UiPath for Automation
While not directly connected to Xero, we have a daily robotic process built on UiPath that handles bank reconciliations. This process clears bank rules and, based on specific criteria, also clears green matches on the Xero bank reconciliation. The use of AI and automation is rapidly increasing, and it’s crucial that we capitalise on these marginal gains.
Xero for Employee Expense Claims
Xero Expenses is great for simplified expense processing. With a team of around 30 in the UK and not heavy users of expenses, it has always been sufficient, with a single approver handling all team expenses. However, we are exploring Dext for expense management in case our needs expand.
GoCardless for Billing
Automatically collecting cash on the due date is essential for improving your working capital cycle, that's why we use GoCardless. In addition to the working capital benefits, this approach eliminates the need for a credit control function, helping keep the team and finance operations lean!
