FAQs
Frequently asked questions and answers about ZEP Clock
Our management consultancy often works with freelance consultants. Can we still use ZEP?
Yes, if you work together as a team in one and the same ZEP, you can directly mark freelancers as such, set internal hourly and daily rates for each external consultant and/or project and choose whether a freelance consultant issues invoices or receives credits.
Can I plan a project from A to Z?
Yes, with the Plan Hours module, you can define hours and services even before the project starts. In this way, you not only ensure needs-based project planning, but also enable your consultants and project managers to carry out professional project controlling.
Can consultants record travel expenses via ZEP?
Yes, with the Travel Expenses module, your consultants record their travel data together with project times. Documents, such as hotel bills, taxi receipts or train tickets, can be easily assigned to the respective projects or customers. As the person responsible, you determine the travel expense regulation for each project.
Which systems can project time recording be integrated into?
In a constantly increasingly digitalized corporate world, we want to ensure that ZEP harmonizes with the rest of your IT infrastructure. In addition to our standardized ZEP interfaces (SOAP & REST), we are also constantly connecting new partners with direct interfaces. From Hubspot to Personio to Salesforce for data exchange with the rest of the world. Here you can find out everything about ZEP interfaces.
Can I assign working time to projects or customers?
Yes, it works without any problems and is a core part of ZEP. It is also possible to add project times. Individual projects can be created at will, so that there is a specific project for a customer.
Why project time recording?
Because time is money. Your focus should be on your day-to-day business and not on administrative tasks. Especially if you work for your customers and clients in a project-oriented manner and ultimately invoice your working hours, it is important for successful project implementation to keep an eye on the time worked at all times and to bill them exactly and in full. Excel sheets or time sheets quickly become confusing, error-prone and complex during handling and evaluation.
