Services
Redmine Business Management Extensions
Bring customer, billing and operational processes closer to your project data.
How I can help
Many teams already track their work in Redmine, so it makes sense to keep customer, billing and operational data next to it. I build business extensions that connect project data with how you bill time, invoice customers and report to clients.
Examples include equipment booking with monthly PDF invoices, payroll-ready time exports, client status reports and automated customer communication.

FAQ
Business Management Extensions: common questions
Can Redmine handle billing and invoicing?
With a custom extension, yes. I have built booking-based billing with monthly PDF invoices, and payroll-ready exports from Redmine time entries.
Can you connect Redmine to our existing CRM or accounting system?
It depends on the system’s API. I review the system during scoping and recommend the most practical integration approach.
