Do you find it challenging to keep track of receipts and PO numbers (Purchase Order) while working on site? With the demands of the job and the team constantly moving, it's easy to lose track of receipts. Being unsure about a project's exact expenses can lead to headaches.

Categorize your receipt with a folder

After sending a receipt via SMS, the system prompts you to choose an existing folder or create a new one. Any new folders are also available the next time you want to text a receipt.

Please reply with a number to choose an existing folder, or provide a new folder name to categorize your receipt if the existing options do not match.

We believe that the best way to understand your return is by tracking your investment. In construction, where teams frequently move across different job sites and are constantly on the go, a work phone typically serves better than a work computer as the appropriate setup.
