It is built for business owners, finance teams, and accountants who want to completely forget about invoice management and reclaim hundreds of hours every month.

Inbox Scanning

Tailride monitors your inbox and your colleagues' inboxes continuously, scanning for any invoice or receipt that arrives via email. Whether the document is attached as a PDF, embedded as an image, written in the email body, or hidden behind a URL, Tailride captures it all. This native connection means you never have to forward invoices to random email addresses again, and your emails never leave your inbox, ensuring complete security and control over your financial data.

Retroactive Scanning

When you connect to Tailride, you gain the ability to retroactively search your entire inbox history for past invoices. Choose from predefined ranges such as This Month, This Quarter, This Year, or All Time, or set a custom date range to catch up on any period. This feature is invaluable for end-of-quarter reconciliations or when preparing for tax filings, ensuring no invoice is ever missed and your financial records are always complete and accurate.

Online Portals and Chrome Extension

Tailride includes a sophisticated Chrome extension that allows you to extract invoices from over 20 online platforms with a single click. Whether you need invoices from Amazon, Meta Ads, Notion, ChatGPT, Microsoft, or Adobe, the extension saves you from the tedious process of logging into each portal, finding the invoice, downloading it, and uploading it to your accounting system. This feature alone can save hours of manual work every week, streamlining your entire invoice collection process.

AI Processing and Custom Rules

Tailride employs advanced AI that automatically reads, categorizes, and processes every invoice it captures. You can set customizable rules to match your company's specific needs, such as automatically categorizing expenses by department, project, or cost center. The AI learns from your preferences over time, becoming more accurate and efficient, while the seamless integrations with QuickBooks, Xero, and Google Drive ensure that processed data flows directly into your existing accounting ecosystem without any manual intervention.

End-of-Quarter Invoice Reconciliation

When the end of the quarter arrives and you need to find all missing invoices for tax filings, Tailride becomes absolutely mandatory. Instead of scrambling to ask colleagues to forward invoices or manually searching through thousands of emails, Tailride automatically locates every invoice in your inbox and your team's inboxes. It organizes them by date, vendor, and category, and matches them against bank transactions, ensuring your accountant has everything needed for a smooth, error-free tax filing process.

Employee Expense Management

For companies with multiple employees who incur business expenses, Tailride simplifies the entire process. Employees can simply connect their inboxes or use the Telegram and WhatsApp bot to snap photos of physical receipts. Tailride automatically extracts the data, categorizes the expenses, and forwards them to the appropriate accounting software. This eliminates the need for employees to manually submit expense reports and ensures that all business expenses are captured and accounted for without any administrative burden.

Multi-Platform Invoice Aggregation

Business owners who purchase services and products from multiple online platforms face the tedious task of logging into each portal to download invoices. With Tailride's Chrome extension, users can extract invoices from Amazon, Meta Ads, Notion, ChatGPT, Adobe, and over 20 other platforms with a single click. The platform aggregates all these invoices into a single dashboard, categorizes them automatically, and syncs them with QuickBooks or Xero, providing a complete, unified view of all business expenses.

Accountant Collaboration and Workflow Automation

Accountants managing multiple clients can use Tailride to streamline their entire workflow. By inviting clients to connect their inboxes, accountants gain real-time visibility into all incoming invoices. Tailride automatically processes and categorizes each invoice, forwards relevant documents to Google Drive or accounting software, and reconciles transactions against bank statements. This eliminates the manual data entry and follow-up emails that typically consume hours of an accountant's time, allowing them to focus on higher-value strategic advisory work.

How does Tailride connect to my email inbox without compromising security?

Tailride uses a native, read-only connection to your email inbox, whether you use Gmail, Outlook, or any IMAP-compatible provider. Your emails never leave your inbox; Tailride only scans for invoice-related content and extracts the relevant data. You have full control over what is accessed, and you can revoke access at any time. The platform does not store your emails or share your data with third parties, ensuring complete security and compliance with data protection regulations.

Can Tailride handle physical paper receipts?

Yes, absolutely. Tailride offers a convenient solution for physical receipts through its Telegram and WhatsApp bot. Simply take a picture of your paper receipt and send it to the bot. Tailride's AI will process the image, extract all relevant data such as vendor, date, amount, and category, and add it to your dashboard. You can link as many users as you want, making it easy for employees to submit their physical receipts without any hassle.

Does Tailride work with my existing accounting software?

Tailride seamlessly integrates with all major accounting platforms including QuickBooks, Xero, and Google Drive. Once invoices are extracted and processed, the data flows automatically into your chosen accounting software, eliminating the need for manual data entry. The platform also supports custom integrations and can forward invoices directly to your accountant or to specific folders in Google Drive, ensuring complete compatibility with your existing workflow.

What happens if I have invoices from before I started using Tailride?

Tailride includes a powerful retroactive scanning feature that allows you to search your entire inbox history for past invoices. When you connect your email, you can choose to scan for invoices from This Month, This Quarter, This Year, All Time, or a custom date range. This means you can catch up on all outstanding invoices from previous periods, ensuring your financial records are complete and up to date from the moment you start using the platform.
