About

Swiftly

Features
Read full description

Swiftly Workspace runs your business from your iPhone and iPad: customers, invoices, payments, projects and time tracking in one place, with an AI assistant built into every screen rather than bolted on as a separate chatbot. AI THAT WORKS ON YOUR OWN DATA Ask questions in plain language and get answers drawn from your actual records, not generic advice. Open the assistant inside any record and it already has the context of what you are looking at. Creating a customer, invoice or project? Describe what you need and the assistant fills the form, so you review and correct instead of typing from scratch. Dictate with your voice instead of tapping. Bring your own AI provider: connect your own API key from any supported provider, or use Apple Intelligence on device. CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS Keep customers, suppliers, contacts and addresses together. VAT numbers are checked against the EU VIES service and email addresses are validated, so bad data is caught before it reaches an invoice. INVOICING AND PAYMENTS Issue invoices, credit notes and proformas on both the customer and supplier side. Record payments and allocate them across documents. Manage SEPA direct debit mandates. EUROPEAN E-INVOICING Send and receive PEPPOL BIS 3 electronic invoices. Incoming documents are parsed, scored for confidence and can be imported automatically once you trust the match. Sending and receiving are switched on independently. PROJECTS AND TIME Plan work as phases, work packages and tasks with the people assigned to each. Track time against projects and route it through approval workflows, with required approvers set per project. BUILT FOR CONTROL Roles and per-field permissions decide exactly who can see and change what. Whole modules can be switched on or off per company, so people only see the parts they use. Configure which fields appear, which are required and what they default to, without waiting for a release. Change history records who changed which field, from what value, and when. Import existing data from CSV or Excel with AI-assisted column mapping, and export back to CSV. DESIGNED FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Native SwiftUI throughout. On iPad a three-column layout puts your workspace, list and record on screen at once. Home Screen quick actions and App Intents let you start a new record without opening the app first. VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Increased Contrast are supported as core features, not afterthoughts. FOR TEAMS Single sign-on and SCIM provisioning connect Swiftly Workspace to your identity provider, so accounts and roles stay in step with your directory. Swiftly Workspace requires a subscription, available as Swiftly or Swiftly Pro on a monthly or annual plan. The in-app plan includes one member; add your team on the web. You can use the same account on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
