At a glance
Tailride monitors Gmail, Outlook and IMAP inboxes for invoices, collects them from web portals through a browser extension or a desktop app, and takes paper receipts by mobile scan or a WhatsApp or Telegram bot. It matches bank statements to invoices and exports to a long list of accounting tools, including DATEV, sevDesk, Lexware Office and Holded.

Syncing to your accounting system
None of this needs a big-bang cutover. Most teams run both tools for one cycle and compare capture rates before switching anyone off.
Email receipt capture reads Gmail, Outlook, Zoho Mail or IMAP, including Spam and Archive.
Bill fetching signs in to the portals your invoices sit behind and pulls each new one.
Card feeds match each document to its purchase, and coded entries sync to QuickBooks, Xero or your ERP.
Compare how many documents each tool found for the same month before switching anything off.
