Dext’s Global Product Update Q3 – The Round-up
It’s been a busy few months at Dext, with new innovations designed to help you cut down on admin, stay compliant and get more done, whether you’re running a business or supporting one.
Built for Bigger Things: a message from Sabby Gill
Dext CEO Sabby Gill opened the update with a clear message: admin is a tax on ambition. It drains time, energy and focus, and it’s hitting harder than ever.
New research from over 2,000 SMB leaders reveals nearly half feel today’s climate is tougher than during Covid. One in four spend more than 20 hours a month on financial admin, with many questioning whether the effort is still worth it.
Despite a global slowdown and rising costs, there's a strong appetite for change. Over half of SMBs are exploring AI and investing in smarter ways to work. Sabby’s message was simple: Dext is here to help accountants, bookkeepers and businesses cut through the noise and focus on what matters: growth, clarity or time back.
AI: Beyond the Hype, Built for Impact
Stephen Edginton, Chief Product and Technology Officer, shifted the focus from hype to action. With AI tools launching almost weekly, Dext is already applying the technology where it counts: over 173 million receipts and invoices processed with 99% accuracy, bank statements returned in under ten minutes, and more than five million line items handled.
This is AI built for everyday work, helping teams move faster, reduce errors and make better decisions. And as Stephen noted, this is just the beginning. The ones acting now will stay ahead.
Dext + Airwallex: Integrated Payments
Dext has partnered with global payments provider Airwallex to launch integrated payments, a major step toward effortless financial admin.
You’ll be able to manage, approve and complete supplier payments within Dext, without switching software. From invoice upload to payment reconciliation, everything happens in one place with built-in checks, multi-currency support and real-time visibility. Support for payroll payments will follow, adding even more flexibility. The result: tighter control over cash flow, fewer delays and less admin.
New in Dext
UK VAT Checking with Name Validation
Dext now extracts VAT numbers from invoices and checks them against HMRC records. It flags invalid entries and highlights when supplier names don’t closely match official records, helping reduce fraud, improve accuracy and stay compliant.
Copy & Paste
You can now copy documents straight from your desktop and paste them into Document Upload in Dext, no downloading, dragging or browsing needed.
Supplier Aliases
You can now create supplier aliases in Dext to link name variations to the correct supplier. This ensures consistency and means the right supplier name is published to your accounting software, reducing the need for manual corrections.
Enhanced Integration with MYOB
Sync products from MYOB to Dext, publish ABNs and payment data, and use Paperwork Match, all with fewer steps and better data consistency.
MTD Dashboard for Dext Solo - Partner (🇬🇧 only)
A single view of all your MTD IT clients, built for HMRC-recognised filing. Easily track deadlines, manage submissions and stay on top of progress.
Coming Soon
WhatsApp Integration
You’ll soon be able to send documents to Dext via WhatsApp, no mobile app required. Dext will appear as a contact, so receipts and invoices can be sent through an app many already use. You’ll also be able to communicate about specific documents directly in WhatsApp, making it easier to ask questions or confirm details.
Prepayments
Prepayments will automatically generate journals in Xero to spread costs over the right reporting period. Partners using Data Health & Insights will be able to track balances to ensure they’re recognised at the right time. More integrations and AI-powered detection are on the way.
Vault for Mobile
Vault is coming to mobile, bringing intelligent, AI-powered document storage wherever you are. It helps you organise, find and manage files faster. Included in all Dext plans.
