At WAO Group, our journey began not in the world of broad ERP systems, but deep within the Xero ecosystem. This origin story, combined with our strong accounting foundations, sets us apart as a truly unique Odoo partner. We understand the nuances of financial management better than any other Odoo implementer in the world, a legacy deeply rooted in the expertise of our co-founder, Jeri Wambeek.
Built by Accountants, for Accountants:
Our Xero Heritage
Unlike many technology partners, WAO Group was founded by accountants, Marlon and Jeri Wambeek. This means our approach to business solutions is inherently financial-led. We don't just implement software; we configure Odoo to support robust financial management and reporting from the ground up, understanding your business processes at a deeper level.
Jeri Wambeek herself was one of the original Xero training partners, starting her own accounting firm in 2009 when Xero was emerging as a game-changer. She then worked with large Xero Gold Partners, responsible for setting up their bookkeeping departments, providing comprehensive training, and implementing essential Xero add-ons. Her profound knowledge of the Xero platform has directly influenced the development of our solutions and the training of countless accountants who received their certification through her guidance.
This deep-seated expertise ensures that our Xero to Odoo connector is not just technically sound, but truly aligned with accounting best practices.
Introducing the WAO Group Xero to Odoo Connector v18: Beyond the Basic.
Our latest Xero to Odoo Connector v18 is a testament to our commitment to comprehensive and precise financial integration. Developed with an intimate understanding of both Xero and Odoo, this connector goes far beyond standard synchronizations, offering features crucial for businesses that demand accuracy and efficiency.
What sets our connector apart in the market?
Robust POS Integration:
Crucially, our connector seamlessly integrates Point of Sale (POS) data between Odoo and Xero. This feature is often overlooked by other connectors but is vital for retail and hospitality businesses that need real-time synchronization of sales transactions, inventory movements, and payment reconciliation for accurate accounting.
Complete Bidirectional Data Flow:
Our connector ensures a holistic synchronization across a wide array of entities, including:
- Core Financials: Invoices, bills, payments, and credit notes flow effortlessly, ensuring your ledger is always up-to-date in both systems.
- Essential Records:
Synchronize products, contacts (customers and vendors), bank accounts, tax rates, and charts of accounts, maintaining consistency across your operational and financial data.
- Operational Depth:
Beyond basic financials, our connector handles purchase orders and sales orders, providing a unified view of your procure-to-pay and order-to-cash cycles.
- Timesheet to Payroll Integration: For project-based or time-sensitive businesses, our connector can link employee timesheet records from Odoo directly into Xero Payroll, supporting accurate wage processing and project costing.
Automated & Flexible Synchronization:
Set up scheduled automatic imports and exports, or trigger manual transfers as needed. This flexibility ensures data consistency without constant manual intervention, adhering to Xero's API rate limits for smooth operation.
Automated & Flexible Synchronization:
For complex business structures, our connector allows separate Odoo companies to connect to their respective Xero files, managing distinct tax rules, payroll requirements, and currency differences while providing consolidated financial visibility.
Transparent Monitoring & Error Handling:
With centralized logging via a Job Queue, you can monitor the progress of data transfers in real-time. This includes detailed logs and messages that help diagnose and troubleshoot any synchronization issues efficiently, giving you complete control and peace of mind.
