Xero for Construction

Xero is great for accounting, but it wasn’t built for job costing. Planyard fills the gap with real-time cost tracking, automated purchase orders, and seamless invoice approvals — so only clean, error-free data lands in Xero.

  • Approval-only sync keeps ledgers clean
  • 3-way match blocks bad invoices before accounting
  • Real-time project costs and forecasts

Solutions for Contractors on Xero

Pick a starting point: add the controls Xero misses — job costing, estimating, approvals, CIS, and more.

Estimating

Stop rebuilding numbers in spreadsheets: build accurate estimates with templates and a cost library, then convert to a live budget and POs in one click.

Bids & Proposals

Create client quotes with markup from your cost database, export branded proposal PDFs, and carry accepted numbers forward into delivery.

Timesheets

Track hours by project and cost code, route approvals, then export per-project / per-worker summaries to Xero — fueling live variance & EAC.

Work Orders

Assign work, capture hours and site evidence against the budget, and export per-project / per-worker rollups to Xero—updating EAC without spreadsheets.

Job Costing

Real-time cost tracking plus automated POs and invoice approvals — keep project profitability current without manual work.

Purchase Orders

Raise POs against budgets, route for approval, 3-way match to delivery/invoice, then sync only approved, coded bills to Xero.

CIS & Reverse Charge VAT

Keep vendor linkage and coding correct in Planyard so Xero applies tax rules (incl. reverse charge) on posted bills; PDFs and references travel with the bill.

Approval Workflows

Capture invoices, auto-link to POs and deliveries, route project-configured approvals, and only then post to Xero — no drafts, no duplicates.

Construction Integration

Approve an invoice in Planyard and it automatically transfers to Xero (quantities, prices, and the original PDF) while budget lines map to the correct accounts.
