Dream team from the start
The topic of time recording came up relatively quickly after the company was founded, as the classic Excel list became too complex and opaque. Travel expense reports, daily packages, etc. quickly went beyond the scope and so the team led by founder Dr.-Ing. Sandra Szech looked for a software tool that would meet all the needs of the young company right from the start. The rapidly changing requirements of industry made it necessary for the tool to be flexibly adaptable. “Not all consultations take place at a daily rate, but last — depending on the customer — just 30 minutes or 2 hours. With an Excel spreadsheet, we simply couldn't keep up with recording hours and recording travel expenses,” recalls Sandra Szech. A database-based solution was needed — for travel expense reports, time recording and personnel management! After detailed research, it was quickly clear: “ZEP meets our requirements 100 percent,” says Szech.
Usecase covered by 100 percent
“ZEP is precisely tailored to our business model and for this reason we do not need an additional software solution,” says Sandra Szech. Hamburgers can thus cover acquisition, invoicing and personnel management with a single tool, which significantly simplifies the workflow. Another advantage: Employees only have to work with a tool that directly processes all entered information in the right place — without additional effort. “This represents 100 percent of our use case! “ZEP is self-explanatory for the young, IT-savvy team and Sandra Szech. As an admin, you are more likely to have questions. The solution? The ZEP support! “It works wonderfully and our specific questions are answered very competently and friendly at all times,” says Szech.
No need for work-arounds
Odego also saw the use of ZEP as an opportunity to adapt its own processes to the software — not the other way around. “We looked at what the system suggested and how we could best get away with the flow so that we didn't have to work with various work-arounds,” recalls founder Sandra Szech.
Final Conclusion
“We are scepen because we have no other chance of streamlining our entire processes! “— Dr.-Ing. Sandra Szech, co-founder of Odego GmbH.
