Our drivers just like to hand write everything. We had 6 FTEs just processing driver tickets until we found Lido.
Receipt data extraction sits next to receipt OCR, receipt scanning, and expense data capture, and in practice the phrases blur together. The people searching for it are rarely tracking personal lattes. They are AP teams reconciling company card spend, franchise operators collecting purchase records from a dozen stores, restaurant managers logging supplier delivery receipts, and auditors reconstructing a paper trail. Receipts are hostile input: thermal fade, wrinkles, handwritten tips and totals. Lido reads them anyway, returns the fields you named, and writes to Excel, Google Sheets, CSV, or an API.
Frequently asked questions
What is receipt data extraction?
Turning a receipt image into structured fields: merchant, date, subtotal, tax, tip, total, payment method, and the individual line items. The input is usually a phone photo or a scan of thermal paper. The output is rows in a spreadsheet instead of a pile on a desk.
Can I extract data from receipts in bulk?
Yes. Upload hundreds at once and each receipt becomes a row, or each line item becomes a row if you need that grain. Every field carries a confidence score, so you check the flagged handful rather than eyeballing the whole batch.
Does it read faded or crumpled receipts?
That is the normal case, not the exception. Thermal prints fade, paper gets folded, and photos come in at odd angles. Lido reads them at 99%+ field-level accuracy and flags anything it is unsure about instead of guessing silently.
What fields does receipt extraction software capture?
The standard set is merchant, date, amounts, tax, and line items, but fields are defined in plain English, so you can add whatever your process needs: location codes, last four digits of the card, reimbursable yes or no. No template building involved.
Can receipts go straight to Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. Results export to Excel, Google Sheets, or CSV, or flow through an API into your accounting stack. Restaurant groups use this for supplier delivery receipts, franchise operators for store-level purchases, bookkeepers for client expense piles.
