Do you have an AirPlus (formerly Eurocard) corporate card and plan to stay or eat at the Grand Hôtel? In that case, you can have a digital receipt sent to your mobile phone when you check out or pay for your meal. The receipt is then immediately forwarded to your company’s expense management system.
The service that makes this possible is called Smart receipts, and the management of the Grand Hôtel never hesitated about signing up for it.
“You only have to look at yourself and how wonderful you think it is not to get paper receipts when you shop in a supermarket, for example,” says Karl Persson. “We also know what a hassle paper receipts can be when you’re reporting expenses.”
Smooth integration
He says the process of integrating the service has been very smooth and that they have wanted to offer their business guests this type of service for some time. However, previous solutions have been complicated, requiring the customer to have a separate digital mailbox or to be a member of various customer clubs.
“Now, everything that’s necessary is on the corporate card and the customer’s mobile phone,” he says.
But Smart receipts don’t just save time for the guest – they also make life easier for the Grand Hôtel’s staff.
Now, the customer always has their receipt with them.
“We save miles of receipt rolls per year, plus all the time previously spent helping customers with receipts that have been destroyed or lost, which happens so easily with paper receipts,” says Karl Persson. “Now, the customer always has their receipt with them.”
Smart receipts is available throughout the Grand Group – at Lydmar Hotel, The Sparrow Hotel and Mathias Dahlgren, in addition to Grand Hôtel Stockholm.
How Smart receipts work:
- You pay with your AirPlus corporate card
- A digital receipt is instantly sent to your smartphone, matched with the correct transaction and forwarded to your company’s expense management system.
- This means that everything is in place, allowing you to forward your expense report for approval.
You do realise that...
Swedish companies no longer need to keep paper receipts for accounting purposes if they have been converted into digital format? This has been the case since the Swedish Accounting Act was updated on 1 July 2024.
