How It Works (Step-by-Step)
Step 1 – Upload
Upload image or PDF.
Step 2 – AI Extraction
System detects:
- Registration number
- Date
- Time
- Location
- Amount
- Reference number
Step 3 – Booking Match
Matches using:
- Rego
- Date/time overlap
- Active booking window
- Archived bookings (VEVS imports)
If uncertain → manual confirmation required.
Step 4 – Review & Confirm
Operator can:
- Adjust charge amount
- Add notes
- Attach evidence
- Select charge type
Step 5 – Send Payment Request
Creates:
- Post-hire charge
- Stripe PaymentIntent
- Secure hosted pay page
- Email to customer
Smart Safeguards
- Prevents duplicate charges — Won't create the same charge twice
- Won't attach to wrong booking — Matching logic ensures correct association
- Confidence scoring on AI matches — Low-confidence matches require manual confirmation
- Audit log of all actions — Full traceability
- Evidence stored with charge — Everything is linked and retrievable
Customer Experience
