Why We're Building ExtractEz — and How It Will End Receipt & Lead Chaos

Receipts everywhere, business cards nowhere. Here's the problem we keep running into and the product we're shipping to fix it.

The everyday mess we keep seeing

Ask any founder, finance lead, or road-warrior salesperson what clogs their workflow and you'll hear the same two groans:

  1. Receipts & invoices everywhere – crumpled in pockets, buried in inboxes, lost in Slack threads.
  2. Business cards that vanish – collected at events, then forgotten before they ever touch a CRM.

The fallout is predictable: finance scrambles before month-end close, sales loses context on hot leads, and nobody owns a single, trusted source of truth.


Why existing tools miss the mark

Most solutions fit one of two buckets:

BucketMissing piece
Expense trackersStop the moment a reimbursement is filed.
Card scannersIgnore finance workflows and approvals completely.

In real life, the same rep who submits a lunch receipt is also grabbing that prospect's card. Splitting the flow means more log-ins, more spreadsheets, more human error.


What ExtractEz will do (v1)

We're building a light platform that:

  1. Captures once – drag-and-drop PDFs, snap a photo, or simply forward the email.
  2. Reads every field automatically – vendor, date, currency, line items, contact info in 60 + languages.
  3. Converts FX on the fly – everything rolls up in your base currency, no mental math.
  4. Routes for one-click approval – managers hit ✅ or ❌; no email ping-pong.
  5. Drops clean data where you work – Google Sheets, Zoho Books, Salesforce to start.
  6. Plays nice with your stack – no "rip-and-replace" migration required.

Where we are right now

  • Clickable mock-ups ✅
  • Extraction engine running in a private sandbox ✅
  • Collecting real-world feedback before we polish code

How you can steer the roadmap

Over the next few weeks we'll:

  1. Open a small early-access list (free during validation).
  2. Share build updates & short demo clips on LinkedIn/X.
  3. Hop on 15-min calls with anyone willing to show their current shoebox pain.

If you want first dibs—or just a peek behind the curtain—join the list below. No credit card, no spam; just occasional progress notes and the chance to say "Could you make it do this?"
