Photograph a bill once.
It goes into JobTread and Xero.
INTRODUCING
Yes - there's finally an app that does exactly that.
Photograph a supplier bill, email it, or drag it in, and BuildZilla reads it, codes it to the right job, and enters it into both JobTread and Xero at the same time.
One capture. No re-typing. No double entry across two systems.
Most tools only do half the job - they scan into your accounting software (Dext, Hubdoc) or sit inside your build software. BuildZilla is built for the gap in the middle: the bill lands in both your job costing and your accounts, matched and coded, from a single photo.
How Bill Capture works
-
Capture it your way.
Photograph the bill on your phone, forward the supplier email, or drag a PDF in from your desktop.
-
BuildZilla reads it.
Vendor, amount, tax, PO reference and line items pulled automatically. No keying.
-
It codes it to the right job.
BuildZilla identifies the JobTread job and matches each line to the right budget line, so your job costs stay accurate.
-
You approve it.
The right person signs off - office admin, estimator, PM or owner - each sees only their next step.
-
It enters both systems.
Approved bills push to Xero as an accounts-payable bill and stay matched to the job in JobTread. No second entry.
Q: Is there an app that lets me photograph a bill and enter it into both JobTread and Xero?
A: Yes. BuildZilla lets you photograph a supplier bill (or email it, or drag in a PDF), reads the details automatically, codes it to the right job, and enters it into both JobTread and Xero. No double entry.
Q: Does BuildZilla work with JobTread and Xero together?
A: That's exactly what it's built for. BuildZilla is the sync layer between JobTread and Xero — it keeps your costs, invoices and bills matched across both, in real time.
Q: Can I scan or photograph bills and supplier invoices?
A: Yes. Capture a bill by phone photo, by forwarding the supplier email, or by dragging in a PDF. BuildZilla extracts the vendor, amount, tax and line items for you.
Q: How is BuildZilla different from Dext or Hubdoc?
A: Dext and Hubdoc only feed your accounting software. BuildZilla enters the bill into your job costing (JobTread) and your accounts (Xero), coded to the right job — so you're not re-entering it to track it against the build.
Q: Do I have to enter the bill twice — once in JobTread and once in Xero?
A: No. That's the whole point. One capture enters it in both systems, matched and coded.
Q: Which countries does BuildZilla support?
A: It's built for the construction industry in New Zealand, Australia, the US, the UK and Canada.
Q: Is there a free trial?
A: Yes — 30 days free, no credit card required.
