Deduce: AI receipt OCR for Odoo that recovers the VAT you're losing
A till receipt without your VAT number can't be used to reclaim the VAT. Deduce reads it with AI the moment you snap it, warns you when to ask for a full invoice, and posts the expense in Odoo. You just take the photo and review.

What it does
AI/OCR capture of invoices, receipts and expense tickets (photo, PDF, email). Reads them, tells you if the VAT is deductible in 10 EU countries, and posts vendor bills or employee expenses. 100% Odoo Community, your own Groq key or keyless local OCR - no external service.
- Stop losing the VAT on receiptsA simplified till receipt without your VAT number can't be used to reclaim the input VAT. Deduce flags it with a traffic light at capture time and tells you exactly what to do: ask for a full invoice with your VAT number before you leave the shop.
- Zero typing: the AI reads, you reviewSnap a photo, upload a PDF or forward the receipt by email. The AI fills in the vendor, VAT number, date, net amount, tax and total. You just review and confirm - no keying in numbers by hand.
- Your own AI, or keyless, on your serverPlug in your free Groq key for the best accuracy, or use the keyless local OCR (Tesseract), which sends nothing outside your server. If the AI ever fails, a local parser still extracts the data, so a capture never gets stuck.
- Vendor bill or employee expenseEvery capture is posted straight into Odoo as a vendor bill or as an employee expense (reimbursable or company card), with the tax already matched and ready to reconcile.
- 10 countries, each with its own VAT rulesReal VAT-number validators for each country and their EU equivalents (with check digits), plus deductibility rules specific to each: Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Ireland and Luxembourg.
- A cockpit built for accountantsA multi-client cockpit: recoverable VAT at risk, review queue, validated-not-posted, duplicates, a quarterly VAT preparation view and bulk actions. Verify the quarter to file clean and close the month earlier.
