Certify

Certify helps business travelers easily track expenses on the go. Employees can take a photo of a receipt using their smartphone or camera-enabled tablet. They can even snap a picture of the parking meter or the bellman holding the tip they just paid him, and Certify will turn it into an electronic receipt.
