The Challenge
Freelancers are indispensable for Zuumeo’s daily production operations. But managing a constantly growing pool of freelancers has taken up countless hours every week.
The organisation of contacts with Excel spreadsheets was confusing, communication by phone or e-mail time-consuming, payment uncoordinated. The management was looking for a technological solution to optimize all administrative processes.
