Construction Software That Syncs with Xero

Available

Problem: Manually entering construction invoices into Xero wastes hours every week and creates errors that mess up your accounts. Outcome: Sync applications for payment, invoices, and subcontractor costs to Xero over the Xero API — keeping your books accurate without the admin burden.

How It Works

Connect once, sync forever. Here's how the Xero integration keeps your construction finances in sync:

  1. 1

    Connect your Xero account

    Authorise Site Samurai via Xero OAuth. Your credentials stay with Xero — we just get permission to sync.

  2. 2

    Map your chart of accounts

    Match Site Samurai categories (labour, materials, plant) to your Xero account codes for accurate reporting.

  3. 3

    Sync invoices automatically

    Applications for payment and supplier invoices push to Xero when approved. No double-entry needed.

  4. 4

    Match payments

    When payments clear in Xero, the status syncs back so you know what's been paid without manual checking.

  5. 5

    Run financial reports

    See project profitability, cashflow, and WIP using data from both systems.
