Planyard + Xero

The Xero integration for Planyard is mainly used to send project manager approved bills from subcontractors or vendors to accounting. The data that is sent to accounting includes the original cost documents (picture of a receipt from your phone, invoice PDF from the vendor, delivery note, etc) and the corresponding totals approved in Planyard.

If you have assigned accounting accounts to your budget items, then the line item totals will be grouped and added up on the accounting account level so that the accountant has one step less to do. If you want to assign the accounting accounts to the budget line-items already in Planyard, see how to do it here.

If you have a working connection to Xero, then every time a user in your organization logs in, the following data is fetched from Xero and also created in Planyard:

  • Chart of Accounts
  • Contacts

When you create a contact in Planyard, it will also be sent to Xero so that the two systems are up to date.

Intuitive Planning - a perfect partner to Xero

We love how simple, intuitive and powerful Xero is but were having difficulty finding a project management add on that was equally intuitive and powerful, until we discovered Planyard. Planyard has transformed how we view our projects and ensures the finance team, project managers and the subcontractors have a clear view of the project finances. The support is exceptional and Planyard team are always available to give us a hand or listen to suggestions for new features. The Xero integration is extremely fast and reliable :)

Great solution for the construction industry

I have been working on cloud accounting tools like Xero which are excellent, but they don’t have a specific construction-based costing tool, until now. Construction companies rely on expensive quantity surveyors and project managers to do a lot of data input on packages such as Excel which takes them away from focusing on value-added activities and driving the profit growth. When I came across Planyard, I was relieved that there was finally a solution to this problem. Quotes, subcontract orders, purchase orders, invoices, progress bills, etc are put on the system and it’s linked directly to the budget, CVRs, subcontractors, and the suppliers. This is making people’s lives a lot easier. Data is at hand, it’s automated and it gets everyone away from the out-dated requirement to fill out spreadsheets. Its simply making my clients more profitable.
