Receipt capture for builders

The receipt capture app built for building companies.

Your crew photograph the receipt on site. Rivit reads it, codes it to the right job and cost code, and sends it to Xero and JobTread. Nobody types anything.

The Problem

A receipt is only useful once it reaches the job.

General receipt scanners get the receipt into your accounts. They don't know which job it belongs to, and that is the part builders need.

  • Receipts sit in ute consoles and camera rolls for weeks.
  • Someone in the office retypes each one, usually on a Sunday night.
  • The bookkeeper doesn't know which job it was for, so it goes to overheads.
  • The job looks more profitable than it is until the final account.

How It Works

Snap it on site. See it against the job.

  1. CaptureThe person who bought it takes a photo in the Rivit app. One button, no fields to fill in.
  2. ReadRivit reads the vendor, ABN, invoice number, date, tax and every line item.
  3. CodeIt matches the job from the site address and the note, and picks the cost code from how you have coded that vendor before.
  4. SyncYour bookkeeper approves it and the bill lands in JobTread against the job and in Xero with the right account and tax rate.

Questions

Receipt capture for builders, answered.

What is a receipt capture app for builders?

It is software that turns a photo or PDF of a receipt or supplier bill into a coded entry in your books. Rivit is built for building companies: it also works out which job and cost code the cost belongs to, so the receipt lands against the right job budget as well as in your accounts.

How do my tradies send receipts in?

They open Rivit on their phone and take a photo. That is the whole job. Office staff and suppliers can forward emails and PDFs to your Rivit inbox address.

Does it read handwritten or crumpled receipts?

Rivit reads phone photos of paper receipts, including creased ones, as well as PDFs and multi-page supplier invoices. If a field can't be read with confidence it is flagged for a person to check, never guessed.

How does it know which job a receipt is for?

From the delivery or site address on the document, the note your crew add when they upload, and which jobs you have been active on recently.

Which accounting software does it work with?

Xero for your accounts. If you run JobTread for job management, connect that too and every bill lands in both.

Do I pay per user?

No. Every plan includes unlimited users, so every person on site can have it on their phone.

How much does it cost?

Plans start at $59 a month with a free trial of 30 days or 50 documents. See pricing.
