Research

To get a better sense of our group's product and its benefits, the research team was hard at work providing us with great information:

-allEtronic.com - This company was founded upon the same enviromental and consumer friendly principles as our project product: paperless reciepts. The mission is to not only provide consumers and retailers a cost-effective and convenient way to document economic transactions, but, most importantly, to benefit the enviroment by preventing the unneccessary processing of trees to make receipts and other business/market documents that could be better handled through the basic technology that is at our disposal. Our project's goal is golden; in these dire economic times for a world currently destroying its enviroment, saving money and the Earth are smart aspirations for any company product. But our group must make sure that we build upon this innovative idea expressed by allEtronic and present our product with more strength in comparison.

-The Neat Company - Neat's products are evidence of the shift of our documents from paper to digital. They advertise scanners that organize your documents into digital form and helps you easily manage and organize them.

-ShoeBoxed - Another example of a company capitalizing on the desire to organize and manage our financial documents digitally.

-Amy provided us with some concrete evidence of paper waste and its significant costs on companies, especially small businesses. She asked two Brunswick, GA businesses what they spent on paper for receipts, and they told her that it was high enough that they would think about using a company such as RethinkReceipts.
