Shoeboxed is a great way to get rid of your filing cabinet and digitize all of your documents. Highly recommended.

Like Vickie above, we had allot of problems following the 25 November upgrade, which thankfully now seem to have been resolved. I like the shoeboxed service because of the automation and online storage aspects of the service, however there are definately a few things that need tweaking/adding to make the service relevant and more than the files service now offered in Xero. The few tweaks needed I see are: 1. The shipping/delivery costs need to be extracted/automated as well as any other relevant fields, then exportable to Xero. 2. When exporting invoices to Xero, the invoice date then also defaults into the due date over riding the Xero payment rules we go to the trouble of setting up. Xero and Shoeboxed need to sort this out quickly. Each keep blaming the others API interaction. 3. The invoice number needs to be recognised and used as the reference # instead of the long and cryptic shoeboxed database reference, and then automated to be exported to Xero. These are important features for me otherwise I will likely cease use of the shoeboxed service as it currently causes allot of manual repair work, negating the automation benefits in both systems. Almost as much work to just use the files feature in Xero and save the $$ subscription cost of Shoeboxed.

Shoeboxed, in theory, is a great idea but we've had a bumpy ride from the beginning. We finally resolved our concerns - by amending our general practices - but the recent upgrade has created so much drama. We cannot be the only business which Shoeboxed can't upload our scanned documents to the site, ready to import into Xero. Has anyone had any problems with Shoeboxed since 25 November upgrade? It's so bad that we are investigating other products - there are a few out there partnered with Xero! We'd appreciate any feedback or comments on your situation.

There has been continued growth in Xero add-ons available to extract data for bills and expenses. Despite various awards and recommendations from Xero representatives, I have not tried most of them. The reason for this is that, since starting with Xero some years ago, I have always been satisfied with my existing data capture service: Shoeboxed. Responsive support staff and progressive introduction of features has always made me entirely confident in both using and recommending the service for my clients. Increasingly, as I work with multiple Xero add-ons and related services, I find that service is the difference in smooth setup and ongoing operation for the client's business systems. Shoeboxed shines in this regard. No matter how I want to tailor the access by users, manage document handling and export with/for a client, or otherwise use the features offered, there is always a dedicated Shoeboxed representative that will engage with me to achieve the desired outcome. Rather than being just another subscriber being offered default solutions, my client's business needs are addressed with consideration to their particular requirements.

Shoeboxed makes life easier for bookkeepers and even more simple for your clients as they simply forward all their invoices to Shoeboxed via mail or email. Then you have perfect document storage with no more need to keep endless boxes of paper plus access to each invoice in Xero with a simple click. Shoeboxed is simply amazing and a must have add on for cloud bookkeepers.

Shoeboxed has fundamentally changed the way we manage out practice and has added massive value to our clients - and it keeps getting better. Transparency and audit clarity are winners, not to mention the reduced data entry load on our team.. we remain more relevant and responsive to our clients needs - especially being able to provide that emergency document that's needed 'right now' or bad things happen.... no problem. Document turnaround in 60 seconds. Gold.
