Worthy Expense
By Ian Mount

(FORTUNE Small Business) – Like cleaning out a litter box, creating an expense report is a stinky chore that ought to be automated. Digital Business Processes, based in Philadelphia, has met that challenge with NeatReceipts, a scanner-and-software package that scans your receipts and turns the data into spreadsheets that you can then pour into your accounting program of choice. It's bound to make traveling salesmen rejoice, but the less receipt-burdened might consider whether, at $250, NeatReceipts, like a litter-cleaning robot, is a little too pricey. --IAN MOUNT
