 Automating Accounts Payable and Supplier Management with Burdi


For many trade businesses, the back office is where hours disappear. Invoices pile up, supplier details need entering, and reconciling accounts often means late nights or weekends spent catching up. Bookkeepers and office staff are left chasing paperwork instead of focusing on the parts of the job that add real value.

Burdi changes that. By automating accounts payable and supplier management, it takes the repetitive work off your desk and ensures accuracy from the start.

The Old Way vs. the Burdi Way

Traditionally, handling invoices means:

  • Manually entering details into accounting software

  • Double-checking job numbers and allocations

  • Reconciling one invoice at a time

  • Chasing suppliers for missing information

It’s slow, it’s frustrating, and it’s error-prone.

With Burdi, invoices flow directly into the system, are automatically processed, and sync seamlessly with platforms like Xero. Exceptions are flagged for review, but the bulk of the work is handled in the background.

Smarter Accounts Payable

Burdi makes accounts payable almost effortless.

  • Automatic invoice import: Instead of scanning and typing, invoices are pulled straight into Burdi.

  • Xero integration: Burdi works with your accounting software, eliminating double handling.

  • Automatic data entry: Suppliers can send invoices to a dedicated Burdi email address, which means details are logged without anyone touching a keyboard.

This isn’t just about saving time. It’s about reducing mistakes and making sure every invoice is accounted for.

Handling Exceptions with Ease

Of course, not every invoice arrives perfect. Sometimes a supplier forgets to include a job number or a detail doesn’t match. Burdi highlights these exceptions automatically.

Office staff don’t need to sift through every line — they just focus on the flagged issues. The result is hours saved every week, and far less chance of errors slipping through.

Supplier Management Made Simple

Burdi also makes it easier to manage supplier relationships.

  • Set up suppliers once: Their details and integrations stay linked.

  • Streamlined communication: Suppliers are directed to email invoices straight to Burdi.

  • Visibility: Owners and office staff can see all supplier interactions in one place.

This structure gives clarity and helps build smoother, more reliable supplier processes.

Freeing Office Staff to Do More

When the admin is handled, office staff and bookkeepers can spend time where it really counts — analysing numbers, improving processes, and supporting the business strategically. Instead of being stuck in endless data entry, they can finally focus on the bigger picture.

Why Bookkeepers Love Burdi

Burdi isn’t just another tool; it’s a game-changer for the back office. By automating accounts payable and simplifying supplier management, it takes away the admin grind and gives bookkeepers space to breathe.

Fewer mistakes, faster processing, and greater visibility — all built into one platform.
