I’m so excited about today’s giveaway!

!

I mean REALLY REALLY excited!

You see, I’ve wanted a NeatReceipts for almost three years. I coveted them every time I visited an office supply store. I searched on Ebay and Craigslist but no one was getting rid of them because they are so amazing. I even dreamed about how organized my papers, receipts, business cards, and other documents would be if I had my very own NeatReceipts.

So you can image how excited I was when The Neat Company offered to send me my very own NeatReceipts!

And because I love my NeatReceipts so much, The Neat Company has generously offered to give another NeatReceitps away to one lucky Simple Organized Living reader!!

What is a NeatReceipts?

?

Only the best, most wonderful, awesome, super cool digital filing system ever!

NeatReceipts is a portable scanner and digital filing system that helps you manage all of your paperwork on the computer. NeatReceipts includes NeatWorks scanner software that identifies and extracts the important information from receipts, business cards and documents and automatically organizes it for you.  All scanned documents can be searched by keyword so you can find exactly what you need. NeatWorks software gives you an easy-to-use, intuitive application to manage all of your business and personal paperwork.

I could go on and on about all the cool featuers and the many reason I LOVE my NeatReceipts, but then we’d all be here for way too long.

So instead, you can watch the video below:

See, I told you it’s amazing!

It’s actually even better than I imagined it to be.

 

A Few of my Favorite Features:

:

1. It’s small.

It’s about the same size as a ruler and weighs less than a pound which means I can  carry it around wherever I go.

2. It’s smart.

The NeatWorks software takes each item you scan in and looks for key information.

For example,  if you scan in a receipt, it will automatically look for the date, vendor, purchase amount, and sales tax.  On business cards, it looks for the name, company, title, address, phone, email, website, and fax.  On other documents, the software captures all of the printed text and gives it to you in searchable PDF format.

This means it will be really easy to find everything you need by performing a basic keyword search.

3. It’s simple.

I obviously love simplicity, so I was thrilled to find how simple it was to install and use my NeatReceipts. Seriously, I had it up and running in about 10 minutes!

And the NeatWorks software allows me quickly and easily organize all my receipts, business cards, and other documents right from my desktop. It doesn’t get much simpler than that.

4. It’s stylish.

I usually don’t like anything sitting out on my desk, but the NeatReceipt is really sleek and stylish so I really don’t mind. Plus, I use it all the time so it’s more practical to leave it out.

5. It’s sophisticated.

The NeatReceipts organizes all my business receipts and information in such a way that I can simply print out an attractive PDF report and give it to my accountant when tax season rolls around. The reports look so professional.

I’m also using the NeatReceipts for all Dave and my personal paperwork {and my recipes} —  it has totally saved my butt a couple times when I “accidentally” threw away an important receipt! And now I can simply search for old recipes with key-words…so quick and easy.

 

Oh yeah, and I also love it because it allows me to get rid of nearly every piece of paper in my filing cabinet! My goal is to be completely paperless by 2012. {we’ll there will be a few things I’ll have to keep…but still!}
