Receipt Manager
-
Receipt manager is a system to track purchase receipts for the
purpose of indexing inventory and supplier data.
Other
applications include financial tracking, expense reporting, pantry
management, shopping and resupply management, crowdsourcing,
bargain hunting, etc. Our main application is for pantry
management and resupply.
Our intention is to use OCR and custom
parsers to extract product information, and synchronize it with
scanned barcodes.
The process should be no more difficult than a
self-checkout at a grocery store.
Then the updated inventory will
be made available to the meal planning system.
And the supplier
information will be useful for when it comes time to reorder
products.
