What Does Dext Do?
Dext is a software application that allows business owners to electronically capture and store their receipts.Â
Supporting documentation is securely stored electronically so it’s available on any computer or connected device. No more need for the shoe-box full of receipts.
After making a purchase, the business owner uploads the receipt to Dext.Â
The software then uses optical character recognition to extract information from the document. Â No more manual entry.
Extracting the data helps eliminate user error. Dext will separate out:
- Date of purchase
- Where the purchase was made (supplier name)
- Amount of purchase
- Sales tax paid
- Currency of purchase if available on the receipt
Now that all of this information is recorded electronically, Dext can be connected to bookkeeping software such as ÐßÐßÍøÕ¾ to really streamline things.

Small to Medium Sized Businesses
Dext really shines for businesses with multiple owners or employees paying for things and submitting receipts. Â

Dext also makes expense reports much easier by allowing employees to submit their supporting documents electronically. Â
Once submitted, the receipts can easily be added to an expense report based on the user that submitted them.
