The problem

In a trading business, bills arrive all day: on the counter, with the driver, in the godown. They pile up until the accountant finds time to type them in, and some never make it.

What I built

A WhatsApp number the team sends bills to. It reads the photo, pulls out the party, amounts, tax and e-way bill details, and posts the entry to the accounting software. Nobody has to install anything or learn a new app.
