Sanso + Tiime Integration: Accounting and Invoices in Sync
Tiime Combines Your Business Account, Invoices, and Accounting. But You're Still the One Feeding It
Tiime has carved out a real place among self-employed workers, freelancers, and young very small businesses (TPE) in France. A built-in business account, compliant quotes and invoices, expense reports, basic accounting, cash flow tracking, and, recently, accredited-platform status under France's e-invoicing mandate. Everything in one place, and often for free. If you started out on Tiime, honestly, it was a good choice. Still, a well-designed Tiime integration can make it even more useful as your workload grows.
Tired of feeding Tiime by hand?
Sanso is the service that collects your invoices and does all the work directly in Tiime, so your books stay up to date without a single entry.
Book a CallExcept Tiime is still a tool. However handy it is, it waits to be fed. As long as you were putting through two invoices a month, that fit into a corner of your schedule. But as soon as business takes off, someone still has to go retrieve the supplier invoices scattered across emails and portals, drop them into the tool, weed out duplicates, create client invoices at the right moment, follow up with clients who don't pay, and step in the moment a client disputes an invoice. The tool doesn't do that work for you. It just waits for it.
I'm Amalia Bercot, co-founder and CEO of Sanso. That missing link is exactly what we take care of. Sanso is an AI-powered finance management service: our Tiime integration handles all the feeding, so your accounting and your invoices stay up to date without you keying in a thing.
What Sanso Adds to Your Tiime Integration
Sanso isn't yet another piece of software to learn, and it doesn't replace Tiime: it's a service that works directly in Tiime, so you don't have to. AI is the engine that gets through the work. It collects invoices, reads them, understands them, categorizes them, creates your client invoices, follows up on unpaid invoices, and reconciles your business account. You, meanwhile, have nothing left to key in.
The split of roles is simple. Tiime provides the tool, the business account, and the accounting framework; Sanso does the work inside the tool. A classic automation imports any attachment as if it were an invoice, without even reading it. Sanso's AI actually understands each document before sending it into Tiime. And where a tool fires off an automatic reminder and then stops, Sanso takes collections end to end, disputes included.
Concretely, Sanso connects to your Tiime by API depending on your needs, then operates directly in the tool. Everything the AI processes shows up where you already look every day: your invoices in Tiime, your transactions on your business account. Nothing is hidden, and nothing lives in one more tool to keep an eye on.
How Sanso and Tiime Work Together
Automatic Supplier Invoice Capture
Your supplier invoices come in from all over: by email, on portals (OpenAI, Amazon, energy providers, SaaS tools), sometimes even over WhatsApp. Sanso's AI goes out and gets them on every one of those channels. It plugs into your inbox, reads each message and each attachment, sorts real invoices from quotes and greeting cards, weeds out duplicates, then files the validated invoices in Tiime. When a portal doesn't offer email delivery, an AI agent logs in, navigates to the billing section, and downloads the right documents. On your end, you never log into a portal again.
Reading and Categorization Without Data Entry
Once the invoice is retrieved, the AI reads it and pulls out the key information: amount, VAT, supplier, date, purchase order number, line items. Then it categorizes it based on context, not fixed rules. It spots that an invoice covers several projects and splits the amounts at the right percentages, understands that two different labels mean the same thing, and applies your filing logic. The result: your receipts end up organized and usable in Tiime, with zero data entry on your part.
Invoice Validation Before Payment
Before a supplier invoice is approved, the AI checks three things: that it isn't a duplicate, that the amount matches the quote or the purchase order, and that the VAT is consistent. The slightest anomaly gets flagged before it turns into an overpayment. And if you'd like, you keep control over final payment approval from your Tiime business account.
Still keying in every invoice?
Sanso's AI reads, understands, and categorizes your invoices before pushing them into Tiime, with no re-keying on your end.
Book a CallClient Invoice Creation and Sending
In small businesses, about 5% of invoices simply never get created: the work got done, but nobody thought to bill it. Sanso, for its part, is plugged into your tools (CRM, project management, email) and knows when a project has wrapped up and needs to be invoiced. The AI prepares the invoice in Tiime, checks it against the quote to make sure nothing has been left out, and sends it. You approve it right before it goes out, if you want to.
End-to-End Unpaid Invoice Collection
An automatic payment reminder knows how to send an email. What it can't do is react when the client replies "that's not the right amount" or "you invoiced the wrong entity." Sanso can. Collections are personalized and multichannel: email, SMS, phone. When a client disputes an invoice, the AI goes and checks the quote in your CRM; if the wrong entity was invoiced, it reissues the invoice and follows the payment through to collection. Every case is seen through to the end, not just given one reminder for form's sake.
Real-Time Bank Reconciliation
Since the business account is built into Tiime, your incoming payments and your outgoing ones live in the same place as your invoices. Sanso's AI takes advantage of that: for each transaction, it finds the matching purchase or sales invoice and updates the status. And it handles the cases classic automatic reconciliation leaves aside: currency differences, transaction labels that don't match the invoice wording, timing gaps of a few days. At any moment, you know who has paid and what's still owed, without ticking through your statements line by line.
Who This Tiime Integration Is For
- Self-employed workers and growing very small businesses who started on Tiime and are watching finance admin overflow as activity picks up.
- Business owners who spend their evenings on invoicing when they'd rather put that time into their clients or their craft.
- Independent professionals, consultants, and freelancers who want to keep Tiime but stop chasing supplier invoices and unpaid ones.
- Companies hesitant to hire a dedicated finance person: the volume doesn't justify a full-time role, but the admin piles up anyway.
- Small teams where the same person sells the project and then has to chase the client for payment, at the risk of damaging the business relationship.
