Unleashed Integration

Unleashed API Integration Services

Unleashed is the go-to inventory and manufacturing system for Australian producers and distributors. It handles raw materials, BOMs, production runs, stock tracking and fulfilment. But your accountant works in Xero. Your customers order through Shopify. And the two worlds rarely meet cleanly.

We build custom Unleashed integrations that handle what the native Xero sync cannot. Production assemblies and disassemblies reflected as proper journal entries. BOM-based COGS flowing into accounting. Three-way purchase order matching. Multi-warehouse inventory valuation.

HELLO PEOPLE is a Perth-based software consultancy. We work with manufacturers, food producers, distributors and product businesses across Australia, connecting Unleashed to accounting and sales so the numbers match and the reporting is useful.

How it runs

An Unleashed integration project, end to end

Three stages. No surprises. Your live Unleashed data stays untouched until cutover — delivered personally by the founder.

  1. Week 0

    Unleashed Integration Audit

    15-minute scoping call. We map your Unleashed setup, the systems you need it connected to (or migrated to), and the specific workflow gaps. Fixed-price quote inside 48 hours.

  2. Weeks 1–N

    Build & Parallel-Run

    Integration built in a sandbox and parallel-run against your live Unleashed data for two weeks. Every record mapping, field translation and validation rule verified before production. No risk to live data.

What Unleashed users tell us

Unleashed handles inventory and production well. But accounting and multi-system complexity create gaps.

Unleashed stock data and accounting are out of sync

Unleashed manages raw materials, WIP and finished goods. Xero or MYOB manages the money. The two systems show different numbers because stock movements are processed manually.

Production runs create accounting headaches

Raw materials consumed. Finished goods created. Work in progress tracked. But translating production data into journal entries, COGS and inventory valuation in accounting takes hours.

Purchase orders in Unleashed and bills in accounting do not match

Supplier orders placed in Unleashed. Stock received in Unleashed. But the bill in Xero is created separately, sometimes with different amounts. Three-way matching is manual.

Bill of materials costing is a spreadsheet exercise

Each product has a BOM. Material costs change with each purchase. Calculating current product cost means updating a spreadsheet, not using live system data.

Batch and serial tracking disconnected from sales

Unleashed tracks batches and serial numbers. But when a customer calls about a specific batch, finding the sales order and invoice means searching two systems.

The Unleashed-Xero sync stopped working properly

Unleashed has a built-in Xero connection. It works when the setup is simple. But multi-warehouse, multi-currency, BOM assembly and landed cost break the native sync regularly.

What We Build

Unleashed Integration Workflows

Manufacturing, inventory and financials connected for Australian producers.

Unleashed sales to accounting invoices

Sales orders dispatched in Unleashed become invoices in Xero or MYOB. Products mapped to line items. Pricing and discounts applied. GST and tracking categories set automatically.

Handles B2B orders with trade pricing and payment terms, as well as marketplace orders from Shopify or WooCommerce channels.

Manufacturing and assembly sync

Production orders in Unleashed — assemblies, disassemblies, transfers — generate corresponding journal entries in accounting. Raw material consumption reduces inventory value. Finished goods increase it.

Multi-stage production supported. WIP tracked as a separate inventory category. Waste and yield variances captured.

PO to bill with goods received matching

Purchase orders in Unleashed flow to accounting as draft bills. Goods receipt in Unleashed updates the bill. Three-way matching between PO, receipt and supplier invoice.

Landed costs — freight, duty, clearance — allocated to stock items and reflected in accounting. Supplier credit notes handled.

Stock valuation and COGS sync

Inventory valuation in Unleashed — weighted average or FIFO — syncs with accounting. COGS calculated per-sale using actual costs. Inventory adjustments and write-offs reflected.

BOM-based costing updated as material purchase prices change. Finished goods costs reflect current input costs, not historical estimates.

Cross-system manufacturing reporting

Unleashed production data combined with accounting revenue and costs in Power BI. Product margin by SKU. Batch yield. Supplier lead time. Inventory turns. Cash flow from operations.

Updated daily. The manufacturing KPIs that matter, without spreadsheets.

FAQs

Common questions about Unleashed integration

Unleashed has a Xero integration. Why custom?

The native sync handles basic setups. If you have production/assembly, multi-warehouse, landed costs or complex pricing, the native integration creates journal entry issues and inventory valuation mismatches. Custom integration handles your specific manufacturing setup.

Can you connect Unleashed to both Shopify and Xero?

Yes. Orders from Shopify flow to Unleashed for fulfilment. Unleashed generates invoices and COGS entries in Xero. Inventory syncs back to Shopify. A very common three-way setup.

How much does an Unleashed integration cost?

Pricing depends on the systems involved, the volume of data and the exception cases. We provide a fixed-price quote after a 15-minute scoping call — no hourly billing, no surprises.

How long does it take?

A single integration takes 4 to 8 weeks. Full production-to-accounting setups with reporting typically take 8 to 14 weeks.

Do you handle BOM-based costing?

Yes. Bill of materials with multi-level sub-assemblies, variable yield rates and changing input costs are fully supported. Product costs recalculated as material prices change.

Can you handle batch and serial tracking?

Yes. Batch numbers and serial numbers from Unleashed carry through to invoices, shipping documents and customer records. Full traceability maintained.
