Executive Summary

SMBs and their accountants using external time trackers often spend hours manually turning tracked time into compliant Bexio invoices, a repetitive process that increases billing errors and bookkeeping time. This is especially painful in the DACH region where language and tax localization make generic connectors unreliable for roughly 1.2M SMBs. You could build a one-click integration that maps time entries from popular trackers into Bexio invoices with preconfigured tax rules, item mappings, client sync, validation, and reconciliation, plus an accountant-facing admin panel for templates and bulk invoicing. The product would live both in the tracker UI for end users and as a management console for bookkeepers to control templates, access logs, and audit trails. The market is attractive now: a $720M addressable market in DACH (1.2M SMBs × ~$600/year), with a market score of 74/100 and revenue potential rated 86/100, driven by growing demand for accounting automation. Medium competition means there’s room for a specialist solution that focuses on local compliance rather than a generic global connector. Your competitive edge will be deep localization (tax, language, Bexio-specific behaviors), a genuine one-click UX that removes manual steps, and partnerships with accountant networks to drive trust and distribution. Be realistic about challenges: ongoing tax/regulatory maintenance and securing early accountant champions are necessary investments, but if you solve for compliance and workflow simplicity the return could justify building this.
