Automation & Integration
Most Australian businesses run on more than one app. Your POS talks to your inventory system, your job management tool generates invoices, your payroll platform needs timesheet data. When these systems are not connected to Xero, your team fills the gap - manually re-keying data, chasing discrepancies, and reconciling numbers that should already match
We connect your business systems to Xero and automate the manual processes that slow your team down. From configuring native Xero apps to building custom API integrations, we handle the technical work so your data flows accurately and your accounts stay clean

Our services
Two ways we can help
Xero Integrations
Connect your business systems to Xero - native app setup, workflow automation using middleware, or custom API development. Three approaches based on what your situation actually needs
- native Xero app configuration
- middleware automation (Make, Zapier)
- custom Xero API development
Automation & AI
We review your systems, digitise manual processes, connect your apps, and layer in AI where it makes a real difference. Four layers of improvement, built around what your business actually needs
- systems review and process mapping
- app selection and implementation
- connectors and API integrations
- agentic AI solutions
Getting started
How our automation and integration services work
Discovery and assessment
- walk through your current systems - what you use, what connects, what doesn't, and where time is being lost
- identify the data flows and manual processes that have the biggest impact on your team
- recommend an approach - native app, middleware automation, or custom build - and scope the work with a fixed quote
Build and configure
- set up, build, or develop the integration in a test environment against your real data
- map accounts, contacts, and transaction types between systems so data arrives in Xero correctly coded and reconciliation-ready
- configure error handling and monitoring so nothing slips through silently
Test and go live
- run real transactions through the integration and verify the data in Xero matches what you expect
- your team tests the new workflow and confirms everything reconciles
- switch on in production, train your team, and document everything
Ongoing support
- monitor the integration for errors and fix issues as they come up
- update when APIs change - Xero and third-party apps release updates regularly that can break existing connections
- extend or refine the integration as your business evolves and new needs emerge
Why Digit
Why choose Digit for automation and integration?
Most bookkeeping firms can reconcile your accounts. Very few can build the pipes that feed data into them. We started as Xero developers in 2013 - before Digit was a bookkeeping firm - and that technical foundation runs through everything we do
When we connect your systems, we do it as people who understand what the data needs to look like when it arrives in your accounts. That is the difference between a developer and a finance team that also develops
Get in touchXero certified developers since 2013
Our integration work predates our bookkeeping practice. We have been building against the Xero API for over a decade across hundreds of Australian businesses
We understand the accounting side
A developer can connect two APIs. A developer who also manages hundreds of Xero files knows what the data needs to look like when it arrives - GST coding, account mapping, reconciliation-ready
160+ apps across our client base
POS systems, job management, CRMs, payroll platforms, inventory, and legacy databases. If it has an API or a database, we have probably connected it to Xero
Ongoing support, not just a build
APIs change. Apps push updates. We maintain the integrations we build so your data keeps flowing when things change upstream
Fixed fees, no surprises
We agree a fixed fee before we start. You know the cost up front, and it stays the same regardless of how many questions you ask along the way
One team for everything
Your bookkeeping, payroll, and integration work all sit under one roof. No handoffs between firms, no context lost between your accountant and your developer
