AI & Custom Integration Examples

Beyond system-to-system connections, we build custom AI solutions and interfaces powered by Reckon data.

Smart GST Classification

AI analyses line item descriptions to automatically determine correct GST treatment. Mixed supplies, exempt items, and taxable goods are classified correctly without manual review, reducing BAS errors.

Invoice Anomaly Detection

Machine learning identifies invoices that deviate from normal patterns - unusually high amounts, atypical customers, or missing information. Flags potential errors before they affect your books.

Cash Flow Prediction

AI analyses payment history patterns to predict when invoices will likely be paid. Helps with cash flow planning and identifies customers who may need payment reminders.

Expense Categorisation

Natural language processing automatically categorises expenses based on merchant names and descriptions. Learns from your corrections to improve accuracy over time.

Integration Prerequisites

Reckon One account with API access enabled
API credentials (Client ID and Secret) from Reckon Developer Portal
Understanding of your Reckon chart of accounts
