Receipts Then and Now: The changing trends of storing and organizing spending software
The digital, paperless, and cloud terms dominate the financial technology sphere right now. It is no secret that items are becoming more and more online. This is beneficial for many reasons. One I would like to focus on today narrows in on digital receipts, what this technology’s future looks like, and why you’d want to become acquainted with this process sooner rather than later. Let’s dive in.
Digital receipts are not uncommon in retail stores. Places like Apple have embraced digital transactions long ago. the connectivity between their point-of-sale (POS) and your email is already so intertwined that its process is a no-brainer. However, only some stores are Apple. An abundance of retail purchases we make still offers that small, hot piece of paper we either ignore or throw in the recycling later. This is a huge waste of paper, time, etc.
Other stores feature a device that allows us to send receipts to our email, but there are drawbacks to this, too; emails get lost in our inbox, which in the grand stream of things, are pretty easy to overlook. Not to mention the time it takes to type our email into the iPad sitting at the front counter. While email receipts are a great alternative to paper, they still mark a difficult transition. They are hard to track and organize.
In the future, we know digital receipts will be extremely accessible and easy to manage. It is predicted that every receipt will be digital. We will be able to track every purchase we make, categorize them, and store and archive them in efficient ways beneficial to both buyer and seller. Before that time, we must find a solution to this molasses-like receipt economy that benefits us, our time, and most importantly, our spending. Consolidation is the key to organization.
