At the core of IncoDocs is a robust Autofill engine which lets you copy or "autofill" information into your document from a previously created document in IncoDocs, or from your Xero or QuickBooks Online accounts.

This is perfect for:

  • Handling documents for repeat orders

  • Converting regular invoices in Xero or QuickBooks to Proforma/Commercial Invoices in IncoDocs.

  • Fast-tracking the creation of export documents by pulling key information from a relevant pre-shipment invoice.

  • Converting a Quote into a ready-to-send Proforma or Commercial Invoice
