Invoice scanner for contractors
Capture supplier invoices before they disappear between the job site and office.
Send a readable material or supplier invoice photo through connected Telegram, or upload its PDF from the dashboard. InvoSort prepares available document details for review without claiming job costing, project assignment, or payment approval.
Job-site capture
Save the document, not a project ledger.

A field-ready checklist
Capture the supplier document while the details are still readable.
A short photo routine helps protect the source before it is folded, misplaced, or separated from the rest of the day’s paperwork.
- Step 1
Before leaving the counter
Photograph the complete supplier document while it is still available, with every edge inside the frame.
- Step 2
Before sending
Check that vendor details, dates, and totals are not hidden by glare, folds, shadows, or motion blur.
- Step 3
After processing
Open the record, compare important fields with the source, and edit the category if a different business classification is needed.
Example workflow
A lumber supplier invoice moves from the counter to later review.
A contractor photographs the complete invoice through connected Telegram. Later, they review the available vendor, invoice number, date, total, category, type, and source file in InvoSort. The record is not automatically assigned to a job or matched with a purchase order.
Keep operational decisions separate
The scan starts the review; it does not finish the payable workflow.
Someone still needs to decide whether the invoice is expected, correctly priced, approved, assigned, and ready for payment. InvoSort keeps those decisions outside its document-processing scope.
Review the processing stagesContractor questions
Know what job-site invoice capture does—and what it leaves alone.
The workflow supports supplier-document intake and review without promising job costing, matching, approval, or payment functions.
Can I photograph a supplier invoice at a job site?
Yes. After connecting Telegram, you can send a readable photo or supported PDF, PNG, JPG, or JPEG file up to 20 MB to InvoSortBot. The dashboard itself accepts valid PDF uploads up to 20 MB.
Does InvoSort assign invoices to jobs or cost codes?
No. The current product does not provide job, project, or cost-code assignment. It prepares received-document records with available fields for review in recent, source, and current-year month views.
Can InvoSort match an invoice to a purchase order?
No purchase-order matching workflow is offered. If a document is classified as a purchase order, that document type does not mean InvoSort reconciles it with an invoice or delivery record.
Does the contractor workflow approve or pay supplier invoices?
No. InvoSort supports received-file intake, a structured first pass, source review, and organization. Approval decisions and supplier payments stay outside the product.
How should I check a photographed material invoice?
Make sure the complete document is readable, then compare vendor, invoice number, date, amount, currency, category, type, and other important details with the stored source. Extraction can be incomplete or incorrect.
