About Xero integration

Xero is where the money story lives - but most scaffolding firms don’t get real visibility because finance sits in one tool and operations sits in another. That creates the usual problems:

  • invoices lag behind delivery
  • variations don’t get billed
  • supplier costs aren’t tied to jobs
  • month-end is a scramble
  • “profit” is guessed, not known

This integration connects Agenisy and Xero so billing and reporting stay tied to the job - from quote to variation to final invoice.

What you can do with Xero connected

  • Sync contacts (customers, suppliers) so you don’t duplicate records.
  • Create invoices automatically from:
    • approved quotes
    • variations
    • staged payments / milestones
  • Attach supporting documents (POs, timesheets, photos, variation approvals) to the invoice/job record.
  • Track profitability by job by linking revenue and costs to the same project.
  • Automate payment reminders and overdue follow-ups without manual chasing.
  • Improve forecasting by linking pipeline value + scheduled work to expected cashflow.

Extra functionality you should include (high value)

  • Variation control: prompt billing the moment scope changes are logged.
  • Deposit and staged billing: split invoices into deposit / interim / final.
  • Credit notes + adjustments: handle changes cleanly without messy workarounds.
  • VAT/tax consistency: apply correct tax codes by default to avoid errors.
  • Director reporting: simple dashboards for revenue, overdue, margin by job/month.

Key benefits

  • Faster, more accurate invoicing
  • Fewer missed variations and margin leaks
  • Cleaner month-end with less reconciliation
  • Better visibility on profit per job and cashflow risk

Features available

  • Customer/supplier contact sync
  • Invoice creation + sending (rules-based)
  • Payment status sync (paid/partial/overdue)
  • Tax/VAT mapping and defaults
  • Credit notes and adjustments (where enabled)
  • Automated reminders and chase workflows
  • Job-level profitability reporting (revenue vs costs)

Setup the Xero integration

1) Connect Xero

  1. In Agenisy go to Settings → Integrations → Xero.
  2. Click Connect Xero.
  3. Sign in and select your Xero organisation.
  4. Approve the requested permissions.

2) Set your mappings

Configure:

  • Contacts: how Agenisy customers/suppliers match Xero contacts
  • Tax/VAT: default tax rates and codes
  • Products/services (optional): how line items are structured
  • Invoice numbering: if you want Agenisy job refs included

3) Choose your automation level

Pick what should happen automatically:

  • Create invoice when a quote is approved
  • Create invoice when a variation is approved
  • Create staged invoices (deposit/interim/final)
  • Auto-send invoices or save as draft for approval (recommended)

4) Configure payment chasing

  • Set reminder schedule (e.g., 7 days, 14 days, 30 days overdue)
  • Choose message templates and escalation rules
  • Decide who gets notified internally

5) Test the workflow

  • Create a test customer and sync to Xero
  • Generate a test invoice from a quote
  • Mark a payment in Xero and confirm status updates in Agenisy
  • Add a variation and confirm it triggers the right billing behaviour

Recommended setup (most scaffold firms)

  • Invoices created as draft for approval (reduces mistakes)
  • Variations always trigger an invoice prompt
  • Deposits enabled for larger jobs
  • Standard VAT mapping locked in
  • Overdue reminders enabled with escalation to accounts
