Xero's latest milestone in trying to make itself indispensible to its small business clients is a partnership with Z Energy.
Z Card customers can sign up to have their invoice data transferred automatically to the software accountancy company, saving them time from having to manually enter transactions.
Although Xero already has similar partnerships with PGG Wrightson and Warehouse Stationery, it is the first time it has enlisted a petrol retailer.
Xero had 119,000 customers in New Zealand at the end of September, up 38 percent from a year earlier, while Z had just over 30 percent of the petrol market in September.
