You know the feeling: the end of the month is approaching, the accountant is waiting — and you spend hours hunting for invoices across e-mails, folders, and drawers. With Ensight, that's a thing of the past.
Estimates suggest that small businesses lose on average between €5,000 and €15,000 per year in deductible expenses because receipts are missing or have faded. Ensight captures your receipts automatically as they arrive — by e-mail, via the app, or by drag-and-drop. The AI reads the key data, archives everything in a legally compliant way, and makes it findable in seconds. The result: you're always up to date, your archive is compliant, and the year-end close becomes routine instead of a stress marathon.
Ensight runs entirely in the cloud — GDPR-compliant, with servers in Germany, and without scattering your sensitive business data around the world. Your data belongs to you.
No more last-minute scrambles before the monthly close. Receipts are automatically captured and categorised — whether they arrive by e-mail, photo, or upload.
Ensight archives your receipts in compliance with GoBD (German bookkeeping principles) and reminds you of ongoing retention deadlines. No receipt gets lost — not even the till receipt from last quarter.
All services — cloud, app, and AI analysis — are operated in compliance with GDPR. Servers located in Germany; data processing agreement included.
The most common reason receipts get lost: they're created on the go and never make it into the system. Petrol receipts, restaurant bills, hardware store tickets — things that disappear in a pocket and have to be painstakingly reconstructed weeks later.
With the Ensight mobile app, you photograph a receipt immediately after paying. The app sends it straight to the archive — automatically categorised and tagged with all the relevant data. Available for iOS and Android.
This saves you: the tedious hunt for receipts just before the monthly close, and expensive queries from the tax office because a receipt can no longer be found.
Ensight uses state-of-the-art AI models to automatically read the relevant information from every receipt: merchant name, address, invoice date, due date, total amount, tax rate, tax amount, IBAN, and reference number. This works for scanned PDFs as well as photos or structured e-invoices (ZUGFeRD, XRechnung).
You see the extracted data immediately next to the original, can correct it if necessary, and approve it with a click. The data is then stored in the archive in an audit-proof way — GoBD-compliant and traceable at all times.
Business case: Manual invoice entry takes an average of 20–45 minutes per document. At a wage of €22 per hour, a single invoice costs up to €16 in pure labour — or your own evening. Ensight reduces this to under 2 minutes.
It's a massive, frequently underestimated problem: accounting experts and tax-software providers estimate that micro-businesses and freelancers lose on average €5,000 to €15,000 per year in deductible expenses — because receipts are missing, faded, or simply unfindable. At a tax rate of 30%, this equates to a real net loss of €1,500 to €4,500 that you're simply handing to the state.
A missing receipt costs you in three ways:
| Cost type | Impact |
|---|---|
| Business expense | You can't deduct the amount from your profit and end up paying more income tax. |
| Input VAT | You lose the 19% (or 7%) VAT you would have reclaimed from the tax office. |
| Audit risk | If flat-rate deductions are disallowed during a tax audit due to lack of proof, back-payments and interest charges may follow. |
Estimates suggest that small businesses forfeit 3 to 5% of their potential profit due to incomplete recordkeeping.
The good news: GoBD (German principles of proper bookkeeping) allows the complete digitalisation of receipts. Anyone who scans receipts via an app and documents the procedure may dispose of the original.
Ensight does exactly this — automatically, GoBD-compliant, and without any manual follow-up work.
From 2025, e-invoicing is mandatory in B2B transactions in Germany. That sounds like simplification — but the reality is more complex. Ensight is the component that ensures you don't lose any receipts during the transition.
Until 2028, businesses will be dealing with a mix of formats: ZUGFeRD files, XRechnungen, classic PDFs, and paper receipts. Ensight processes all formats uniformly and brings them together in a single archive — so your bookkeeping stays consistent.
Not everything becomes an e-invoice:
Ensight automates the capture of these exceptions and puts an end to the paper chaos.
An e-invoice is machine-readable — but only through intelligent digitalisation do scanned receipts also become searchable and GoBD-compliantly archived. Ensight extracts dates, amounts, and tax rates automatically, regardless of where the receipt originated.
The e-invoice is the new standard — but Ensight is the interface that ensures no receipt gets lost, whether it arrives as an XML data set or as a photo on your smartphone. Make your bookkeeping future-proof.
