And from MANY years working in various businesses, this kind of massive labor-saving and process-saving activities are always wanted, never encouraged, and penalized by more work and no extra pay/bonuses.

And frankly, I love solving business process issues like this. I think it's challenging, fun, and interesting work. But is it monetarily valued? Nope.

You sell the solution as a Windows app that includes a barcode scanner and a barcode on the receipt. You then have an application interface to an Access database or something.

And now you didn't automate your job, you sourced a vendor.

You still automated it. And if you’re the vendor, win win.
