Case Study: Ordo achieves secure invoicing and faster payments with Codat

Codat helps Ordo customers issue invoices securely and get paid faster

Ordo, founded in 2018 to help businesses feel more in control of their finances, faced slow, manual payment processes that cost business owners nearly 10 hours a week, exposed them to invoice fraud (£114.1m lost in 2019), and created cash‑flow headaches. To address this, Ordo partnered with Codat, using Codat’s API to connect with accounting platforms like QuickBooks, Sage and Xero.

Using Codat’s API, Ordo pulls receivables directly from customers’ accounting systems, sends invoices securely (showing payers exactly who they’re paying), automatically reconciles payments and credits funds straight to bank accounts via Open Banking and Faster Payments. The Codat-enabled solution reduces admin time, lowers fraud risk, and delivers immediate cash availability—improving cash flow, cutting costs and getting businesses paid the moment a customer pays.
