One system for clients, offers, time and invoices
troi ai·on keeps clients, offers, time and invoices in one record, so an hour or an offer is entered once. Invoicing and the DATEV export are part of the Intelligence plan.
Legally compliant invoicing
Invoices go out in the ZUGFeRD and XRechnung formats, the export to accounting is DATEV compliant, and documents are filed in a GoBD-compliant way. Billable hours are flagged for the invoice run. E-invoices and the DATEV export are part of the Intelligence plan.
Margins in view, with AI that learns from your own projects
troi ai·on proposes the hours for a new quote from comparable finished projects and shows revenue, contribution and margin by client, project and service, both in the Intelligence plan. Budget consumption and remaining effort come with project structures in the Performance plan. The AI learns only from your own offers, projects and decisions.
Hosted in Austria
troi ai·on runs as software as a service in the EU, in Austria, with hosting partner Digimagical on 100 percent green electricity. troi is GDPR compliant.
