Invoice data extraction for construction and trades
Construction and trades businesses use InvoiceJet to capture supplier and subcontractor invoices, including phone photos taken on site, and turn them into verified data with correct totals. Messy layouts and handwritten suffixes are read with a confidence level on every field, and entity tags keep costs tied to the right job.
What slows you down
- Supplier invoices arrive as crumpled paper, PDFs, and photos from the field.
- Totals with fuel surcharges and partial deliveries are easy to mis-key.
- Job costing falls apart when invoices are not tied to the right project.
How InvoiceJet helps
Photos and messy layouts, handled
An OCR fallback reads scans and phone photos, and confidence chips show exactly where a smudge or glare caused uncertainty instead of hiding it.
Totals checked against the math
Math checks confirm line items sum to the subtotal and subtotal plus tax equals the total, so surcharges and adjustments do not slip through wrong.
Cost tracking per job
Entity tags let you track and export invoices per project, so job costing stays accurate without a separate spreadsheet.
How it works for you
- 1
The field sends it in from the phone
Crews photograph a supplier ticket on site and forward or upload it, no login needed on their end. The OCR fallback reads the photo even with glare or a crease.
- 2
Totals get checked against the math
Line items must sum to the subtotal and subtotal plus tax must equal the total, so a fuel surcharge or a partial delivery credit gets flagged if it does not add up.
- 3
Cost lands on the right job
Tag each invoice to a job, either as it comes in or at review once you match it to a delivery. Job costing stays current without a separate spreadsheet.
- 4
Export per job for the estimator
Filter by job tag and export CSV to feed your cost tracking or hand to whoever runs the numbers on that project.
Common questions
Will it read an invoice I photographed on site?
Yes. Photographed and scanned documents run through an OCR fallback, and each field carries a confidence level so you see where the photo made a value uncertain.
Two crew members photographed the same delivery ticket. Will I pay it twice?
No. Duplicate detection matches on vendor, invoice number, and amount, so a second copy of the same ticket is flagged before it reaches payment.
