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.

Finally, a construction tool that doesn't feel like a bloated ERP

I previously worked with Oracle at a UK Tier 1 contractor, and I saw firsthand how bloated software can actually hurt financial control. Now at an Australian SME, I still need that same Tier 1 budget discipline — just without the bloat. Planyard hits that sweet spot. It provides structured budgets, strong cost controls, and a professional ERP-level feel, but it’s simple, quick to set up, and practical to use. The Oracle rollout took years, and teams still relied heavily on Excel spreadsheets afterwards. I set up Planyard myself in just a few days. It’s now our strict gatekeeper for purchase orders, handles tax and retention rules smoothly, and generates professional remittance notices our subcontractors rely on. For any QS in the UK or Australia, it delivers real financial clarity without the spreadsheet headaches. Planyard does exactly what it says on the tin.

Highly Recommended

Planyard with Xero works so efficiently to ensure good cost control and monitoring of projects while also providing stakeholders with up to date information. Can't recommend highly enough. The support during implementation was very good also.

Planyard + Xero = no more surprises

Without real-time cost tracking, it’s easy to mistake being busy for being profitable. We needed a system that told us which projects were actually making money before it was too late. With Planyard’s seamless integration with Xero, every purchase order, subcontractor payment, and invoice flows directly into our accounting system—giving us instant financial clarity without manual data entry or reconciliation headaches.

Hi Sam, thank you for the fantastic review! You hit the nail on the head- 'mistaking being busy for being profitable' is a trap we love helping our users avoid.

Eliminating manual data entry for purchase orders and invoices to give you instant financial clarity is exactly what Planyard is built to do!
