Why Teams Outgrow Manual Receipt Processing

Manual work doesn't scale.

Your team reads receipts one by one, matching products, checking quantities, verifying merchants. Different stores, different formats, some handwritten, some printed. Delays grow. Errors compound. Headcount rises.

Basic scanning only gets you halfway.

Standard OCR reads text off a receipt, but someone still has to check whether the right product was purchased, whether the store is authorized, whether the spend qualifies.

Fraud hides in plain sight.

Receipt fraud can include AI-generated fakes, duplicate submissions and tampered receipts. One client found 40% of submissions were fraudulent, and had no idea until automated detection was in place.

"We quickly identified and prevented suspicious activity. Taggun has been a responsive, collaborative innovation partner."

What TAGGUN Does

Three Layers, One API Call

Accurate Extraction Across Supported Receipts

The TAGGUN receipt OCR API extracts line items, merchant name, store address, date and payment method across supported receipt formats and 205 languages. Merchant Intelligence standardises merchant names and can enrich addresses when a usable match is found. Campaign product matching recognises brand and product-name variations, including abbreviations such as “COCA-COLA,” “CC 330ML” and “COKE ZERO CAN.”

Purchase Verification Against Your Rules

Once data is extracted, TAGGUN checks it against your criteria:

  • Right product? Match by brand, product name, SKU, or product code, even when receipts abbreviate or format names differently across retailers.
  • Right store? Verify against authorized merchants, by name only or down to a specific location.
  • Right amount? Extract receipt totals and line-item unit prices to support your campaign workflow, and check minimum quantities.
  • Right dates? Enforce campaign windows or program periods automatically. Most requests complete in a few seconds; receipt length, file size and enabled checks affect processing time.

Fraud Detection You Didn't Know You Needed

Taggun detects duplicate and near-duplicate receipts, template-based fakes that replicate real retailer formats, and AI-generated receipts. It analyses supported submissions for digital tampering signals, including changes to visible transaction values. We see fraud patterns across loyalty programs worldwide. When a new technique appears in one market, we update detection globally.

Taggun processing time varies by document and enabled checks. Your platform can trigger rewards from the validation response; fulfilment timing and review staffing depend on your workflow.

Workflow automation

Built for the full receipt-to-reward workflow

Example campaign workflow powered by Taggun receipt data and fraud signals. Taggun returns extraction, rule-check and fraud results in the same response. Your platform uses them to approve, reject or route submissions to review.

  1. 01

    Auto-approve high-confidence receipts

    Your platform can approve eligible submissions and trigger rewards or rebates from Taggun’s validation response. Use extracted purchase data in your registration or warranty workflow. 90% of receipts are automatically approved, with 10% routed for review.

  2. 02

    Route ambiguous cases for review

    Your platform routes receipts that need a second look to your review process. You can add an AI-assisted second pass or human review using the extracted receipt data, rule-check results and fraud signals.

  3. 03

    Close the loop with the customer

    Your platform triggers rewards and explains actionable failures, such as an unreadable image or ineligible purchase, so customers can correct and resubmit. Keep fraud signals internal and use neutral customer messaging. Fulfilment timing depends on your workflow.

  4. 04

    Keep audit oversight without the manual load

    Build quality-control sampling, manual review and an audit trail into your platform. Taggun is built for high-volume receipt processing, with your team handling the review cases your workflow requires.
