The Problem

Why does service approval by email and Excel break down?

Three parties, one shared process - and friction everywhere. The status quo costs time, money and nerves.

Email ping-pong

Invoices bounce through endless CC chains. Who confirmed what, and when? Nobody knows for sure.

Delayed payments

Freelancers wait weeks for payment because approvals get buried in inboxes or simply forgotten.

Unclear responsibilities

Agency, client, freelancer - everyone points to someone else. Escalations are handled manually and too late.

No transparency

No party sees in real-time where an invoice currently stands. Status requests eat up valuable working time.

There's a better way. → Zekanex

In detail

The full process – step by step, per role

From time tracking through review and signature to the invoice: what actually happens in each of the three roles.

Freelancer

  • Track your worked hours digitally – structured, complete, and accessible at any time. No more unmanageable spreadsheets.
  • At month's end, your timesheet is automatically generated and exported as PDF or CSV – compatible with your existing tools, no manual transfer.
  • Before your timesheet is forwarded, the system automatically checks it for completeness and plausibility – errors are caught before they become problems.
  • Sign your timesheet digitally – legally valid, in seconds, from anywhere. No printing, no scanning, no emailing files back and forth.
  • With a single click, you submit your timesheet for approval. The agency and client automatically receive a secure, personalised link.
  • Once the client confirms, your timesheet is digitally co-signed and immutably archived – giving you legally valid proof of work, always accessible.
  • Your invoice is automatically generated based on the approved timesheet and sent – faster payment, without touching a single spreadsheet cell.

How it works

How does service approval work with Zekanex?

From invoice submission to payment - Zekanex guides all three parties through a structured, digital process without manual loops.

Freelancer submits invoice

The freelancer uploads the timesheet and invoice directly into Zekanex. The system checks completeness and automatically notifies the agency.

2

Agency reviews & forwards

The staffing agency reviews the timesheet, adds notes if needed, and forwards it to the client with a single click.

3

Client approves digitally

The client receives a secure link, reviews all details, and approves the invoice - or rejects it with a comment. Zekanex notifies all parties immediately.
