I run a small ecommerce shop and, until recently, spent way too many evenings copy-pasting supplier invoices into Excel so my books stayed clean and my expense tracking was granular. It finally hit me that I’d rather invest that time in code than in Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V, so I built ParsePoint.app.

Why I built it • Manual invoice entry was swallowing 4 hours every month. • Accounting software APIs felt heavyweight for my use-case; I really just wanted clean rows in a spreadsheet. • I love tinkering with AI models and needed an excuse to spin one up in production.

What it does 1. Upload a PDF (or forward an email). 2. ParsePoint’s AI OCR extracts line-items, amounts, tax, dates, etc. 3. Download a ready-to-pivot Excel/CSV file or hit the API to drop the data wherever you like.

Under the hood • Frontend: React • API: .NET 8, PostgreSQL • AI layer: an open-source VLLM model fine-tuned for document layouts

Outcome so far • My own workload: from 4 hours/month to less than 10 minutes. • Early beta testers (other solo-store owners) report similar time savings and fewer bookkeeping errors. • The pay-as-you-go credit system means no subscriptions or lock-ins—use it only when you need it.

I’d love feedback on the tech approach, pricing model, or anything that looks off. All comments welcome, and I’m here to answer every question.

Thanks for reading! Marcin – maker of ParsePoint.app
