The Spock alternative you've been looking for
When it comes to leave tracking, why stop at just Slack?
Make booking time off from work a breeze with Vacation Tracker, a Spock alternative that lets teams automate leave management right from Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Google Workspace.
Why switch to our Spock Alternative?
Spock has done a great job at making leave requests and approval easy for employees
working from Slack. But with Vacation Tracker, you can do that — and so much more, all at an unbeatable price. Here’s why you should make the switch.
It's not integrated with MS Teams or Google Workspace
Microsoft Teams and Google Workspace are some 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 these very tools, how can you work efficiently? Vacation Tracker helps you request and approve leaves, get notifications, and view your leave history — all from your workspace.
No access to individual user profiles
Keeping tabs on your leave information is easier than ever with your Vacation Tracker user profile. This page gives you a clear overview of your individual leave history including your leave quota, accrued vacation days, rollover holidays, past leaves, and much more confidential information, available right where and when you need it.
No data filtering options
Save yourself the hassle of swimming through a sea of leave information by filtering through it using customized Labels, Locations, Departments, or all three. Personalized Labels allow you to separate a set of users (regardless of their Location or Department) from the norm by assigning them all a Label. Now you can see exactly what you want to see, without struggling with information overload.
No PTO accrual option
Calculating accruals is often one of the most important and time-consuming aspects of leave management. While Spock 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.
