Project management
Both solutions let you create and manage projects and the related master data. ZEP Operations stands out with extensive analyses and the option to assign work locations and activities in detail.
Working time tracking
While ZEP Operations offers an intuitive clock-in and clock-out function and lets you configure legally required break rules, factro relies on manual entries without predefined break rules. In addition, ZEP Operations provides detailed analyses and records that factro lacks.
Client management
Both systems offer basic client management features such as master data and contacts.
Prices & receipts
ZEP Operations integrates internal cost rates for profitability calculations and offers automated profit and revenue analyses as well as receipt management. factro does not offer these extended features.
Proposals
A key advantage of ZEP Operations is the ability to create standardized proposals and convert them directly into projects. factro lacks this feature.
Invoicing
With ZEP Operations, invoices can be created, sent and evaluated for accounting automatically. factro does not offer this feature.
Overtime, absences & leave
Both systems have team calendars. ZEP Operations also offers an approval process for leave requests and lockable month-end closings for precise analyses.
Tickets, tasks & to-dos
Both solutions offer ticketing systems, in ZEP Operations as an add-on, but only ZEP Operations allows invoicing based on tickets.
Extensions
ZEP offers a wide range of extension options: Document Management comes with ZEP Business, and multi-location support is already included in ZEP Operations. These options are not available in factro.
Support
Both providers offer personal support by phone and email.
Summary
ZEP Operations offers an end-to-end solution for companies looking for efficient project planning and management. It stands out with extended project management, including comprehensive planning and analysis that enables detailed control. The intuitive working time tracking meets all legal requirements and is easy to use.
In addition, automated Invoicing in ZEP Operations lets you create and send invoices directly and export relevant accounting data. Add-ons such as Resource Planning and Ticketing System also let you build an individual solution. By comparison, factro offers a solid solution for project-based business when the focus is mainly on project management.
