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.
Connect Unleashed to your accounting and eCommerce systems. Production runs become journal entries. Sales become invoices. BOM costs feed COGS automatically.
Perth-based. Australia-wide. Fixed-price quotes.
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.
Three stages. No surprises. Your live Unleashed data stays untouched until cutover — delivered personally by the founder.
Week 0
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.
Weeks 1–N
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.
Cutover
Production cutover on a planned window — typically a weekend. Team training, monitoring active, 30 days post-launch support. Documentation and source code handed over in full.
Unleashed handles inventory and production well. But accounting and multi-system complexity create gaps.
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.
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.
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.
Each product has a BOM. Material costs change with each purchase. Calculating current product cost means updating a spreadsheet, not using live system data.
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.
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.
Tell us what systems you are running and what is not connecting properly. We map the gap, find what needs to be built, and give you a fixed-price quote before you commit to anything.

We manufacture skincare products with 300+ SKUs. Unleashed handles production and stock brilliantly, but accounting was a mess. HelloPeople built an integration that turns production runs into journal entries and sales into Xero invoices. BOM costs update automatically. Our month-end close went from five days to one.
Unleashed is popular with manufacturers and distributors. Integration needs differ by production complexity.
Recipe-based BOMs with variable yields. Batch tracking for recall traceability. Expiry management. Production costs flowing into accounting for margin analysis.
Batch-tracked raw ingredients assembled into finished products. TGA compliance data maintained. Subscription and wholesale order channels connected.
Complex BOMs with sub-assemblies. Long lead times for components. Stock spread across factory and warehouse. Production scheduling linked to sales orders.
Large product catalogues with customer-specific pricing. Multi-warehouse fulfilment. Purchase order management with landed costs for imported goods.
TGA-compliant batch tracking for every product. Subscription orders from eCommerce synced with production planning. Expiry management critical.
Vintage and blend tracking. Cellar inventory managed by location and maturation stage. Excise reporting connected to accounting. DTC and trade channels separated.
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.
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.
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.
A single integration takes 4 to 8 weeks. Full production-to-accounting setups with reporting typically take 8 to 14 weeks.
