“I have not yet begun to fight”
I hate receipts. They fill up my wallet, making it big and bulky. They line the bottom of my purse, and they are never where I need them on the rare occasion when I need to return something. And don’t even get me started on the receipt mess I need to deal with for expense reports.
So this Independence Day, I send out the call to patriots and technologists alike: help me declare independence from receipts. All I will need is an effective mobile solution that captures, stores and organizes my receipts electronically, with a few small enhancements that allow me to export the receipts for expense reports and show them on screen to skeptical sales clerks.
Ask the Industry: What payments instrument will you “declare independence from” this year?
It’s not much to ask and would be so liberating. Perhaps not “give me liberty or give me death” type liberation but certainly something to think about this Independence Day.
