Why This Takes Longer Than It Should
Letting paper receipts pile up means scanning dozens of them at month end. Photographing each one into the cloud instead accumulates a record of where you ate, where you stayed, and how you travelled on someone else's server. Thermal receipts fade within months, so digitizing early is the right instinct — the question is where the digitizing happens.
What's Actually At Risk Here
- ✓A stack of receipts is a movement log. Dates, vendors, and amounts in sequence reveal travel destinations and daily patterns.
- ✓Capture through PDF happens in the browser, so expense data never routes through an outside service.
- ✓Where company policy forbids cloud storage, this is easier to adopt precisely because nothing is transmitted.

Where People Get Tripped Up
These catch people out even when the steps are followed correctly. Skimming them first saves a redo.
- Thermal paper fades. Photograph receipts the day you get them.
- One PDF per receipt creates an unmanageable pile at reimbursement time. Shoot as you go, then merge into one monthly file.
- Accounting needs the original to be legible. Before raising the compression ratio, confirm the description and amount are still readable.
