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

Wafa

Kimai is my favorite software for tracking time spent on projects I have discovered. I have tried lots of different other solutions, i.e. Sugar CRM, but Kimai’s sweet and neat Web 2.0 usability beats them all. It’s user interface is an inspiring example for every Web developer out there.

If you are not tracking time yet, because it seems so complicated, give Kimai a try. You will love it!

And, best of all, it is open source, and free as in free beer. Enjoy :-)
