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).’

Just a great app that is used in our company. It does not require a lot of resources on the server, has a great interface and a lot of features that are so necessary in everyday work.

Kimai combines usability and high data protection standards - a rare find in project management tools. Easy to setup and use right away, with many options for adapting it to specific needs and processes. One tip for first-users: Projects have to be set up in Administration in order to be able to start time tracking - so far that’s the only thing that got me searching.

Great work!

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. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 ❤️
