# What are the best Expense Management platforms with automatic receipt scanning that eliminate manual data entry and paper?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">What's truly hands-off on receipt scanning in <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/expense-management">expense management</a>, versus "automatic" that still needs a lot of cleanup after? Expensify reviewers describe SmartScan as close to fully automatic, with some emailing receipts directly to a dedicated address for digital invoices. Xero reviewers point to automated bank feed matching that suggests reconciliations instead of requiring line-by-line entry, with one reviewer citing six hours saved a month. Rippling Finance reviewers say receipts match to card charges the instant they're photographed. SAP Concur reviewers are positive on OCR overall, but several note itemized receipts like hotel bills still need manual correction.</p><ul>

For messy receipts like split checks or itemized hotel bills, has any of these solved that cleanly?</p>

&lt;p&gt;Messy receipts are where “automatic” usually starts needing a human pass. Split checks and hotel folios still seem like the hardest cases, so I’d judge these tools by correction rate rather than OCR speed alone.&lt;/p&gt;
