Why does one connected platform with AI pay off?
One record from client to DATEV export
troi ai·on keeps clients and suppliers, offers, time tracking, invoices and the DATEV export in one record, so an hour, a receipt or an offer is entered once. Clients and suppliers, offers and time tracking are part of every plan. E-invoices and the DATEV export are part of the Intelligence plan, projects are part of the Performance 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. E-invoices and the DATEV export are part of the Intelligence plan.
AI that learns from your own projects
troi ai·on looks at how comparable work ran on finished projects and proposes the hours for a new quote line. You see the proposal and decide whether to keep it. This is part of the Intelligence plan. The AI learns only from your organization’s own offers, projects and decisions.
Data hosted in the EU
troi ai·on is software as a service. Data is hosted in the EU, in Austria, with troi’s hosting partner Digimagical on 100 percent green electricity. troi is GDPR compliant.
