The overall package is right
The management consultancy Kreutz & Partner has been successfully using ZEP Professional for a good 7 years now — back then with around a third of the workforce that it is today. The search focused on a tool for comprehensive project controlling in management consulting. Why was software needed at all? It's simple: The effort and error rate of combining Excel for time recording and Word for invoicing got out of hand and was no longer manageable for the team. In addition, this combination cost important resources and, above all, time! “There must be an easier way,” thought Juliane Bätzel, Managing Assistant at the time. In particular, the increased turnover and growth of the company made a simpler, user-friendly solution indispensable. After several tested tools, ZEP was finally chosen. “The overall package is just right here,” says Juliane Bätzel, “because you can get started right away without having to install anything first or set up great things! ”
A necessary evil — it's easy with ZEP
Nobody really likes to do time recording; it is and remains a necessary evil. But: Because ZEP is easy to use, the tool was quickly integrated into the workflow of Kreutz & Partner's various fields of activity. “The comprehensive functions and modules make our everyday work much easier,” says Juliane Bätzel. From pure time recording to vacation and resource planning to project controlling with subsequent invoicing, ZEP is the tool of choice for Cologne-based management consultancy. “Thanks to the flexibility and modularity of the software, ZEP adapts smoothly to changing needs and our requirements,” says Juliane Bätzel.
Final Conclusion
“We Zepen because it really helps us in our work! “— Juliane Bätzel. In addition to the software functions, what is particularly impressive is the service responses from ZEP Support. “No matter when we have questions, we always get a competent answer promptly. We don't know anything like this from any other service provider that works so well. Individual requests for changes are immediately addressed here and we think that's just great! ”
