Field Expense Claim SOP: Snap Receipts via WhatsApp, Auto-Log into Company Accounts

Technicians and field staff snap a quick photo of fuel, toll, or hardware receipts in WhatsApp. OCR extracts dates and totals automatically, populating accounting sheets for instant manager approval.

Operational Bottleneck

Field workers accumulate crumpled fuel and toll receipts in pockets or glove boxes. By month-end, thermal paper fades, receipts get lost, and staff dump shoeboxes of wrinkled slips on finance desks. Accounting spends 3 to 5 days manually sorting slips, checking calculator totals, and entering line items into spreadsheets. Friction and reimbursement disputes routinely flare up.

Monthly drain:RM 3,000 - RM 8,000
Automation Outcome

Untracked or delayed field expense processing causes payroll bottlenecks, employee frustration, and occasional double-claiming that leaks thousands in operating cash.
