Cornwall-based software startup, PixieBooks, has launch a groundbreaking product which is an AI-powered receipt processing service that allows users to process expense receipts by sending a picture on WhatsApp or email.

Designed and built by a team of software engineers and finance professionals in Redruth, PixieBooks allows its users to submit a receipt in seconds. Based on trials with local accountancy firms, it’s estimated that PixieBooks could save the average business several hours per week in manual data entry.

PixieBooks uses AI to read receipts sent via WhatsApp and then quickly extracts and categorises key data including VAT rates, nominal codes, and currencies. This information is then automatically uploaded into the user’s accounting software.

The launch of PixieBooks marks the latest addition to Cornwall’s expanding tech sector.

Over the past decade, the region has seen a wave of innovative startups and digital enterprises choosing to base themselves in the South West, supported by strong community networks, initiatives like Tech Cornwall, and a lifestyle that fosters creativity and collaboration.
