Receipt AI for WhatsApp — from a phone snap to a posted ERP entry

Field workers, drivers and operations teams capture receipts, invoices and delivery notes via WhatsApp. AirLayer © does the rest — extraction, validation and posting to your ERP / SAP / expense system.

The problem

Receipts and invoices live in pockets, glove compartments and inboxes. Manual entry is slow, error-prone and resented by the team. Finance closes the month chasing photos, and ERP data quality suffers.

What it is

A WhatsApp-native AI capture pipeline for receipts, invoices, delivery notes and proofs. AI extracts vendor, date, amount, VAT, line items and more — validates them against policy and posts straight to your finance / ERP system.

FAQ

Common questions

Does it work with handwritten or wrinkled receipts?+

Yes. AirLayer © combines OCR with vision-language models that handle low-quality, multilingual and partially handwritten content; ambiguous cases are flagged for human review.

Can we enforce expense policy?+

Yes. Per-tenant rules for limits, categories, projects and cost centres are evaluated at capture time and surfaced to the user.

Is it secure for finance data?+

Yes. EU data residency, encrypted transport, role-based access, audit trail and tenant-isolated indexing.
