Product and receipt understanding
Pull SKUs, quantities, and costs straight from supplier receipts and invoices, so job costing stops depending on manual entry.
Overview
Supplier paperwork is where accurate job costs go to die, line items get keyed in wrong or skipped entirely. Thorbis is exploring receipt understanding that reads supplier invoices and receipts and extracts the SKUs, quantities, and costs automatically. The goal is to tie real material costs back to the job with far less hand entry, so your margins reflect what you actually spent.
What we're building
Supplier paperwork is where accurate job costs go to die. Line items get keyed in wrong, or skipped entirely when things get busy, so the cost on the job never matches what you actually paid, and your margins look better on paper than in the bank.
Thorbis is exploring receipt understanding that reads supplier invoices and receipts and extracts the SKUs, quantities, and costs automatically, including scanned or photographed paperwork. Extracted line items match back to the right job, so real material costs land where they belong with far less hand entry. It is being weighed for contractors who want job-level margins that reflect what they truly spent, not what someone had time to type in.
