Show HN: Auto-Match – How We Built Receipt-to-Transaction Matching (Open Source)
midday.aiI’ve been working on automating bookkeeping tasks, and one big pain point was manually reconciling receipts with bank transactions. We built a system that runs in the background, parses receipts (including Gmail), suggests matches, and learns from confirmations to auto-match over time.
It's built into Midday and fully open-source.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Great write up. I worked at a payment processor awhile back, so I really appreciate the complexity of the problem you're tackling.
How are you doing the legal entity resolution? In your example - connecting "AMZN" to "Amazon.com, Inc."
We happen to be solely working on this problem, as it's ridiculously complicated by itself from an global perspective. We're still in stealth and preparing to share something ourselves on HN shortly, but just curious how you're approaching it since your pipeline is already doing a ton.
I know this problem space well. A company I worked for over 10 years ago had a data feed from National Australia Bank (NAB) and matching, categorising and geolocating transactions was an almost daily chore. I would hope by now they're employing something similar to the methodology discussed here.
Interesting write up, thanks for sharing.
I desperately want reconciliation available with an integration for Sevdesk. Any plans?
Awesome!
I'm still patiently waiting for the seft-hosting docs.
Cool bro I would definitely like to use midday
