Turn Your Expenses Into Invoices: Xpenser + FreshBooks
Xpenser is bringing mobile expense management to FreshBooks.
FreshBooks is a wonderful solution for managing your clients and invoices online, and they’re known for putting service back in customer service. It turns out a lot of Xpenser users also use FreshBooks, and vice-versa.
Our customers asked us: wouldn’t it be great if Xpenser and FreshBooks integrated so we could capture expenses from any device anywhere and automatically create invoices for them in FreshBooks?
Excellent idea, we thought. Starting today you can do exactly that: capture and manage your expenses with Xpenser, and export them into existing or new invoices in FreshBooks. Everything is available from the Export option in the Expense page, as you can see in this screencast below. Give it a try, and as always let us know what you think.
Is there a way to export expenses to the “expenses” tab in freshbooks?… It would make life a lot easier come tax time..
Help!?
Jp, our integration is due for an update now that expenses are available as an option in FreshBooks. Keep an eye on the blog for the announcement.
I’m in the process of deciding whether to use Harvest of Freshbooks. I was leaning toward Freshbooks at first. But then I swayed to Harvest with their iPhone integration.
I love xpenser though! And this integration with Freshbooks will most probably make my decision that much easier.
However, has the update on integration occurred yet? If not, when do you expect an update?
Thanks!
Mark, unfortunately the expense API has not been released by the Freshbooks folks yet, so we’re not able to directly integrate with the expense tab in Freshbooks. We’ll update the integration once the Freshbooks APIs become available.
Spencer, thanks for all of your hard work on this. I am an experienced LAMP developer, and would really love this feature. Are you already working on it? Can I offer some code? I don’t do Ruby, but I have a very strong backend/security/API background…
Bill, we’re continuing to work with FreshBooks to encourage them to release their expense API, which unfortunately is not available yet. Everyone who’s interested, please feel free to contact FreshBooks as well letting them know they should prioritize making the expense API available.
