From lumber yards to hardware stores — capture every purchase instantly
Scan Receipts Right on the Job Site
Crumpled receipts from the lumber yard. Faded invoices from the hardware store. Handwritten estimates from subcontractors. Construction generates more paper than almost any other industry — and losing even one receipt can mean a missed deduction. SparkReceipt's AI scans any receipt in seconds, even crumpled or faded ones. Snap a photo on the job site and it's instantly digitized, categorized, and stored.
When the crew buys materials on the job, SparkReceipt for small teams lets each person snap their own receipts into the same account, and only you see the whole picture.
Know exactly how much each job costs — down to the last nail
Track Expenses by Project, Not Just by Date
Most expense trackers dump everything into one timeline. That doesn't work when you're running three jobs at once. SparkReceipt lets you tag expenses by project, so you always know exactly how much each job is costing you — materials, labor, fuel, equipment rental, and everything in between. No more guessing which purchase went to which job.
How It Works for Construction
Capture Receipts on the Job Site
Snap a photo of any receipt — lumber, fuel, hardware, subcontractor invoices. SparkReceipt's AI extracts vendor, amount, date, and category in seconds. Works even with crumpled, faded, or handwritten receipts.
AI Categorizes by Project and Expense Type
Every receipt is automatically categorized into construction-relevant groups — materials, labor, fuel, equipment, permits. Tag each expense to a specific project for per-job cost tracking.
Generate Per-Project Expense Reports
One click generates a complete expense report for any project — with totals, tax breakdowns, and attached receipt images. Export to PDF, Excel, or CSV. Share with your accountant or send directly to your client.
