How does it categorize if items aren't listed?

By store name. Example: 'Supermarket' → food, 'Uber' → transport, 'Cinema' → entertainment. If unknown → asks employee.

Works with different receipt formats (paper, digital, register)?

Yes, any format: paper receipt (photo), digital receipt (PDF, email screenshot), register receipt (RU format), store receipt.

Can it integrate with accounting (1C, QuickBooks)?

Yes, optionally. Via API or CSV export agent can send categorized expenses directly to 1C or QuickBooks for auto-posting.

How fast does the agent work?

Usually 5–10 seconds per receipt: OCR, parsing, categorization, sync. For many receipts → parallel processing, 100 receipts in 5–10 minutes.

Does it work offline?

No, needs internet for OCR and sync. But can photograph offline, then send when network available and agent processes.

Any fraud controls? Can employee submit fake receipt?

Agent can check: amount ≤ limit, store in whitelist, date reasonable (not future). Also can manually review if amount above threshold. Main protection is audit trail: all receipts saved with photos.

What's eating your time

Expense claims = a pile of manual work: photograph receipt, type amount, select category, fill form

Receipts get lost: took photo, forgot where file is, then need to recalculate what you spent

No categorization system: employee says 'food' but it was coffee, report inaccurate

Accountant has to re-enter: expense report arrived, must retype everything into accounting system
