Optimize offer processes with ZEP

With ZEP, you can standardize your offer management on a central platform — without annoying paperwork.

Standardised offer preparation

Preparation of offers without manual effort

Create tailor-made offers directly in the system with intelligent templates for recurring services and the automatic transfer of customer data. Use stored project data and flexible item types (expenditure, package, articles) to prepare individual offers quickly and in a standardized way. Corporate design layouts ensure professionalism without additional design effort and save considerable time when preparing software-supported offers.

Automatic calculation

Precise offer calculation based on recorded times

Calculate your offers automatically based on stored project times and costs with intelligent calculations that take historical project data and individual hourly rates into account. You can compare different calculation scenarios while keeping track of margins at all times and ensuring that your offers are financially viable. The software for preparing offers makes it possible to show or hide calculations for each item and thus react flexibly to customer requirements.

Versioning & backups

Change history and recovery

Track changes and different versions of your offers with automatic versioning that transparently documents every processing step. Each adjustment is comprehensibly documented and older versions can be restored if necessary. In this way, you always have an overview and valuable information is retained.

Approval and dispatch

Release and send offers with one click

Release offers with just one click and send them directly to your customers. The four-eyes principle ensures quality control through approval workflows before offers leave the company. Thanks to the digital filing, you have access to all sent offers at any time, monitor their status and use the software to write not only offers but also invoices; with the module invoicing.
