If you’re a small business that has to deal with a lot of billable expenses, this might be a great solution for you. Shoeboxed, a company that lets you digitize receipts and business cards, and FreshBooks, which is a web-based way to track time and invoice clients, have made a pretty cool integration between their two systems.
Here’s how it works:
- Mail your receipts off to Shoeboxed
- They scan them and import them into your Shoeboxed account
- From there, you can go to the Export page and export to FreshBooks
- In FreshBooks, create the invoice to your client
All in all, sounds like a pretty cool integration to save time and re-typing. Obviously you need to be a member of both to use this though.
Shoeboxed has put together a video to show how this works.
Very cool use of APIs, and according to the video they are offering a free trial of FreshBooks to check it out. Shoeboxed also has a 30 day free trial.
