Job receipts, sorted at the counter.

Plumber, electrician, builder, handyman — the slips end up crumpled in the van, the toolbox, the work pants. Snap each one at the merchant's counter on WhatsApp and SlipStack files it to your own Google Drive and tallies your spend. Materials, fuel, tools, all with VAT ready for SARS. No book-keeping at night.

Built for the tools, not the desk

Stop losing slips between jobs

A lost receipt is VAT you can't claim and a cost you can't account for. SlipStack catches every one the moment you pay, so nothing slips through.

Snap at the till

Pay, photograph, done. The slip's captured before it ever hits the dashboard of the van.

See your margins

Know what materials, fuel and tools cost you each month — so your quotes cover what the job actually costs.

Claim every cent of VAT

Built for SA receipts, input VAT tallied as you go. No more leaving money on the table at tax time.

Three steps. Nothing to install.

  • Snap the slip — materials, fuel, tools, hire.
  • Send it to SlipStack on WhatsApp.

A real complication

Which job did that R840 of copper go to?

A week on the tools means four merchant runs across three jobs. The slips end up in the bakkie, the toolbox and a jacket pocket, and by the time you quote the next job you are guessing what the last one actually cost you.

Snap each slip at the counter and add the job name in the same WhatsApp message. SlipStack files the original, splits the VAT, and tags the spend to that job — so materials per job is a number you can read, not a number you reconstruct.

Questions

Good to know

Can I capture receipts on a job site?

Yes. Snap the slip at the merchant's counter or on site and send it to SlipStack on WhatsApp. It works wherever you have signal, and queues to send when you don't.

Can I see what materials are costing me per month?

Yes. SlipStack adds up your spend by supplier and month in a live Google Sheet dashboard, so you can see what materials, fuel and tools are costing you.

Do I need accounting software?

No. Everything is filed to your own Google Drive and tracked in a Google Sheet you own. If you use Xero or Sage you can post to it as well, but it's optional. More on running without software →

Does it handle VAT for SARS?

Yes. SlipStack is built for South African receipts and tallies your claimable input VAT as you go, ready for SARS or your bookkeeper.
