Joomla time tracking meets invoicing in ochProjects

This is a familiar gap on Joomla sites because Joomla core provides users, access control and content management, but it does not provide timesheets, invoice numbering, VAT calculations, payment status or an accounts-receivable workflow. A template override can change how existing data is displayed; it cannot create that business process. Site owners usually reach for a specialist extension or run billing in separate accounting software. According to the listing, ochProjects goes beyond core by connecting project time and materials to approvals, invoice PDFs, customer accounts and payment links.

It is aimed at freelancers, agencies and small service businesses already using Joomla that want customers to review work and handle invoices within the same site. Teams that already use dedicated accounting or project-management software, or sites with no billable project work, are unlikely to have a use for it.

• The listing marks it as a paid download, but gives no price. PayPal, Stripe and Mollie plugins are sold separately.
• Ruud van Lent is listed as the developer, and the directory shows 17 other extensions from the developer; that is a directory count, not evidence that we have assessed the products.
• Before buying, check the licence and support terms, payment-plugin costs, tax requirements for your jurisdiction, migration options and the security implications of exposing customer and invoice data.
• The description says Joomla 5 and 6, while the compatibility field shows J6. Confirm the exact supported version and any hosting requirements. The listing also leaves unanswered how payment plugins, email delivery and accounting exports are configured.
