Frequently asked questions and answers about ZEP Clock

Unsere Unternehmensberatung arbeitet häufig mit freien Beratern. Können wir ZEP trotzdem nutzen?

Ja, wenn Sie gemeinsam als Team in ein und demselben ZEP arbeiten, können Sie Freelancer direkt als solche kennzeichnen, interne Stunden- und Tagessätze je externem Berater und/oder Projekt hinterlegen und auswählen, ob ein freier Berater Rechnungen stellt oder Gutschriften erhält.

Kann ich ein Projekt von A bis Z durchplanen?

Ja, mit dem Modul Planstunden definieren Sie Stunden und Leistungen bereits vor Projektstart. So sichern Sie sich nicht nur eine bedarfsgerechte Projektplanung, sondern ermöglichen Ihren Beratern und Projektleitern auch ein professionelles Projekt-Controlling.

Können Berater Reisekosten über ZEP erfassen?

Ja, mit dem Modul Reisekosten erfassen Ihre Berater ihre Reisedaten gemeinsam mit den Projektzeiten. Belege, wie etwa Hotelrechnungen, Taxiquittungen oder Bahntickets können den jeweiligen Projekten oder Kunden einfach zugeordnet werden. Als Verantwortlicher bestimmen Sie die Reisekostenregelung zur Weiterverrechnung je Projekt.

In welche Systeme kann die Projektzeiterfassung integriert werden?

In einer stetig zunehmend digitalisierten Unternehmenswelt,  möchten wir sicherstellen, dass ZEP mit dem Rest Ihrer IT- Infrastruktur harmoniert. Neben unseren standardisierten ZEP-Schnittstellen (SOAP & REST) binden wir auch stetig neue Partner mit direkten Schnittstellen an. Von Hubspot über Personio bis hin zu Salesforce für den Datenaustausch mit dem Rest der Welt​. Erfahren Sie hier alles über ZEP-Schnittstellen.

Kann ich Arbeitszeit Projekten oder Kunden zuordnen?

Ja, das geht ohne Probleme und ist ein Kernbestandteil von ZEP. Auch das Nachtragen von Projektzeiten ist möglich. Einzelne Projekte können beliebig erstellt werden, sodass es ein bestimmtes Projekt für einen Kunden gibt.

Warum Projektzeiterfassung?

Weil Zeit Geld ist. Ihr Fokus sollte auf Ihrem Tagesgeschäft liegen und nicht auf administrativen Tätigkeiten. Besonders wenn Sie für Ihre Kunden und Auftraggeber projektorientiert arbeiten und letztendlich Ihre Arbeitszeiten in Rechnung stellen, so ist es für die erfolgreiche Projektdurchführung wichtig, die geleisteten Zeiten jederzeit im Blick zu haben und diese exakt und vollständig abzurechnen. Excel-Sheets oder Stundenzettel, werden in der Handhabung und Auswertung schnell unübersichtlich, fehlerträchtig und aufwändig.

Was ist ZEP?

ZEP steht für Zeiterfassung für Projekte und bietet mit den beiden Produkten ZEP Professional und ZEP Compact eine leistungsfähige und intuitiv bedienbare Software-Lösung zur projektorientierten Arbeitszeiterfassung, Reisekostenabrechnung, Projektplanung, Projekt-Controlling, Ressourcenplanung, Rechnungsstellung und vieles mehr.
