Project Description
Quick Receipts is a collection of services with a simple idea at the core: Archiving your receipts should be quick and painless. We will focus on three main projects:
- A central online service that provides an API (application programming interface) endpoint where merchants and service providers can submit receipt information and customers can retrieve their receipts in a digital format for free. Quick Receipts will archive your receipts for easy use later. No more photocopying!
- Customers who would like to get more information about their spending habits can sign up for our online money management services. We'll analyze your receipt information to show you where your money goes. Business can also sign up for our service to track small business purchases and connect that information easily to accounting software.
- Customers can claim receipts and tracking their spending on the go with our mobile application. Get up-to-the-date information right at the cash register from merchants who provide Quick Receipts.
Project Goals
Our goal is to develop a standardized data format to store receipt information. We hope to provide a useful and easy interface for consumers who need to keep track of their purchases and expenditures quickly and easily.

Analysis
Our Plans
The vision is to develop and provide support for a digital receipt format provided through our web service. We eventually want to expand this project to embrace the possibility of providing data mining services and trending.
Risks
Some of our risks include:
Minor | Moderate | Major | Severe | Certain |
---|---|---|---|---|
Likely | Store Implementation Difficult | |||
Possible | Small Stores Only | Banks offer same service | Customers Not Excited | |
Unlikely | Storefronts refuse to send info | |||
Rare |
If we are able to account for these risks, and reduce them as much as possible, QuickReceipts should, ultimately, succeed as a product.
