Xero Integration
Trusted By 500+ businesses around the world
Easily build the basis of your footprint with Xero
Financial data is where most businesses start with their carbon footprint. The slow part is getting that data out, then sorting every line into the right category. Seedling's Xero integration does both for you.
Pull your financial data straight from Xero
No manual CSV exports or copying figures over from Xerp. Once Xero is connected, Seedling brings your spend data in for you, ready to be turned into emissions.
- Connect Xero to Seedling in a few clicks
- Financial data imports automatically, across your chart of accounts
- No spreadsheets to export, clean, or upload
- Refresh your data when you need it
AI maps your spend to the right emission categories
Spend data only becomes a footprint once each line is matched to the correct category and emission factor. Doing that by hand, for 100s or even 1000s of suppiers, is the bit teams dread. Seedling's AI handles this fully, using the account information already in your Xero.
- Categorisation runs on your existing Xero account names and codes
- Spend is mapped to the relevant emission categories automatically
- No manual sorting once your data is in Seedling
- Your Seedling adviser reviews anything unclear before it's confirmed

FAQs
Your questions answered
How does the Xero integration work?
You connect your Xero account to Seedling, and your financial data imports into the platform automatically. Seedling's AI then categorises that spend and maps it to the right emission categories, giving you a spend-based footprint without manual data entry. Your adviser reviews anything ambiguous before your figures are confirmed.
Do I need to categorise my transactions myself?
No. The AI categorises your spend using the account information already set up in your Xero, so the sorting is handled for you. You can adjust any categorisation you're not sure about, and your Seedling adviser is on hand to check anything unclear rather than leaving it to guesswork.
Is a spend-based footprint accurate enough?
Spend-based calculations are a well-established way to build a complete footprint, and a perfectly good starting point. They estimate emissions from what you spent, using industry-average emission factors. To get more precise, you then bring in activity data, the actual energy used, miles driven, or materials bought, in the categories that matter most. Seedling supports both and helps you move between them as your data improves.
What if I don't use Xero?
You can still bring your data in automatically. Alongside Xero, Seedling integrates with QuickBooks and Sage, so most businesses can connect their accounting software directly. If you'd rather not, you can enter data manually or import it from a spreadsheet, with your adviser on hand throughout.
