Ditch the Shoebox: Organize Your Receipts Effortlessly with GraceBlocks




Tired of digging through piles of crumpled receipts come tax time? Misplaced a crucial expense record for your business? You're not alone. Keeping track of receipts is a universal pain point, but it doesn't have to be.

The GraceBlocks Solution: Your Digital Receipt Vault

GraceBlocks, the versatile no-code platform designed for modern businesses, offers a surprisingly simple yet powerful solution for managing receipts. It's like upgrading your shoebox to a secure, searchable, and always-accessible digital filing cabinet.

Here's how it works:

  1. Create Your "Receipts" Table: In just a few clicks, set up a custom table within GraceBlocks. Include fields like:

    • Date: To easily find receipts from a specific time period.
    • Vendor: Who you paid.
    • Amount: To track your spending.
    • Category: (Optional) For easy categorization of expenses (e.g., Office Supplies, Meals & Entertainment).
    • Description: Add notes for context (e.g., "Repair for leaky pipe").
    • Attachment: This is where the magic happens – you'll upload a photo of your receipt.
  2. Snap and Save with Your Phone: Using the GraceBlocks mobile app (available for iOS and Android), simply take a photo of your receipt as soon as you get it. The app will automatically upload the image and create a new record in your "Receipts" table.

  3. Search and Find in Seconds: GraceBlocks makes it easy to search for specific receipts. Need that plumber's bill from last month? Just type in the vendor name or date range.

Okay, let’s talk onboarding. You know, that magical process that turns a nervous newbie into a productive, engaged member of your team?

A New Chapter: Empowering SMB HR Teams with the HR Agility Toolkit

Hey everyone, Mike here. Some of you might know me from my BrassRing days, or perhaps from my time building and leading SmashFly. For over two decades, I've been knee-deep in the world of HR technology, always striving to build solutions that truly make a difference for HR professionals. These days, my focus is on GraceBlocks, a no-code platform I co-founded because I saw a real need for something different. But more on that in a bit. Today, I want to talk about a shift in focus for this blog, "The HR Agility Toolkit." We're going to be doubling down on what matters most: empowering small and medium-sized business (SMB) HR teams – specifically, those of you working in companies with up to 200 employees. Why the change? Because over the past few years, as we've been building and refining GraceBlocks, we've seen a gap. A gap that, frankly, I saw glimpses of during my time at BrassRing and SmashFly, too. While there are plenty of great HRIS, ATS, and CRM system...
