Two different jobs: Xero is dedicated accounting software. Allvio is a full business system that happens to include accounting.
Xero is well-regarded, dedicated accounting software: invoicing, expenses, bank feeds and BAS, with a large marketplace of apps that connect to it for everything else. If accounting is the only system a business needs to run, Xero is a strong choice on its own.
Allvio takes a different approach: accounting is one of twelve apps that share the same customer records, sales data and staff list from the start, alongside POS, online ordering, reservations, CRM and payroll. There's no export from a till or a reservation system into Allvio's books: it's the same record.
