RECEIPTS

Stop losing receipts: the WhatsApp method

Let staff snap and send receipts from their own phones — and never chase a crumpled slip again.

The best expense process is the one people will actually use. A shared WhatsApp capture number lets staff send a clear photo before the receipt reaches a pocket, van or desk drawer.

Match each sender’s mobile number to their team profile so the expense lands on the right person’s sheet automatically. Ask for a quick note when the business purpose is not obvious.

Review unmatched senders and unreadable images regularly. Small, frequent checks prevent a month-end pile-up.

QUICK CHECKLIST
  • Photograph the full receipt
  • Send it as soon as the purchase is made
  • Add a short business-purpose note when needed
