What it doesn&rsquo;t do on its own is everything that has to happen <em>before</em> a bill is ready to pay. Someone has to collect it, key it in, code it, check it against what was ordered, and get it approved by the right person.</p> <p>In most small and mid-sized businesses, that work is still manual. Bills arrive in five different inboxes, get printed, sit on someone&rsquo;s desk, and are entered into Xero the week before the payment run. That&rsquo;s where errors, late fees, and duplicate payments come from.</p>
