Kimai · AIPriv

    Time tracking and invoicingthat won't eat your evenings.

    We implement Kimai — an open time-tracking, project, and invoicing tool. We configure it around your team, clients, and billing setup, then hand over a fully ready system that's yours to keep.

    What Kimai does

    One tool, many use cases

    From a simple stopwatch for a freelancer to a full billing system for multiple teams and clients. We only configure what you actually need.

    Time tracking

    Recording time by project, client, and task. A "punch in / punch out" mode as an alternative to manual entry — your team doesn't have to remember to log hours at the end of the day.

    Invoicing

    Invoices generated directly from recorded time — templates, your own numbering, export to PDF, DOCX, XLSX, and ODS. Zero copying data from a spreadsheet into an invoice.

    Rates and budgets

    Different hourly rates for different clients, projects, and people. Project budgets with limits — you see when a project is starting to lose money before it's over.

    Reports and analytics

    Time analysis by client, project, team, and tags. You see which projects are profitable and which are quietly eating your time for free.

    Teams and permissions

    Roles, teams, and access restricted to your own projects. From a sole proprietorship to an organization with multiple departments — no limit on user accounts.

    Login and security

    Two-factor authentication (2FA), SSO login via Google Workspace or Azure AD, LDAP integration — sign-in that matches what you've already set up at your company.

    Mobile and everywhere

    Fully responsive plus a dedicated mobile app. Log time from your phone on a job site, at a client's office, or on the road — not just from a desk.

    Integrations and API

    An open JSON API and a plugin marketplace. We connect Kimai to your accounting software, CRM (including Open Mercato), or the project tools you already use.

    How we implement

    From audit to a working system in 3–4 weeks

    We don't start with installation. First we check how you bill time and projects today — that shapes the whole setup.

    01WEEK 1

    Audit of your current time-tracking

    We check how you currently bill time and projects — spreadsheets, another system, or rough estimates — and where you're losing the most on invoicing and reporting.

    You get: a configuration plan tailored to your clients and projects.

    02WEEK 1–2

    Installation and setup

    We set up Kimai — self-hosted on your server or Kimai Cloud — and configure users, teams, projects, clients, and hourly rates.

    You get: a ready environment, matched to your team's structure.

    03WEEK 2–3

    Invoicing and integrations

    We set up an invoice template with your branding, numbering rules, and integrations — SSO/LDAP login, data export, connecting to your accounting software.

    You get: one-click invoicing, with no re-typing of data.

    04WEEK 3–4

    Data migration and training

    We migrate history from spreadsheets or your previous system and run a short training session on day-to-day use.

    Your team can use the system from day one.

    05END OF THE IMPLEMENTATION

    Handover of the ready system

    We hand over a fully configured, tested system — you keep using it on your own from here, with no dependency on us.

    You get: your own time-tracking and invoicing system, for good.

    The end result: your own system, not a subscription to us

    The implementation ends with a handover — we configure Kimai around your team and clients, migrate your data, train your people, and then hand you a ready, working system. From there, you use it on your own, with no dependency on us and no fee for us "running" it.

    Use cases

    Who Kimai works well for

    Every industry bills time differently. We shape the setup around how you actually work with clients.

    Billing developer and designer hours to clients, invoicing by sprint or milestone, project budgets with alerts.
