Grade: B — Score: 75/100
Pilim leverages AI technology to streamline financial operations, ensuring compliance with Peppol standards for e-invoicing. The platform is designed to be user-friendly, allowing businesses to manage invoices, expenses, and VAT reporting seamlessly.
By integrating various financial processes into a single tool, Pilim reduces the complexity often associated with traditional ERPs. Users can automate repetitive tasks, track payments in real-time, and generate insightful reports, all while maintaining a clear overview of their financial health.
With a focus on security and GDPR compliance, Pilim ensures that user data is protected while providing the flexibility needed for businesses to adapt to changing regulations. This minimizes the risks associated with manual data entry and fragmented tools.
Basic: €8.33/user/month
Standard: €19.90/month
Premium: €29.90/month
Consider switching to Xero: Xero offers comprehensive accounting features but may lack Peppol compliance.
Pilim and Odoo target different segments. Pilim is a lightweight ERP covering invoicing, HR, asset tracking, and Peppol compliance at €8.33 to €29.90/month. Odoo is a modular open-source ERP with 100+ apps (inventory, manufacturing, CRM, eCommerce) starting at €24.90/user/month for the Standard plan. A 5-person team on Odoo Standard would pay roughly €124.50/month versus €29.90/month on Pilim Premium. The tradeoff: Odoo offers far deeper functionality and customization but typically requires an implementation partner and has a steeper learning curve. Pilim is designed to work out of the box for freelancers and SMEs with under 30 employees.
The Belgian Federal Public Service Finance (SPF Finances) maintains a list of software solutions for sending, receiving, and processing electronic invoices via Peppol at einvoice.belgium.be. As of April 2026, Pilim's presence on that specific list has not been independently confirmed. However, Pilim states it connects directly to the Peppol network and generates BIS 3.0 compliant UBL invoices. Belgian businesses should verify compliance status with Pilim's support team or cross-reference the official SPF Finances list before relying on it for mandatory B2B e-invoicing.
No. Pilim handles cash flow, invoicing, expenses, and VAT reporting but is not a full double-entry accounting system. The Premium plan (€29.90/month) syncs transaction data to QuickBooks or Xero for ledger work, journal entries, and year-end reporting. Pilim is designed to sit alongside an accounting tool, not replace one. Your accountant would still work in QuickBooks or Xero while Pilim manages the day-to-day invoicing, HR, and document workflows.
Pilim includes automated VAT calculations on invoices and generates VAT reporting summaries from the Finance module. It tracks VAT across income and expenses in real time on the dashboard. Since Belgium's mandatory B2B e-invoicing via Peppol took effect January 1, 2026, Pilim's native Peppol integration sends invoices in the structured UBL format required by law. Belgium is also introducing near-real-time e-Reporting via a Peppol 5-corner model from 2028, which will replace the annual VAT customer listing.
Yes. The Standard (€19.90/month) and Premium (€29.90/month) plans include multi-user access with role-based permissions. Managers can approve leave requests, view department timesheets, and access financial data while employees see only their own records. The Basic plan (€8.33/user/month) also supports user roles but is limited to one selected module plus HR. Pilim also offers a secure data-sharing mode for external accountants.
Billit is a dedicated invoicing and document processing platform. It is a certified Peppol Access Point with ISO 27001 certification, 120,000+ users, and processes over 2 million invoices per month. Billit's Starter plan begins at €7.50/month for up to 25 documents. Pilim is broader: it bundles invoicing with HR management, asset tracking, document administration, and expense management in a single platform starting at €8.33/user/month. If you only need invoicing and accountant collaboration, Billit is more established and focused. If you need invoicing plus HR plus asset management in one tool, Pilim covers more ground.
Pilim was built by S-Mobile SRL, a Belgian IT consultancy registered in Brussels (BCE 0679.763.825). S-Mobile started in January 2018 as a solo consultancy. By 2020, with 4 employees, the company built Pilim internally to manage its own cash flow, invoicing, VAT, HR, and timesheets. The first internal version launched in January 2021. S-Mobile grew to 27 employees using the platform and was nominated for the Trends Gazelles 2025 award for Brussels. Pilim launched commercially in 2025.
Pilim's core strengths are tied to Belgian and EU compliance: Peppol BIS 3.0 invoicing, automated VAT calculations, and GDPR-compliant EU-hosted data. The Peppol network covers 39+ countries, so sending invoices to recipients in other Peppol-connected nations works. However, VAT reporting features are built around Belgian rules, and the platform does not currently support country-specific tax regimes outside Belgium. Businesses in other EU countries could use the invoicing and HR modules, but they would need to verify whether VAT calculations match their local requirements.
