DirectorWe have switched from using Xero Tracking Categories to keep track of project costs to using Livecosts and things are so much easier now. Implementing POs has allowed us to track our costs much better and makes life easier for the accounts team. Finally, Niall and Patrick are amazingly responsive, always ready to help you through any issues. .

Sue Stretch
Office ManagerWe have been using Livecosts for just over 6 months - I use mainly for Time - employee and monitoring invoices send through from Xero. Livecosts is excellent to use, logical and the support given is first class. My colleagues use for procurement and it has been a game changer for monitoring spend on projects.

On set up we import your Xero Tracking Categories meaning they can be used when posting from LiveCosts to Xero. Xero tracking categories can also be aligned to LiveCosts projects

Yes, on set up all tax rates, accounts, tracking categories, suppliers can be imported in bulk
