This app lets you scan and organize receipts with a bit more detail.

One way small business owners kill their productivity is by using the wrong tool for the job. They keep using their pen and notebook when they should be using a tool like Evernote to trap and record their ideas. They waste time manually entering receipts into QuickBooks instead of using something like Shoeboxed that can quickly handle their accounting for them. As a small business owner, it’s worth it to spend some time finding the tools that you need to better run your business. Don’t try to hack a tool to do something it’s not supposed to do. We live in an economy where it’s pretty easy to find free, online productivity tools. Don’t be afraid to use them.— Lisa Barone · September 23, 2010

Organizing purchase receipts is just one example of the hassle-filled bookkeeping tasks everyone is stuck with. Creating an online application to smooth out the process is the digital age’s version of the proverbial better mousetrap.— September 29, 2007
Taylor Mingos has introduced shoeboxed.com, a Web site that helps users archive receipts and filter out spam e-mail messages from companies they once patronized. “I want to eliminate paper receipts entirely,” he said. “I saw my mom collect literally shoeboxes full of receipts.

This service will provide you with an email address that you can provide to online stores when you purchase items or sign up for newsletters. Shoeboxed will then automatically organize all of your online receipts, updates, newsletters, etc. There’s also a spam filter to keep those pesky emails away. Another helpful aspect of Shoeboxed is the list of categorized stores that you can choose from when making and managing your account. Seems like a great way to keep your personal email box a little bit neater.— Kristen Nicole · August 2, 2007
