How CariNota Integrates Seamlessly with Xero, Jurnal, and More

Managing business documents is already hard enough — receipts, invoices, bills, and payment confirmations pile up fast. But the real bottleneck comes when all this data needs to be pushed into your accounting platform. Whether you use Xero, Jurnal.id, or Accurate, chances are you're still uploading PDFs, entering numbers manually, or chasing down files from your team.

This is where CariNota steps in — a smart AI assistant that handles your documents from upload to accounting entry. It’s not just storage; it’s a bridge between the chaos of daily paperwork and the structured world of accounting.

Let’s explore exactly how CariNota integrates with Indonesia’s most popular accounting tools — and why that’s a game changer for time-strapped business owners.

The Accounting Problem Most SMEs Don’t Talk About

Even after switching to cloud-based accounting like Jurnal or Xero, most small and mid-sized businesses still do a surprising amount of manual work:

  • Scan or photograph bills, save them to Google Drive
  • Rename files manually to match internal SOPs
  • Upload the right document into Xero/Jurnal per transaction
  • Re-type vendor names, invoice numbers, and totals
  • Match documents during reconciliation

Each of these steps wastes time and opens the door to errors. For businesses that handle dozens or hundreds of documents a day, especially in F&B and hospitality sectors, this becomes a serious operational drag.

How CariNota Connects to Your Accounting Tool

CariNota’s accounting integration eliminates this bottleneck entirely. Here’s how it works:

  1. Upload or forward a document (photo, PDF, scan) to CariNota
  2. CariNota extracts the key data: vendor, invoice number, amount, tax type
  3. It renames the file and sorts it to the right folder
  4. With one click, the document + metadata is sent to your accounting platform (Xero, Jurnal, Accurate, or custom ERP)
  5. In your accounting software, it’s ready for reconciliation, matching, or approval workflows

✅ Supported Platforms

  • Xero: Upload as a bill, receipt, or spend money transaction
  • Jurnal.id: Auto-fill invoice or expense fields, with synced attachments
  • Accurate: Structured uploads with tags and document metadata
  • Custom Integrations: For companies using ERP or proprietary finance tools

Real Use Cases

Case 1: Restaurant Chain Using [Jurnal.id](http://jurnal.id/)

A Bali-based restaurant group with 7 outlets uses Jurnal.id for accounting. Their admin team now uses CariNota to process:

  • Supplier invoices (tagged and pushed into Jurnal)
  • Daily cash-out receipts (logged as petty cash expenses)
  • Utility bills (mapped by branch and cost center)

This has reduced their manual accounting uploads by 90%.

Case 2: Hospitality Business Using Xero

A boutique hotel with villas in Ubud switched from Google Drive + manual entry to CariNota + Xero. Now:

  • All incoming receipts are emailed or uploaded to CariNota
  • The platform extracts and maps the data
  • Files are sent to Xero as spend transactions or expense claims

No more switching tabs, downloading, or double entry.

Integration Benefits

  • Accuracy: No more typos or mislinked invoices
  • Speed: 10x faster than manual upload and entry
  • Centralization: All financial docs in one dashboard
  • Audit-Ready: Each file is traceable and version-controlled
  • Branch-Level Control: Assign files per outlet or department

Setup in Minutes

Getting started is easy. CariNota’s setup takes less than 30 minutes:

  1. Authorize your accounting tool via API
  2. Map your document types to transaction types (e.g. invoice, bill, cash-out)
  3. Customize naming, foldering, and tagging SOPs
  4. Start uploading — or simply forward emails from vendors

Who Should Use It?

This setup is ideal for:

  • Multi-outlet restaurants with 100+ daily receipts
  • Hotels and villa groups with centralized accounting
  • Import/export businesses dealing with lots of scanned invoices
  • Event companies or agencies with multiple cost centers
  • Nightclubs and beach clubs that process cash-intensive transactions

If you're using Xero, Jurnal, or Accurate and still handling files manually, CariNota will save you time, money, and stress.
