The FinTech company fino continues its growth course with its investment in techreach GmbH. techreach is a start-up company that has developed an app for digital receipts with anybill. With the obligation to issue receipts since the beginning of 2020, this solution is up to date. Because with anybill, retailers, restaurants, gas stations and other companies can digitally transfer receipts to their customers' smartphones. This makes environmentally harmful printing on thermal paper unnecessary. Customers, in turn, benefit from anybill by being able to conveniently manage all receipts with their smartphones.

Since January 1, 2020, there has been an obligation to issue receipts in Germany. This means that every customer must be issued a receipt. To prevent companies from printing out receipts and thus avoid additional environmental pollution or unnecessary piles of waste, they have the option of handing over the receipts digitally to the customer. It is precisely this possibility that becomes a reality with anybill. All the customer has to do is download the free app from the App Store or Google Play. A QR code is displayed in the anybill app. This is scanned at the cash register and thus the receipts are digitally transmitted to the customer.

Rethinking customer loyalty

anybill offers numerous advantages for both companies and users. For example, retailers can create their own digital bonus system and reward customers for their loyalty. The user can see their points balance in the app at any time and which rewards they can redeem their points with. With anybill, it is also possible to provide information about suitable offers or upcoming events and thus increase customer loyalty.

Overview of all documents

With anybill, users can automatically save all receipts at a central location. If a shop does not yet support anybill, the user can simply add receipts using the photo function in the app. They can be quickly retrieved using the search function, for example in the event of an exchange or warranty service. In addition, the user benefits from other features such as the integrated expenditure manager or a warranty tracker.

anybill in conjunction with GetMyInvoices

anybill also has a connection to fino's invoice management solution GetMyInvoices. This has the advantage that companies can export catering, tank and other business-relevant documents directly from anybill to GetMyInvoices. GetMyInvoices, in turn, includes interfaces to numerous accounting programs and document management systems, which allows invoices received with anybill to be forwarded directly to these solutions. The OCR integrated in GetMyInvoices reads out all relevant data, making manual typing unnecessary.

“anybill is a solution that excellently expands our product portfolio in the area of digital invoice management,” says Björn Kahle, COO of fino and explains: “This is because anybill makes it possible to receive receipts and receipts digitally and forward them to GetMyInvoices without media disruption. In this way, we have closed a gap for holistic digital invoice management. ”

Lea Frank, founder and managing director of anybill, adds: “fino is exactly the right partner for us. The company focuses on innovative products that people expect in a digital age. And anybill is exactly such a product, which, in conjunction with GetMyInvoices, offers additional added value. ”
