Project billing with QR-bill: from time tracking to invoice in one tool

Updated: 2026-10

In short

Billing projects by effort requires tight links between time tracking, planning and invoicing. When this data sits in three tools, hours get lost and invoices are delayed. An integrated solution brings project, recorded time and Swiss QR-bill together.

Many agencies, consultancies and IT service firms run projects in one tool, track time in a second and write invoices in a third. At month end, hours are exported, reconciled and transferred by hand. Billable work gets lost, and invoices go out later than they could.

For Swiss customers, invoices also need a correct QR-bill when not paid by card. Tools without a Swiss focus often do not cover this.

How it works

  1. 01

    Set up projects and tasks

    Run projects in the right view — list, Kanban, timeline or calendar — on the same data.

  2. 02

    Track time directly

    Book hours to tasks and projects without switching to a separate tool.

  3. 03

    Plan resources

    See team utilisation and plan projects realistically before bottlenecks arise.

  4. 04

    Create an invoice with QR part

    Turn recorded work into an invoice with a Swiss QR-bill.

Why it fits here

Flenio combines project management with integrated PSA: time tracking, resource planning and Swiss QR-bill in one tool, instead of copying data between systems.

Four views on the same data adapt to how the team works, and the AI assistant knows the workspace’s status, risks and priorities. What makes a correct QR-bill is described in the glossary entry on the Swiss QR-bill.

FAQ

Do I still need accounting software?

For financial accounting, usually yes. Flenio covers project, time and invoicing; bookkeeping happens in your accounting system.

Does this suit fixed-price projects too?

Yes. Even with fixed prices, time tracking helps follow a project’s profitability and estimate future proposals better.

Where is the data stored?

Information on hosting and data protection is on flenio.ch; it is worth checking it against your own requirements before rollout.
