Sanso + Tiime Integration: Accounting and Invoices in Sync

Tiime integration by Sanso: AI handles invoice capture, client invoicing, and bank reconciliation

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.

Except 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.

Client 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.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to leave Tiime to use Sanso?
No. Sanso works directly in Tiime, not instead of it. You keep your business account, your invoicing tool, and your habits. Sanso's AI simply feeds Tiime and does the work the tool expects from you.
How do I connect Tiime to Sanso?
The connection is set up once, during onboarding. Sanso plugs into your Tiime by API depending on your needs, along with your inboxes, then operates directly in the tool. Count on a few days, with no interruption to your business.
Does Sanso replace Tiime's features?
No, it feeds them. Tiime remains your business account and your invoicing and accounting tool. Sanso is the service that runs all the work around it: capture, reading, categorization, client invoicing, collections, and reconciliation, all handled by AI.
Does Sanso replace my accountant?
No. Sanso doesn't do accounting in the regulated sense. It handles bookkeeping and day-to-day finance operations, so your accountant finds clean, complete data in Tiime. The two are complementary, not competitors.
Tiime already sends automatic payment reminders. What does Sanso add?
Automatic reminders know how to send a nudge, and that's useful. But they stop as soon as a client replies, disputes an amount, or flags an error. That's exactly where Sanso takes over: the AI checks the quote, corrects the invoice if needed, and follows the case through to collection, across multiple channels.
Isn't Tiime's built-in OCR enough?
The OCR built into accounting tools stays fairly basic and tops out at standard invoices. [Sanso's, powered by AI](/en/features/invoice-ocr), handles every type of financial document (rent notices, co-ownership fund calls, construction progress statements, bank statements), understands what each document is, and ties it to its context before sending it into Tiime.
Do I keep control over what Sanso does?
Yes, completely. Everything the AI processes shows up in your Tiime and on your business account. Nothing happens behind the scenes. And you keep the final say on sensitive decisions: payment approvals, the priority and tone of payment follow-ups, ambiguous cases.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Sanso is GDPR-compliant and hosts data in the European Union. Because Sanso operates inside your existing tools, your data stays where it is, with controlled, traceable access. Sanso is also CASA (Cloud Application Security Assessment) certified by Google.
How much does Sanso cost on top of Tiime?
Sanso works on a monthly flat fee, calibrated to your volume of operations rather than per transaction. Expect between $300 and $2,000 per month. And there's no commitment: you stop whenever you want.
Does Sanso work with tools other than Tiime?
Yes. Sanso also plugs into other accounting tools (Pennylane, Axonaut, Xero), your banking tools ([Qonto](/en/integrations/qonto), Revolut Business, Float), and Google Workspace.
