How Pulsify works

1

AI codes every line as it reads it

Upload or email an invoice and Pulsify extracts every line item and assigns the account code, GST treatment, and cost centre in the same pass, from your supplier history. Not just the amounts, the full coding, on every plan.

2

Bank details and ABNs validated automatically

BSBs and account numbers are checked against historical records. ABNs are verified against the Australian Business Register. Duplicates are caught before approval.

3

Unlimited approval steps with sequential, parallel, and conditional routing

Branch by amount or supplier. No cap on the number of steps. Approvers see a fully coded, validated invoice.

4

Fully coded invoices sync to Xero or MYOB

Line items, codes, GST, and supplier details push directly to your ledger. No re-keying, no export/import.

Why teams switch to Pulsify

Pulsify saves hours each week by auto-coding line items and flagging issues like duplicates, GST errors, and mismatches before bills hit the ledger.

Indiana Advisory

I need this for import and shipping costs which have all sorts of GST, non-GST, part GST requirements, so Pulsify solves the complications of finding this and breaking it down at the end of each quarter for the accountant. Having previously used Dext, getting this detail was an extra expense and assigning costs was much more work.

Frequently asked questions

What is the main difference between Pulsify and Dext?
Dext captures invoices and extracts header data for you to code and approve manually. Pulsify codes every line, including GST, validates supplier details, and routes approvals automatically. Dext speeds up intake. Pulsify automates the work that comes after.
Does Dext code invoice line items?
Dext's line-item extraction is a paid add-on that consumes credits, and it extracts amounts rather than account and tax codes. Pulsify codes every line, including per-line GST, on every plan, using your existing chart of accounts.
Is Pulsify a good Dext alternative for Xero and MYOB?
Yes. Pulsify connects directly to Xero and MYOB, imports your coding history, and works from the first invoice. Most teams switch in about a day without rebuilding rules or their chart of accounts.
Can Pulsify handle multi-step approvals?
Yes. Pulsify supports sequential, parallel, and conditional approval routing, and you can branch by amount or supplier. Dext's approval workflow is linear with a limited number of stages.
