Mobile Receipt Scanning and Submission via WhatsApp: New Expense Tracking Solution

    Expense management just got simpler. Veryfi introduces WhatsApp integration, enabling instant receipt submission through the world’s most popular messaging platform. This new feature eliminates the need for additional apps while maintaining enterprise-grade security and accuracy.

    The Evolution of Receipt Capture

    Traditional expense tracking often creates friction in the user experience:

    • Multiple app installations required: Organizations struggle with a fragmented technology landscape where employees juggle multiple applications for expense management. This complexity often leads to inconsistent expense tracking and delayed submissions.
    • Complex submission procedures: Traditional receipt submission involves multi-step processes that burden users with manual data entry and complex categorization requirements. These complications result in submission delays and increased error rates.
    • Delayed processing times: Conventional receipt processing systems introduce significant lag between submission and processing, with delays averaging 10 business days for standard expense submissions. This bottleneck affects everything from employee reimbursement to month-end closing procedures.
    • Limited accessibility: Traditional systems often restrict users to specific platforms or devices, creating barriers for mobile workforces and global teams. The lack of flexible submission options results in delayed expense reporting and accumulated backlogs.

    WhatsApp integration directly addresses these pain points by leveraging a platform that’s already integral to daily communications, transforming a familiar messaging app into a powerful receipt capture tool.

    How WhatsApp Integration Works

    Simple Two-Step Setup

    1. Registration
      • Log in to your Veryfi profile on the web portal or mobile app.
      • Add your WhatsApp phone number in the Profile section under Settings. If you have more than one Expense App account registered with the same phone number, make sure to enable MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) on the account and phone number you want to use for the WhatsApp channel.
    2. Receipt Submission
      • Snap images or PDFs to +1 650-436-4512
      • Automatic processing and categorization
      • Instant confirmation

    Note that the WhatsApp Expense chatbot works on both mobile and browser.

    Key Benefits
