A photo of the invoice is the whole input

Contractors do not send structured data. They send a photo of a docket, a PDF from an app, or a note written on the back of something. Any of those work: the invoice is read, the lines are pulled out, and the totals are checked against each other before anything else happens.

  • Photo, scan or PDF, whatever the contractor actually sent
  • Line items, labour, parts and tax pulled out separately
  • Attached to the ticket it belongs to, so the job and the bill stay together

Checked against the quote, and against this vendor

The comparison is not against some national average. It is against the quote you accepted for this job, and against what this particular contractor has charged you before. That is what turns "seems about right" into something you can actually query.

  • Every line matched back to the quote it was supposed to come from
  • Rates compared with what this vendor charged you on past jobs
  • Duplicate charges caught, including a callout already inside a quoted price

It flags. You decide.

Nothing is refused, held or disputed on your behalf. A flag is a sentence explaining what looks off and which line it is on, and then it is your call: pay it, ask the question, or pay the rest and hold the one line. Plenty of flags turn out to be perfectly fair.

  • The flag names the line and says why, in words you can send on
  • Approve anyway in one tap when you know the reason
  • Whatever you decide is recorded against the vendor for next time
And then pay them, direct

The honest limits

It reads what is on the paper. It cannot tell you whether two hours of labour was really two hours, and it will not accuse anybody of anything. Treat it as a careful second pair of eyes on a bill you were going to skim, because that is what it is.

  • It compares documents; it was not on site and does not pretend to have been
  • A flag means "worth asking about", never "fraud"
  • A first invoice from a brand new vendor has no history to compare against yet
