5 Xero add-ons to boost your productivity

Xero provides an "everything in one place" accounting platform to help your business thrive and simplify everyday business administration.

There is also a wide range of Xero add-ons that can expand its many applications, freeing up time for staff, and making daily bookkeeping and reporting duties effortless. With over 1,000 add-ons available, it can be daunting task to figure out which are best suited for your business needs. To make this task easier, here are 5 tried and tested Xero add-ons that we think are especially useful.

Chaser

Chaser is a credit control app, which helps you stay on top of what’s owed, reduce late payments and improve cashflow. With automated invoice chasing functionality, you can send personalised reminders to customers, therefore reducing the time and effort required to chase unpaid invoices.

Pleo

With Pleo, a business can give their employees a company card with adjustable card limits, as well as a place to store their everyday receipts and mileage claims. These expenses can be pushed straight into Xero and any missing receipts or expense details are flagged. This is great for tracking overspending and lost receipts.

Dext

Say goodbye to hours of manual data entry!

Dext collects and extracts data from purchase invoices, automatically processing them through to Xero with the PDF copies attached. This gives you more time to focus on other areas of your business.

ApprovalMax

ApprovalMax is a useful tool that helps you get your financial documents approved on time, eliminating the need for manual approvals. It helps you stay on top of your authority policy and also keeps approvers out of the accounting system.

Fathom

Fathom provides an in-depth insight into your ongoing business development. With management reporting you can track, visualise and make better decisions to improve business performance. You can look to the future with greater confidence and create reliable cashflow forecasts. Results can also be shared to keep your team informed and stay on track to meet the goals of the business.
