Total cost includes licenses, setup, migration, training and integration maintenance. Separating those items makes a subscription, a quotation and an internal spreadsheet comparable.

Configured HICE base rates, monthly per MAIN/BASIC user. Check the Pricing page for applicable tier, contract, taxes and Enterprise terms. Example in the Europe tier: 5 MAIN + 25 BASIC = 222.00 EUR/month. Assuming 1,000 for onboarding and 24 internal hours at 30, year one totals 4,384.00 EUR. Additional budget inputs are assumptions.
The free plan includes up to 10 employees and 5000 CVs for companies; 500 CVs for freelancers.

Define the outcome and records
For this topic the control starts with billable hours, dual approval and traceable corrections.
A timesheet records hours by person, date, project and task. Time tracking measures duration; approval makes the handoff to financial calculations reviewable. Recorded, approved and billable hours are different sets requiring explicit filters.
Enter project, date and hours, check overlaps and submit to an approver. Hypothetical example: 8 recorded, 6 approved and 4 billable hours give different totals. Reconcile each summary with its stated filter.
A pilot on the complete workflow
Record eight hours: six for a client and two internal. Submit the period, request a correction and approve it again. The summary should retain billable time, decisions and the corrected version.
Before the demo, write three required outcomes and one acceptable tradeoff. Value recovered time only after measuring on the same basis. Have the actual owner complete a cycle and retain errors, corrections and final output. If the pilot stops halfway, identify the missing module, integration or step in the quotation.
Rules, exceptions and work cost
Define who enters, corrects and approves records. Test an incomplete record, a duplicate and a change after closure. The decision changes when records can be exported with relationships rather than manually reconstructed. Count licenses, onboarding, team time and integration maintenance separately.
Apply the workflow in HICE
In HICE, hours remain linked to people, clients and projects, with submission and dual manager/HR approval. The value is moving from timesheets to operational reports without manually rebuilding billable time and project context.
