Sample electronic invoice with fictional data

The power of one receipt.

This crumpled ball of paper holds information nobody else in Panama is reading. We read it every day. Scroll to flatten it out.

From paper to data

Every receipt is more than paper.

Thousands of receipts like this one arrive every day. Cuestio reads them line by line.

Product level

Every line carries its exact product.

A bank statement only says how much you spent. The receipt says what you bought: 425-gram ground coffee with its barcode. Also the brand and the size. No surveys and no memory.

Price paid

The price actually paid at the register.

Not the list price or the shelf price. It is the final amount with promotions and discounts included. Product by product and chain by chain. It shows what each promotion actually delivered.

Speed

The receipt reaches the tax authority within hours.

The law requires every receipt to reach the DGI within hours. It reaches us the same day it is scanned.

Validation

Every receipt can be verified.

The QR lets anyone validate each receipt with the tax authority. It is observed data and not self-reported. A tax document and not a purchase diary.

Who, where and when

Merchant, store and the exact minute.

Every document says where and when the purchase happened. It shows when, in which chain and how often the country buys.

The Cuestio panel

Now multiply it by 400,000+.

More than 400,000 real purchases, all shared with consent. Behind them, a community of more than 17,000 facturillo users.

  • Real purchases and not surveys
  • Answers in days and not months
  • Every receipt verifiable with the tax authority
  • Made in Panama for Panama

How we know

Simple outside, serious inside.

People scan their receipts in the facturillo app and earn points for each one.

We only use receipts from people who authorized it. Personal data stays out.

We publish aggregated statistics, never one person's information.
