipt is captured and typically completes within seconds, ready for the review queue almost immediately.
