Lido's PDF importer tool allows for quick data extraction from receipts, ensuring that all entries are accurately reflected in a spreadsheet format suitable for processing and analysis. This reduces the administrative burden and minimizes errors associated with manual data entry.

How it works

Copying data from a receipt to a spreadsheet has never been easier with Lido's receipt reader tool. Either draw a box around the section of the receipt data you want to add to your spreadsheet, or copy all of the receipt (including multiple pages) at once to a spreadsheet.
