The spreadsheet has become the integration
Your team exports, reformats, checks, and reimports data because the systems involved do not quite connect.
When custom makes sense
Sometimes the requirement needs more than the product
We first look at whether Batchly, including a tailored Scale implementation, can solve the requirement. Bespoke development makes sense when the need genuinely sits outside the product and calls for its own Xero app, integration, or specialised finance process.
Your process has specialist requirements
A bank format, supplier workflow, data source, or internal control does not fit the standard options available.
Another system needs to work with Xero
Operational or finance data needs to move reliably between Xero and another platform, file, or internal workflow.
The same manual steps repeat every cycle
People are spending time copying, validating, reconciling, or communicating information that could be handled systematically.
What we can help with
Custom Xero apps, integrations and finance automation
We stay focused on Xero and finance operations. The strongest fit is where Xero, finance data, supplier processes, payments, or operational workflows are central to the problem.
Custom Xero applications
Design and build purpose-built Xero apps for business requirements that need their own interface, logic, workflow, and API integration.
Xero API integrations
Connect Xero with internal systems or specialised platforms when data needs to move reliably between them.
Finance workflow automation
Turn repetitive finance administration, hand-offs, and checks into a structured workflow with clearer controls.
Payment and banking workflows
Support specialised payment outputs, bank-file requirements, and payment preparation processes that sit around Xero.
Data and system integrations
Import, validate, transform, and reconcile CSV, spreadsheet, or system data when it remains an important part of the operating process.
Supplier, remittance and reporting workflows
Build specialised supplier communication, remittance, reporting, and operational finance processes around the information held in Xero.
AI-assisted finance workflows
Where it suits a scoped requirement, use AI to assist specific steps such as extracting or classifying document data, matching or summarising records, and drafting supplier communications, with a person reviewing and approving the outcome.
Choose the simplest fit
Use Batchly where it fits. Build bespoke only when it doesn’t.
We start with the problem rather than assuming custom development is necessary.
Batchly
Use Batchly when the requirement belongs in the payment workflow
Core and Plus cover the standard Batchly payment workflow. Scale adds supported implementation and workflow customisation for larger, multi-organisation, or more complex requirements while keeping the solution within Batchly.
See who Batchly is forCustom solution
Build a bespoke Xero solution when the requirement sits outside Batchly
A custom solution can be a purpose-built Xero app, integration, or specialised finance workflow when the requirement needs its own data model, interface, system connections, rules, or operating process beyond what Batchly is designed to provide.
Discuss the requirementIf Batchly, including Scale, can solve the problem well, we’ll recommend that first rather than pushing you toward a bespoke build.
How projects work
Scope first. Build second.
Every project starts by understanding the business requirement and technical boundaries. We confirm feasibility and scope before either side commits to a build.
01
Understand the requirement
We map the current process, systems, files, controls, volumes, and the outcome you are trying to achieve.
02
Scope the solution
We confirm what should be built, what should stay in Xero, key assumptions, delivery boundaries, and the commercial approach.
03
Build and test
The solution is implemented and tested against representative data and the real operational edge cases that matter.
04
Launch and support
We move the solution into use with a clear handover, agreed support model, and the right operational checks in place.
Common questions
Custom Xero solutions, explained
What is Custom Xero Solutions?
It is our bespoke development service for Xero requirements that sit outside the Batchly product. We scope and build custom Xero apps, API integrations, and finance workflows for teams whose process needs something the standard product is not designed to cover.
What is the difference between a custom Xero app and a Xero integration?
An integration connects Xero with another system so data moves between them reliably. Custom Xero app development builds a purpose-built application with its own interface, data model, and workflow logic, using the Xero API where it needs to read or write accounting data.
When should we use Batchly Scale instead of bespoke development?
Start with Batchly. Core and Plus cover the standard payment workflow, and Scale adds supported implementation and workflow customisation for larger, multi-organisation, or more complex requirements. Bespoke development is for requirements that genuinely sit outside the product.
What do you mean by AI-assisted finance workflows?
In scoped projects we can use AI to assist specific steps such as extracting or classifying data from documents, matching or summarising records, and drafting supplier communications. A person still reviews and approves the outcome, and Xero remains the system of record.
How does a project start?
With a scoping conversation. We map the current process, systems, files, controls, and volumes, then confirm feasibility, boundaries, and the commercial approach before any development begins. If a simpler option exists, we will say so.
Prefer to talk it through with a Xero developer before committing to anything? Book a scoping conversation.
