Kimai is my most beloved business tool!

My real world problem would be automating this sequence I do: prepare a “time only” “invoice” pdf in kimai and send it zapier, create an e-invoice in “Fatture in Cloud” with the timesheet attached (can’t use kimai, e-invoice mandatory).’

It is a great app, I will say I am not using it yet all its future, but to track my working hours it is working like magic. Customer service is also helpful and fast-responding, I recommend it to any new freelancer, because of its suitable price!. Thank you

I want to say you thank you for this amazing tool you have build. Kimai is great for many purposes and I’m sure you can keep improving a great business with it. I found it a few years ago (in 2021), looking for some tools to make my life easier when i have to make everyday time tracking. So that’s the unique thing i use from Kimai.

Alberto Lasaga Orio

At this point, I would like to say a big thank you to Kimai. Any queries you may have are answered promptly, politely and competently. For us as a small provider of social services, it’s great that we can use such a professional programme as a basic version free of charge. Even if paid modules are added, it’s a good feeling to know that the money is going to a dedicated, small software company. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 ❤️
