Dext Certification is applied across three tiers - Partner, Pioneer, and Pro. Your level is determined by how actively you use our core features to show that you’re getting the most out of Dext.

By moving up the tiers, collecting rewards and gaining badges, you’ll be making your firm stand out from the crowd.

  • A new dashboard in Orange Select. Now you can track your progress, find out how to progress to the next level, claim your rewards, and share your status - all from one place.

  • New opportunities to earn rewards and badges for your firm.

Why the new Dext Certification Programme?

We’ve expanded the capabilities of Dext Prepare (with Receipt Bank) over recent years. The new Certification Programme is designed to reflect that, and to reward you for becoming a product expert. If you were already progressing through the old certification programme, not to worry, your new status will reflect that.

Getting started

Becoming a Dext Partner is the first key milestone in the Certification Programme, designed to get you up and running with the software. You’ll be rewarded for achieving your initial Dext onboarding targets, which means getting your first 3 clients onboard and submitting.

More of your clients active in Dext Prepare

Clients benefit most from Dext when they’re active and regularly submitting their paperwork - allowing you to provide timely financial insights based on up-to-date data. And that means less chasing for you.

Digital submissions

Getting your clients using our digital submission methods (email-in, mobile app and Fetch) is key. It saves time for your clients (no lost or faded receipts) and means you can spend more time providing real-time financial insights.  

Here’s how it all comes together:

  • Your clients are taking pictures of their receipts, bank statements and invoices via the mobile app as soon as expenses are incurred or invoices received.
  • Invoice Fetch is set up to automatically collect your clients' digital invoices from any supplier that bills via an online portal.
  • Clients are forwarding digital documents to their email-in address to be automatically extracted and added to the Costs Inbox.

Automatically and accurately sort, categorise and publish

We’ve built Dext Certification around 2 core features - Supplier Rules and Auto-Publish. 

These allow you to automatically set categories to auto-publish paperwork as soon as it’s submitted. With Prepare, you can set tax rates, currencies and categories for a supplier to avoid costly errors and save valuable time when processing predictable paperwork.

Discover new features

By being of the Dext Certification programme, you’ll be one of the first to hear about our latest product innovations. You’ll also get introduced to our whole range of current features (like Item Messaging) - helping you to fully optimise your firm.

When you become Dext Certified, you’ll be making use of the powerful optimisation tools within our products.
