Three ways to turn finished jobs into Xero invoices.
Typing them into Xero yourself, using a job-management app, or using Xevrion. What each one does, and when each is the right choice. Including when Xevrion is not.
If you bill a few jobs a week, typing them into Xero works. If you need to plan, quote and run jobs, a job-management app does all of that. It can also send invoices to Xero. Xevrion fits in between. It turns each finished job, with its proof and agreed price, into a checked Xero draft. It never sends the invoice for you.
Side by side
What each one does.
| Question | By hand in Xero | A job-management app | Xevrion |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | You type each invoice into Xero. | An app that runs jobs from quote to invoice, such as Tradify, ServiceM8 or Fergus. | Finished jobs become checked Xero draft invoices. |
| Where the job is recorded | Wherever you keep it now. | In the app. | Wherever you keep it now; you add it when the job is done. |
| Proof the work was done | Kept separately, if at all. | Usually kept in the app with the job. | A job sheet, photo or note, attached to the Xero draft. |
| Check against billing twice | You search Xero yourself. | Check how the app handles it. | Yes, by job reference, before a draft is made. |
| Who approves | You. | Set in the app. | A named person approves every draft. |
| What reaches Xero | The invoice you type. | Invoices from the app. | A draft only; you issue it in Xero. |
| Cost | Your time. | A separate subscription; check each app's pricing. | From £295 a month, with all three services. |
| Also does | Nothing else. | Scheduling, quotes and job tracking. | Invoice follow-up and replies to enquiries. |

Choosing
When each one is the right choice.
By hand in Xero
You bill a few jobs a week and like to type each invoice yourself.
A job-management app
You need to schedule, quote and track jobs for a team in the field. That is what these apps are for.
Xevrion
You already record jobs your own way and want each finished job to become a checked Xero draft with its proof, plus help chasing payment and answering enquiries.
Xevrion is not the right choice if you need scheduling, quoting or a mobile app for your team, if you use QuickBooks (Completed work needs Xero), or if you want invoices issued with no one checking them.
Questions
About this comparison.
Can I use Xevrion with a job-management app?
Yes, if the app does not already create the invoice in Xero. Otherwise you could bill the same job twice, so use one route for each job.
Does Xevrion send the invoice?
No. It makes a Xero draft after a person approves it. You issue it from Xero.
Does it work with QuickBooks?
Not for this service. Completed work needs Xero. Invoice follow-up works with Xero or QuickBooks.
