The Materials You Can't Track Are the Margin You're Losing

For most contractors, materials represent 30–60% of job costs. When material receipts aren't captured accurately — left in the truck, forgotten at the supply house, or just not entered anywhere — those costs disappear from your records while your revenue doesn't. TradepilotUSA's receipt OCR closes that gap automatically.

The Problems This Solves

!

Supply runs during a job are never fully documented — costs are estimated rather than captured

!

Material receipts from multiple supply trips make manual data entry impractical mid-job

!

Without accurate material costs per job, pricing is based on gut feel rather than actual margin data

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I upload receipts after the job is finished if I forgot during?

Yes. Receipts can be uploaded any time and linked retroactively to completed job records.

What if the receipt photo is blurry or partially obscured?

Receipt OCR works best on clear photos — retake if the image is unclear. Manual entry is available as backup.

Can I see which material categories are eating the most margin?

Yes. Materials catalog shows spend by category — identify where costs are highest.

Can I use this for non-material business expenses too?

Yes. Any business expense receipt — fuel, tools, equipment — can be uploaded and categorized.
