Each year, Wallin Farms employees spend several weeks manually entering scale tickets from the year’s harvest into Excel. After my encounter with the process, I realized it could be automated with the use of scripting languages like Python and OCR engines like Google Vision.
So, I created a tool called SnapScale that turns images of scale tickets into Excel reports effectively reducing weeks worth of manual entry to just a few hours.
What started off as a CLI eventually became a web app so less technical employees could use it.
