Overview
With Datamolino, you can capture, code, categorise and approve invoices where needed, all in one workflow. Datamolino lets you process the following financial documents:
- Bills
- Receipts
- Bank Statements
Reduce time spent on repetitive bookkeeping tasks and manual data entry, and get purchase sign-off where needed before exporting invoices to Xero.
Bills, Receipts & Bank Statements
- Capture Receipts and Invoices: Upload through our mobile app, browser or email. Datamolino uses OCR and AI to capture invoice data, including descriptions and line items.
- Automate invoice coding: Set rules to simplify coding and categorisation before exporting to Xero.
- Convert Bank Statements into CSV or Excel: Turn scanned or PDF bank statements into a spreadsheet when a bank feed isn’t available. Use CSV files to import transactions into Xero.

Invoice Approvals (where needed)

Get purchase sign-off: Set approval stages and choose who approves. Switch approvals on for folders where sign-off is needed.
-
Approve wherever you are: Clients and managers can review and approve invoices in the mobile app or browser, while finance handles the accounting.
Keep a clear approval record: See approval history alongside the invoice and optionally attach the Approval Audit Trail PDF in Xero.
