What Bilanzi adds

In Bilanzi this is part of the program, with the plan it comes with. Every feature is listed on the Pricing and features page.

  • The AI suggests the entry

    Bilanzi reads the receipt and suggests the entry. Nothing is posted until you confirm it. The AI runs in Switzerland, at Infomaniak in Geneva.

    From Plus, pay per use

  • Receipts by email

    Your business has its own address for receipts. Send receipts there as attachments. Suppliers you allow send their invoices straight to your receipt inbox.

    In Free

  • Receipts by WhatsApp

    Connect your mobile number and send receipts as a photo or PDF to Bilanzi on WhatsApp, and one button in the chat books the suggestion. There you also draft invoices, quotes and entries, prepare reminder runs, ask questions by voice and get reminders of the VAT deadline, payments and open receipts. Meta and Twilio process the messages, partly in the United States.

    From Plus

  • Expenses

    Out-of-pocket spending is claimed with a photo of the receipt. Once it is approved, you pay it back.

    In Free

  • Signed work reports

    Record hours and materials on your phone. The customer signs right on the screen. Then you bill the report from the job.

    In Free

  • The next 90 days

    See week by week what reaches your account and what goes out: open invoices, invoices from templates and salaries. You know early where money gets tight. On the first of each month an email reminds you, if you like.
