Presenting the ultimate HRnest alternative
Request, approve, and manage leaves right where you work.
Vacation Tracker is an HRnest alternative built right in your favorite collaboration tool, whether that be Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Google Workspace. No more wasting time switching multiple apps to manage leave.

Why switch to our HRnest alternative?
Although HRnest has done a great job at helping teams simplify HR management, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with all the features they have to offer.
Vacation Tracker is perfect for teams who want to use dedicated leave management software to help support their already existing HR processes.

Limited accessibility in Slack
HRnest makes it easy for users to get notifications in Slack. But why stop there? With Vacation Tracker, you can view your request and approve leaves, view your personalized leave history, remaining days off, and more, right from your desktop.

It does not integrate with MS Teams
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 get your leave history — all in your workspace.

Managing multiple locations is difficult
Just like Vacation Tracker, HRnest users can create multiple departments to help manage leaves within an organization. But what happens if users in these departments are dispersed across several locations? Every location has a set of unique leave policies. With our tool, you can create multiple locations and place all team members in the corresponding location, whether they are a part of the same team or not.

No accrual option
Calculating accruals is often one of the most important and time-consuming aspects of leave management. While HRnest does not offer this feature, Vacation Tracker allows you to calculate and automate Accruals with just a few taps on your computer. Input the frequency of accrual (monthly, semi-monthly, or bi-weekly) and we’ll handle the rest.
