Why Scan Invoices to QuickBooks?
Paper invoices still arrive despite digital transformation—from vendors who mail statements, deliveries with printed receipts, or legacy suppliers without electronic invoicing. Manually entering this data into QuickBooks consumes hours of bookkeeping time and introduces errors.
Scanning invoices to QuickBooks eliminates manual data entry. Use any scanner or smartphone camera to digitize paper invoices. Zera Books extracts all invoice fields using AI-powered OCR—vendor names, invoice numbers, line items with quantities and prices, tax amounts, and totals.
The extracted data exports directly to QuickBooks Online or Desktop. No manual column mapping, no retyping amounts, no GL coding from scratch. Just upload, extract, and import.
The paper invoice problem: Vendors send invoices as PDFs, scanned documents, or physical mail. Each one requires manual review, data entry into QuickBooks, account coding, and approval. For small businesses processing 50+ invoices monthly, this consumes hours every week.
What Zera Books solves:
- Scan invoices with any device—desktop scanner, phone camera, document feeder
- AI extracts all invoice fields with 99.6% accuracy
- Capture complete line items—descriptions, quantities, prices, amounts
- Auto-categorize to your QuickBooks chart of accounts
- Export directly to QuickBooks Online or Desktop (IIF/QBO files)
