App to Itemize Receipts

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm a software developer and my parents run a small vending operation with a few machines for retirement income.

They buy their inventory from wholesale stores like Costco, Sam's Club, and occasionally Wal-Mart.

They keep all their receipts, and manually enter in each line item for inventory keeping purposes.

This seems tedious and time-consuming and got me thinking there's got to be an easier way.

I've thought of building an app where you can take a picture of the receipt with your smart phone and it'll automatically extract the prices for each line item, total, sub-total, tax, store name,  date / time, and other key information. Then, you could export the data to a CSV file and import it into vending or accounting software.

Do you all perform manual data entry from receipts for inventory keeping or tax purposes? Would you find such an app useful?
