Xero integration for garage management software
Every invoice you raise in Autopilot lands in Xero on its own, with the payment against it. Your books stay current without anyone typing a job in twice.
How Autopilot works with Xero
Invoices sync automatically
Raise an invoice on the job and it appears in Xero. No exports, no CSV files, no copying totals across.
Payments marked as paid
When a customer pays by card or on account, the payment syncs too, so reconciling is a matter of ticking it off.
VAT handled properly
Labour, parts and VAT come across as they were on the invoice, ready for your VAT return.
What is Xero?
Xero is online accounting software used by small businesses and their accountants across the UK. It handles invoicing, bank reconciliation, VAT returns and reporting in the cloud, so you and your accountant are always looking at the same numbers.
It is recognised by HMRC for Making Tax Digital, which is why so many accountants move their garage clients onto it.

Xero and Autopilot: your questions answered
Does Autopilot integrate with Xero?+
Yes. Autopilot syncs invoices and payments straight into Xero on every plan, so you do not need to re-key anything or import files.
Do I need to export anything to get invoices into Xero?+
No. Some garage systems give you an export file to import yourself. Autopilot sends invoices to Xero directly once your account is connected.
Can I switch from QuickBooks or Sage to Xero later?+
Yes. Autopilot also works with QuickBooks and Sage, so if you or your accountant change package, you change the connection rather than your garage system.
