Manual AP is bleeding

20 hours
Hours lost each week to keying invoices
Sentinel Homes got 20 hours a week back even as invoice volumes grew. Manual capture doesn't scale with growth — it becomes a bottleneck.
14 days
Approval lag from chasing PMs by email
Invoices sit in inboxes, get forwarded, get lost. By the time they're approved and coded, the project's a fortnight older and the budget snapshot is stale.
0%
Confidence in cost-to-complete forecasts
Without invoices flowing through the day they arrive, your committed-cost reporting is a guess. Real margin protection needs real-time data.
How It Works
Four steps. No data entry. Done by 9:42am.
Lentune sits between your accounts inbox and your accounting system, pulling invoices, matching them to purchase orders and packing slips, routing approvals, and posting payments. You manage the exceptions; the software does the rest.
Step 01
Capture

Lentune pulls supplier invoices straight from your accounts payable inbox and extracts every line: supplier, project, code, amount, GST. No more typing.

Step 02
Match

Each invoice matches to its purchase order and packing slip. Lentune price-checks line items against agreed supplier rates and flags variances for you.

Step 03
Approve

Invoices route to the right project manager, QS or finance lead automatically. Review and approve. Need to query? Supplier communication is built in.

Step 04
Sync

Approved invoices post to Xero (or MYOB, Procore, Simpro) with copies of the invoice attached. Your committed-cost view updates live. Month-end closes in 1–3 days.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common questions from Kiwi construction teams

Still have something specific? Book a 30-minute demo and we'll talk through your setup.

How long does Lentune take to set up?

Most teams are live in 8–12 weeks. We start with a discovery call to map your approval workflow, then run a personalised onboarding plan — chart of accounts, cost codes, approver hierarchy, supplier list, integrations. You're capturing invoices end-to-end before the second month-end.

Will it work with the way our approvals run?

Yes. Lentune mirrors your existing approval chain — PM first, then QS, then finance, or whatever your sequence is. We configure routing per project, per supplier or per cost code. The software adapts to how your team already works.

Which accounting and construction systems does it integrate with?

Xero and MYOB on the accounting side; Procore, Simpro, Jobpac Connect and CostCon on construction management. Xero is our deepest integration with two-way sync.

 
What about variations, retentions and CCA compliance?

Lentune tracks variations and retentions alongside the original commitment, with a clear audit trail. For Construction Contracts Act compliance, claims are built from real project data with evidence, variations and retention attached — accurate, defensible, on-time.

What financial reporting can Lentune provide?

A real human gets in touch within one business day to understand your business challenges. We run a 45-minute platform tour to give you a high-level overview of the system, then you can decide if its a fit.

 
How do you price it?

A Lentune subscription is billed monthly with a 12-month term. We don't charge per user, or by turnover, but by the modules you take and the volume of documents run through them. It's a simpler, smarter way to bill that means you always know what to expect.
