The Challenge

Australian Airport Services processes around 50 supplier invoices every day across airport operations nationwide. Before Autamigo, every single one had to be manually opened, entered line by line into Simpro against the right job, then exported to Xero.

That job alone took most of the morning.

I was manually entering invoices line by line into Simpro on each job before exporting them into Xero. It was a very manual process before Autamigo, and it could get frustrating when we had other deadlines and higher invoice volumes.”

Because supplier invoices sit at the very start of the billing workflow, nothing else could move until they were done. Approvals slowed, customer invoicing slipped later in the day, and the admin piled up. The team needed a faster path forward, but they didn't want to overhaul the way they worked.


The Solution

Autamigo slotted straight into how Australian Airport Services already operated. No rip-and-replace. No retraining. Invoices now arrive in the accounts inbox and flow automatically into Autamigo — supplier details, invoice numbers, dates, and line items all captured in the background. The invoice is then prepared in Simpro for a quick review before syncing through to Xero.

Autamigo basically does it all for you. I just check it before I hit the go button.”

What used to eat up most of the morning is now a quick review step. The hours are back. The frustration is gone.


Before Autamigo

  1. Invoice received by email
  2. Downloaded and opened manually
  3. Supplier invoice created in Simpro
  4. Line items entered by hand, one by one
  5. Totals checked and verified
  6. Invoice manually exported to Xero

Several hours every morning

After Autamigo

  1. Invoice arrives and flows in automatically
  2. Details captured in the background
  3. Invoice prepared in Simpro for review
  4. One click — Simpro syncs to Xero

Under one hour each morning
