Migrations
Xero to iplicit

Xero to iplicit

Xero was perfect for getting your business off the ground with straightforward cloud accounting. But as you've scaled, added complexity, or expanded internationally, you've likely hit the ceiling of what it can handle.

iplicit is purpose-built for organisations in your position, offering enterprise-grade capabilities without abandoning the cloud-based accessibility you've come to expect.

Your business has outgrown Xero's capabilities. It's time for a finance platform built for your next stage of growth.

Why migrate from Xero to iplicit?

Built to handle complexity

Xero works well for straightforward accounting, but users often struggle with its limitations when your organisation adds complexity. iplicit is designed for complexity, with native multi-entity consolidation, automated intercompany transactions, unlimited GL analysis, and sophisticated project accounting built in.

Scale across borders

Xero's basic multi-currency functionality falls short for genuine international operations. iplicit provides robust multi-currency management, handles multiple tax jurisdictions, and supports consolidation across different countries and regulatory requirements. No separate instances or complicated workarounds.

Automate beyond basics

Xero automates bank reconciliation well but leaves most other processes manual. iplicit takes automation further with automated invoice processing, configurable approval workflows, and automated consolidation. Focus on analysis and strategy rather than repetitive data entry.

Enterprise reporting without the exports

If you're constantly exporting data from Xero into Excel to create meaningful reports, you're working harder than necessary. iplicit provides sophisticated built-in reporting and customisable dashboards that give you real-time visibility across entities, projects, and departments.

Support growth without user license anxiety

Xero's per-user pricing model can quickly add up. iplicit includes unlimited users, allowing you to give stakeholders access to the data they need, without mounting license costs. With native iOS and Android apps, your team can manage expenses, approvals, and data from anywhere.

Integrate with true flexibility

While Xero has a good app marketplace, you're often limited to pre-built connectors that may not fit your needs. iplicit combines a library of pre-built, vendor-maintained integrations with an open API for custom connections to your CRM, e-commerce platform, business intelligence tools, or bespoke applications.

"I reviewed Xero, Sage and QuickBooks and MS Dynamics. None of the others were as flexible as we required and we were looking for a system that could shape around our needs, not require us to change our working practice to fit within its constraints."

"Managing deferred income was one of my biggest challenges with Xero. The manual data work took at least two to three days every month.

With iplicit, the process is fully automated, so what used to take three days now takes zero."

"I looked at Xero, but our needs were too complex for it and we needed more powerful reporting, as well as stock capabilities.

With iplicit, it's easy to produce detailed reports broken down by department or cost centre, thanks to the unlimited number of accounting dimensions."

Mestag Therapeutics

Following phenomenal growth, Mestag quickly outgrew Xero, and required more sophisticated functionality that could support their acceleration as an organisation.

“The team has not only increased efficiency and saved hours in the working week, but there’s also no longer a need for additional consultancy costs. We’re delighted we made the switch to iplicit.”

Brookes Union

"We looked at Xero because it's another true-cloud system and obviously very cost effective.

We felt that it would have been painful and expensive to handle the migration issues, as well as the fact that our operation requires a level of complexity and reporting that was beyond the capabilities of Xero."

“We started our due diligence on cloud-based but lower-spec software like Xero and QuickBooks.

Then I reached out to some of the bigger providers, like Oracle, and realised they were well beyond our price point."
