Invoice sync from KeyedIn to Xero
01  /  Overview

Think180 - SAP asset and work specialists - faced a compounding double-entry problem: every invoice created in their project management platform (KeyedIn) had to be manually recreated in their accounting system (Xero). The administrative burden was growing with the business, and so was the error risk. Avonet built a custom integration that made the duplication disappear - with a human verification step built in before anything reached the accounting ledger.

02  /  The Challenge

What we were solving

Think180's team was spending significant administrative time recreating invoice data between two systems that had no native integration - a workflow that was not scalable, introduced transcription error risk, and consumed capacity that should have been directed at higher-value work.

  • Every invoice created in KeyedIn required full manual recreation in Xero, doubling the effort
  • Manual duplication introduced transcription error risk with every invoice processed
  • No scalability - administrative overhead grew linearly with invoice volume
  • No native integration between KeyedIn and Xero available off-the-shelf
03  /  The Solution

What Avonet built

Avonet built a custom web interface sitting between KeyedIn and Xero - a real-time synchronisation layer that transfers invoices automatically while preserving a human verification step before anything is committed to the accounting system.

  • Custom web interface leveraging both KeyedIn and Xero APIs for real-time invoice transfer
  • Invoices created in KeyedIn surface in the interface for verification before syncing to Xero in draft status
  • Draft-status transfer to Xero preserves human oversight before invoices are finalised
  • OAuth2.0 security layer implemented to handle authentication and authorisation safely
04  /  Outcomes

Results that speak for themselves.

02 /50% reduction in administrative effort across the invoicing workflow
03 /Interface identified as a potential revenue-generating product for resale to other KeyedIn customers
04 /Scalable architecture handles growing invoice volume without additional headcount
