Ready to know your project's profitability instantly? Smart contractors use these insights to stay ahead.

Imagine this: You’re on-site, talking to a vendor, and you ask yourself, “How much have I spent on lumber for this job?”

Now what?

  • You open a clunky spreadsheet and start filtering rows.
  • You scroll through a folder of receipts on your desk.
  • You text your bookkeeper and hope they respond as soon as possible.

For most contractors, accessing their own financial data is a slow, inefficient process that costs them valuable time and delays critical decisions.

The Real Problem: You Have the Data, But Can’t Use It Fast Enough

Contractors spend hours logging every receipt and invoice, yet they can’t answer a simple financial question without digging through files and spreadsheets. The data exists, but the current system provides zero intelligence.

  • 🧱 The data’s there.
  • 🔍 But never at your fingertips when it counts.

Where It Breaks Down

The pain points are clear.

🧾 Receipt Chaos
Maybe you took a photo at the counter, but is it named, tagged, or linked to a project? Weeks later, it’s just another image in your gallery, or worse, gone entirely.

📥Disconnected Records
Receipts live in Drive. Spreadsheets somewhere else. Your ledger? Maybe updated, maybe not. No wonder it takes hours to pull one simple financial insight.

⏳No Real-Time Answers
Even with everything logged, you can’t ask your spreadsheet, “How much did I spend on framing from January to March?” Your bookkeeper can, but not instantly.

Emendo’s AI Bookkeeper Fixes This Entire Chain

With EmendoAI, every receipt you capture is instantly scanned and digitally read by the AI Bookkeeper. The system extracts the correct details, automatically logs them into your Ledger, and makes them instantly searchable.

So when you ask:

  • “What did I pay Sherwin-Williams in June?”
  • “How much did I spend on HVAC across this project?”
  • “Show me my top 3 expenses last month”

…you get an answer in seconds. No waiting. No formatting. Just answers.

How AI Bookkeeping Works

Just snap a photo from your phone or upload an image/PDF. EmendoAI auto-crops and enhances the image, reads vendor, date, amount, and line items, then logs it into your project Ledger where it becomes instantly searchable.

It’s like having a bookkeeper watching over your shoulder; one who never forgets a thing.

Real Scenarios, Now Instantly Solvable:

  • At the counter: Capture and log a receipt in under 5 seconds
  • Client meeting: Confirm if a payment has cleared before promising delivery
  • Monthly planning: Ask “Which material saw the highest spend this month?”

Traditional bookkeeping is passive; you store receipts for someone else to review later. EmendoAI flips the model. Every scanned receipt becomes real-time intelligence. No more inbox searching. No more file-naming stress. No more spreadsheet anxiety.

Looking Ahead: From Questions to Dashboards

Soon, your queries will generate on-demand visuals. Want to compare material vs. labor costs across three projects? Or track plumbing spend trends over six months? With EmendoAI, charts and insights appear instantly, no manual dashboard setup required.

From Hours to Seconds, Contractors Are Already Making the Switch

"I snap receipts, and the AI handles the rest. I can now search for any vendor in any project, and see exactly where my money's going, without touching a spreadsheet."
Jorden D., General Contractor, San Jose
