Odello + Xero — automate the order desk, keep your books in Xero
Xero runs your finance. It was never meant to run your order intake — the WhatsApp messages, the emailed POs, the phone orders someone types up before anything reaches an invoice. Odello takes over that front half: the AI reads, validates, and confirms orders across every channel, and the clean result flows through to Xero. Your accountant keeps working exactly where they already work.
How it works
- Orders arrive anywhere — WhatsApp, email, PDFs, voice notes. The AI turns each into a validated, confirmed order against your price book and stock.
- Odello runs operations — order desk, fulfilment flow, delivery and proof-of-delivery if you use them.
- Xero stays your source of financial truth — confirmed order and billing data flows through to Xero, so invoicing, reconciliation, and reporting continue unchanged.
What stays the same
Everything your finance team touches. Xero remains the accounting system of record; Odello removes the manual keying that happens before the numbers get there. No migration, no parallel books.
Who runs this today
Odello runs in production alongside Xero for Singapore distribution and food businesses — it's one of the most common stacks we deploy into. For what the order-desk side delivers, see how a Singapore catering business automated 92% of order intake in two months. Read the case study.
FAQ
Does Odello replace Xero?
No. Xero stays your accounting system. Odello handles order intake and operations in front of it — the work that currently happens in chats, inboxes, and spreadsheets.
Will my accountant need to change how they work?
No. Finance workflows in Xero — invoicing, reconciliation, reports — continue as they are.
What data flows to Xero?
Confirmed order and billing data from the order desk, so your books reflect operations without manual re-entry. Exact scope is configured during onboarding to match how you use Xero.
We're on a different accounting system — does that matter?
Odello works alongside your existing accounting software; Xero is one of the stacks we deploy with most often. Ask us about yours.
