FAQ - Project time recording for consultancies & consulting teams
What is ZEP?
ZEP stands for time recording for projects and offers with the two products ZEP Professional and ZEP Compact a powerful and intuitive software solution for project-oriented working time recording, travel expense accounting, project planning, project controlling, resource planning, invoicing and much more.
Why project time recording?
Because time is money. Your focus should be on your daily business and not on administrative activities. Especially if you work for your customers and clients on a project-oriented basis and ultimately invoice your working hours, it is important for the successful implementation of the project to have an overview of the hours worked at all times and to account for them precisely and completely. Excel sheets or timesheets quickly become confusing, error-prone and time-consuming to handle and evaluate.
Can I assign working time to projects or customers?
Which systems can project time recording be integrated into?
In an increasingly digitalised corporate world, we want to ensure that ZEP harmonises with the rest of your IT infrastructure. In addition to our standardised ZEP interfaces (SOAP & REST), we are also constantly connecting new partners with direct interfaces. From Hubspot and Personio to Salesforce for data exchange with the rest of the world. Find out everything about ZEP interfaces.
Can consultants record travel expenses via ZEP?
Can I plan a project from A to Z?
Yes, with the planned hours module you can define hours and services even before the project starts. This not only ensures needs-based project planning, but also enables your consultants and project managers to carry out professional project controlling.
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, store internal hourly and daily rates per external consultant and/or project and select whether a freelance consultant issues invoices or receives credit notes.
