Your team's expense app. Not just a receipt scanner.
Most receipt scanner apps capture the image and stop there. Budgetly reads the receipt, matches it to the card transaction, extracts GST, codes the category, and syncs to Xero. Your team snaps once at the register. Everything else is automatic.

Replace receipt chasing with receipt capture at the moment of spend.
Finance teams spend hours every week chasing receipts. Employees lose them, forget them, or submit them weeks late. The data arrives incomplete, uncoded, and too late for real-time reporting. Budgetly's mobile app captures receipts at the point of sale and does the rest automatically.
The old way
- Receipts lost in wallets, glove boxes, and email inboxes
- Finance chasing employees for missing receipts every month
- Manual data entry from receipt to spreadsheet to accounting software
- GST extracted by hand, one receipt at a time
- No connection between the receipt and the card transaction
- Expense reports submitted weeks after the spend happened

- Auto-matched to the card transaction instantly

How the Budgetly app works for your team
One photo at the register. Everything else is automatic.
Your employee taps their Budgetly card, then snaps the receipt with the mobile app. Budgetly’s OCR reads the receipt, extracts the merchant, line items, GST, and total, then matches it to the card transaction. No typing. No data entry. No filing.
- OCR reads receipts in under 2 seconds
- Auto-matches to the card transaction by amount and merchant
- Extracts GST, line items, and total automatically
- Works with crumpled, faded, and thermal receipts
- Push notification reminds the employee to snap
- Forwarded email receipts captured automatically too
