Snap and Submit Receipts
Employees photograph receipts on their phone. OCR technology extracts the amount, date, vendor, and VAT automatically. No manual data entry, ever.
Smart Approval Workflows
Route expenses automatically to the right manager based on amount, category, or department. Multi-level approvals with full audit trail built in.
Automatic VAT Reclaim
XRERO separates recoverable and non-recoverable VAT on every expense. Your FTA input tax claims are calculated automatically and ready for your quarterly return.
OCR Extraction Complete
All fields auto-filled. VAT classified. Ready to submit.
From receipt photo to approved expense in minutes
Employees no longer need to collect paper receipts, fill in spreadsheets, or chase approvals by email. XRERO's mobile-first expense capture turns a phone photo into a fully processed, VAT-coded expense record in seconds.
AI-Powered OCR Receipt Scanning
Point your phone at any receipt — Arabic or English. XRERO's OCR engine reads the vendor name, date, amount, and VAT automatically. Works on fuel receipts, restaurant bills, hotel invoices, and all UAE expense types.
Automatic VAT Classification
Every expense is automatically classified as recoverable or non-recoverable VAT based on UAE FTA rules. Your input tax claim is calculated without any manual work from your finance team.
Mileage and Per Diem Tracking
Log business mileage with GPS distance auto-calculation at your company's AED per km rate. Set daily meal and accommodation allowances per employee level — all tracked and reported automatically.
The right approver sees every expense — automatically
Stop expenses sitting in inboxes waiting for approval. XRERO routes every expense report to the correct manager instantly, with full context, policy flags, and one-tap approve or reject on mobile.
Multi-Level Approval Rules
Set approval thresholds by amount, category, or department. Expenses under AED 500 auto-approve. Expenses above AED 5,000 escalate to the CFO automatically — all configurable with no coding needed.
Policy Violation Flags
XRERO automatically flags expenses that exceed category limits, occur on weekends, lack receipts, or fall outside your travel policy — before the approver even opens the report.
Approve from Anywhere
Managers approve or reject expense reports directly from email, WhatsApp notification, or the XRERO mobile app — whether they are in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or traveling internationally.

What UAE Finance Teams Say About XRERO Expense
"Our finance team used to spend two full days every month processing expense reports manually. With XRERO, it takes two hours. The OCR scanning alone saved us hundreds of hours and eliminated all the data entry errors."
Nadia Al-Qassimi
Finance Director, Apex Group Dubai
"The automatic VAT classification on every expense is a game changer. We recovered AED 18,000 in input VAT last quarter that we were previously missing because classification was manual and inconsistent. XRERO paid for itself immediately."
Hassan Al-Zaabi
CFO, Gulf Engineering Solutions
"Our 40-person sales team across 3 UAE emirates now submits expenses from their phones in under 2 minutes. Approvals happen the same day. Reimbursements go out with the monthly WPS payroll. Everyone is happy, especially the salespeople."
Layla Al-Mahmoud
HR Manager, Emirates Trading Co.
