Continia Expense Management also offers a smooth approval process and tight integration with Google Maps and major credit card providers, and it allows you to directly import your employees’ credit card spending and automatically link them with a registered receipt. This makes it the last word in expense management solutions for businesses of all sizes.

(November 2022) Introducing SmartScan For Continia Expense Management
Continia is constantly striving to optimise the time you spend on the expense management process. With the introduction of SmartScan for the Expense app, expense reporting is even easier than ever.
SmartScan is now available for both future and existing customers for the Expense Management app. Continia is currently working on adding SmartScan to the Expense Portal, and will make it available to users like yourself soon.
What Is SmartScan?
It’s a brand-new feature that Continia recently added to the Expense app to help free up more of your time. It uses cutting-edge OCR technology to capture and recognise data from receipts scanned by your business travellers, and automatically fills in the information for you.
How Does SmartScan Work?
Source: Continia
When your employee is out on a business trip, they can use the Expense app to take pictures of their receipts.
SmartScan then automatically captures and recognizes the data in these receipts, and fills in the amount, currency, date, and description fields for each of these receipts. It can also identify data in PDF files attached to an expense, such as from an email.
Regardless of the country of origin, SmartScan will work on any type of receipts.
What Does It Cost?
There are two ways SmartScan is priced, depending on how Continia Expense Management is hosted;
On-premises: All on-premises licenses will automatically include 1,000 SmartScans per year. Each additional SmartScan above this will incur an extra charge.
Cloud: The Essential Module comes with unlimited SmartScans at no additional cost.
