The Calamari alternative you need to try
Get everything from leave requests to approval, directly at your fingertips.
Presenting Vacation Tracker, a Calamari alternative that’s built right into your favorite collaboration tool — whether that is Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Google Workspace.

Why switch to our Calamari alternative?
Although Calamari has done a great job at helping teams simplify HR management,
Vacation Tracker is perfect for those looking to use dedicated leave management software to help support their existing HR processes. Here’s how we do it better.

Basic Microsoft Teams Integration
Microsoft Teams is of the most useful and popular team collaboration tools available in the market today. But if you don’t have a leave tracking solution built into this very tool, how can you work efficiently? Our integrations help you request and approve leaves, get notifications, and view your leave history — all in your workspace.

No Scheduled Reports Available
With Vacation Tracker, you can automate every aspect of your leave management — from leave requests to leave reports. Using our tool you can organize, auto-generate and schedule your monthly reporting at the touch of a button. These leave reports can also be customized to include all leave-related activity in your organization.

Employee Training
When it comes to tracking leave, a tool with a complicated user interface can make the process much more challenging. Fortunately, with Vacation Tracker’s straightforward and intuitive UI, your team won’t need any additional training, and they’ll be able to start using it immediately.

Inability to Modify Leave Requests
Do you ever recall sending a leave request but later realizing that you needed an additional day off? Or maybe you accidentally requested a day more than planned? A system that allows you to modify leave requests after submission is crucial for efficient leave tracking. With Vacation Tracker, you have complete control over your PTO requests, including the ability to make modifications.
