How SMEs are measuring their carbon footprint with a seamless Xero integration
Customer StoriesSMEs across Australia and New Zealand know they need to measure their carbon footprint - clients are asking, and government contracts require it. But every time they've looked into it, they've hit the same roadblocks: complex calculators, expensive consultants, and systems not designed for small businesses.
In a world in which automation is making people's life easier, SMEs expect solutions that make their life easier. Many are now discovering that there's already a solution sitting in their existing Xero accounting system. No additional software to learn. No complex data collection projects, just a simple connection that transforms months of potential work into minutes.
The power of working with data you already have instead of creating new data collection processes is priceless. Your Xero system contains everything needed for accurate carbon measurement - CarbonInvoice just makes that data useful for sustainability purposes.
Every transaction that flows through Xero automatically feeds into your carbon calculation. Business travel, office supplies, equipment purchases, utilities - it all gets analysed and converted into your carbon footprint without any additional work from your team.
The result: SMEs finally have access to professional carbon measurement that fits their reality.
"CarbonInvoice is a game-changer for small businesses. It connects easily to Xero, calculates our carbon footprint automatically, and plants native trees to offset it. No hassle, no guesswork—just real impact." - Lovely Sanchez
The speed transformation is genuinely shocking for businesses used to lengthy sustainability projects. Mark Townshend from a consulting firm put it perfectly:
"We explored other options before finding CarbonInvoice, but none were as efficient. CarbonInvoice was incredibly quick to set up through Xero, and within minutes we had a clear understanding of our carbon footprint."
Compare that to the traditional approach, which have always been a nightmare for small businesses. Toni Moyes has experienced both sides:
"We'd used carbon consultants previously but the process took weeks for our finance team each year which got in the way of other priorities. CarbonInvoice gave us the same in minutes."
The smartest part about the Xero integration is that it requires zero changes to how you currently run your business. Stephanie Martinez discovered this when setting up her executive search firm: "The best part was it took us a few minutes to sign up and get going with no change to our current processes."
Your team continues using Xero exactly as they always have. The carbon measurement happens automatically in the background without adding any administrative burden to your existing operations.
"Seamless integration with Xero. It's a fantastic way to measure your carbon and it's even better to know that trees are actually being planted to offset it." - Rhiannon McKinnon
The integration delivers consultant-quality carbon measurement with none of the consultant headaches. No lengthy discovery calls, spending time collecting data and waiting weeks a report. Just professional carbon footprint analysis that updates automatically as your business operates.
Alex Allan reinforced this experience:
"CarbonInvoice made everything straightforward. The setup was quick, and the Xero integration works flawlessly."
The days of choosing between manual and automatic measurements are over. With a built integration through a software they know and trust, businesses don't have to think twice when making a decision. Xero integration is their final choice.
