ReceiptHero today announced a new partnership with Lähitaksi, one of Finland's longest-established taxi companies, to introduce fully digital, automated receipts for Lähitaksi passengers. The first phase, live now, covers payments made on in-car terminals, with in-app payments to follow.
Passengers receive their receipts instantly and securely through their preferred digital channels. Paper receipts are no longer needed.
Built for business travellers
Founded in 1965, Lähitaksi provides professional taxi service around the clock, every day of the year, across Uusimaa as well as in Rovaniemi and Levi. Through its own app, Lähitaksi passengers can also book rides in more than half of Finland. Many of those passengers are professionals travelling for work, for whom getting a receipt automatically is essential for expense reporting and compliance.
With ReceiptHero, a ride paid with a company card produces a digital receipt automatically, ready to flow straight into the passenger's expense management or accounting platform. There is nothing to request, photograph, store or submit by hand. Reimbursements and financial reporting simply happen.
"A large share of our passengers ride on a company card, and they want the receipt handled without having to think about it. With ReceiptHero, the receipt is ready the moment they pay and goes straight to where their company needs it. We are starting with our in-car terminals, and the app will follow." Teemu Savolainen Chief Financial and Business Development Officer, Lähitaksi
Supporting sustainability goals
Lähitaksi has built its reputation on safety, reliability and trained drivers. Removing paper receipts from every ride is a practical next step, cutting waste in each car and making urban mobility in Finland more sustainable.
Connected mobility across Finland
The partnership shows how payments and the post-purchase experience can be fully connected. Starting with in-car terminals and extending into the app, ReceiptHero and Lähitaksi are setting a seamless, data-driven standard for taxi travel, from the Helsinki region to Lapland.
In the first phase, ReceiptHero digital receipts are available for payments on Lähitaksi in-car terminals. Digital receipts for in-app payments will follow in a later phase.
"Lähitaksi has been moving people around the Helsinki region for six decades, and a lot of those rides are paid on a company card. Every fare paid in a Lähitaksi car now becomes a digital receipt that lands in the right expense or accounting system automatically, with no paper and no manual work." Markus Kyllönen, Sales Director, ReceiptHero
Lähitaksi joins a growing network of taxi operators, mobility providers and B2B-focused merchants using ReceiptHero for real-time receipt delivery.
