We're Hiring ... PHP Developers

Yesterday in Brisbane, the Dcode Group team had the privilege of attending #XeroDevDay 2025, marking the return of in-person developer events for Xero. As long-time integration partners - having built custom workflows spanning invoices, payroll, journal entries, and more - it was especially rewarding to engage directly with the Xero team, share feedback on APIs, and explore ways to bridge gaps in the App Marketplace with tailored integration solutions.

Australia’s productivity growth has slowed to its weakest pace in 60 years. Regulatory complexity, increasing red tape, and declining business investment have created real challenges for growth. The Reserve Bank of Australia warns that if current trends continue, full-time workers could be A$14,000 worse off by 2035. But while macro challenges like regulation and policy reform are largely out of your control, how you run your business isn’t. The right investment in technology can unlock efficiency gains, reduce waste, and improve margins - even when the broader economy slows. At Dcode Group, we’ve worked with businesses across industries to design and implement custom software solutions that transform how they operate. And time and again, we’ve seen the same four areas where technology has a direct and measurable impact.

Manual payroll processing is one of the most time-consuming, error-prone tasks for growing businesses. When your team logs their time in one system and your accountant runs payroll in another, things inevitably slip through the cracks - especially as headcounts grow and timesheets multiply. That's why we build custom integrations that sync timesheets directly into Xero's payroll engine, automating what used to be a clunky, manual, and risky process.

When it comes to managing people, resources, and deadlines, one-size-fits-all scheduling software often falls short. Every business has its own way of assigning tasks, tracking progress, and coordinating teams - and that’s where bespoke scheduling tools shine.
