Epson Scanning Solutions Help Small Businesses Get Ready for Tax Season with AI

Epson RapidReceipt Scanners Set up Small Offices for Success
Turning Documents into Smart Digital Assets for AI Workflows

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. , March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As artificial intelligence (AI) evolves and becomes integral to everyday workflows, businesses must invest in tools that seamlessly integrate with AI technologies to stay competitive, enhance productivity, and future-proof operations. As tax season approaches, Epson, the best-selling retail scanner brand in North America,1 is supporting small businesses looking to upgrade technology with promotional prices on its RapidReceipt® series of dedicated business scanners, designed specifically to quickly scan, process, and organize financial documents and receipts into useful, AI-ready digital data.

Epson RapidReceipt Scanners Turn Financial Documents and Receipts into Smart Digital Assets to Support AI Workflows.

"As businesses plan for the fiscal year and prepare for tax season, making strategic investments to improve workflow is key. To fully take advantage of AI, it's essential to digitize all data – a task that requires accurate scanning," said Carrie Fox, director, Scanners, Consumables and Retail Channel Marketing, Epson America. "RapidReceipt scanners with ScanSmart AI PRO technology enable businesses to maximize efficiency by streamlining the digitizing process and harnessing the power of AI for everyday workflows."

The line of RapidReceipt scanners are high-performance, innovative solutions engineered to seamlessly tackle the increasing number of receipts and invoices that need to be organized and referenced. Driven by Epson ScanSmart®AI PRO technology2, RapidReceipt scanners go beyond simple document capture, quickly and accurately converting scanned information into smart digital data – making documents AI-ready for the future of Microsoft® Copilot, Apple® Intelligence, and ChatGPT workflows, and future-proofing the management of proprietary data. Unique to Epson's RapidReceipt scanners, the included receipt management software automatically extracts and categorizes receipts and invoices, which can then be exported to popular financial software like TurboTax® and QuickBooks®3. Featuring TrueFeed™ Technology, RapidReceipt scanners offer an advanced paper feed mechanism that reliably scans stacks of papers, receipts and invoices, regardless of size, efficiently with no interruption. Coupled with HyperClear™ Technology, delivering unparalleled optics, documents scanned with RapidReceipt are clear, sharp, high-quality and readily usable by AI assistants.

"Using a dedicated scanner with AI OCR integration capabilities can help small businesses save time searching and organizing data, which is especially important during tax time. Imagine telling the AI assistant to 'consolidate all my business receipts for Q1 and send them to my accountant,' or 'tell me how much I spent at the office supply store in 2024.' It could potentially save hours of research and work," said Fox.
