Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We appreciate the download to Excel feature, which allows for deeper dives into trending, pivot tables, and other Excel functions. The available hours and leave reports are comprehensive, and we appreciate the download to Excel feature. Employees and managers will find it simple to use. The application simplifies the process by allowing clock in/out and leave requests. No one needed to come back to us after we trained our managers on how to use the system. Flexible clocking methods include smartphone clocks, QR scans, and browser checks, to name a few. I'd also like to thank the support team for providing excellent back-end support to our managers! Continue your excellent work and service.

Pros

No one needed to contact us after we trained our managers on how to use the system. Smartphone watches, QR scans, and browser tests are just a few of the many watch methods available.
Our administrators are well-served by our support team.

Cons

It is overly efficient in terms of completing the activities and objectives set.
For current labor issues, we can rely on everything included in the compensation package.

Likelihood to Recommend

Calamari is constantly striving to account for and provide useful, practical, and simple solutions to its employees that everyone can use without significant inconvenience. Always seeking to be in an active business environment that allows them to manage the various labor policies that exist in each region and company where they work.

Simply to use, adequate software to manage an SMB's PTO.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Calamari as our PTO management tool for the entire organization, across all departments. This includes the employee's annual leave allowance, specifying a replacement team member, and stating a leave of absence due to health issues or working remotely from home.

Pros

Complex rules to define each team member's PTO allowance.
Overview of remaining allowance and when it is has been requested for.
Easy login options.

Cons

I would like for the platform to be available in other languages as well. Currently, only a few languages are supported.
While the platform is intuitive, the built in tutorials are not the best.

Likelihood to Recommend

Calamari should work fine for Small to Medium Businesses that want to keep track of their personnel's leave of absence, especially if they have different rules based on location, experience, etc. It also works adequately to allow for PTO to be approved based on a specific org structure (manager, then HR, etc).

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Since it has a Leave Management feature, most of us benefited from that one. Also it easy to use. Calamari turned out to be a great solution that allowed us to make the process more agreeable and helped both Employees and Team Leaders better plan their work!

Pros

Leave management feature.
Track attendance and work time of employees.
Free trial.

Cons

Lack of a mobile app.
A little tricky at first to use.
Need HR-friendly features to add.

Likelihood to Recommend

The very user-friendly interface encourages our team members to use Calamari regularly. The tool is also very simple to use so all in-house communication is strengthened because of that. The Success team writes back within minutes and helps with literally everything so the communication between us/our team and Calamari is great.

The only time tracking and vacation management solution you'll ever need

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We're using Calamari for our whole company. It's a really awesome absence management and time tracking solution, with a lot of additional functions and flexible configuration options. It allows us to plan our vacations effectively, but also track our working hours effortlessly using Beacon technology and the mobile Calamari app. No more cards and manually clocking in. You come into the office, or log in to your desk and your phone with the Calamari app, connect to Beacon, and it clocks you in. It's that easy!

Pros

Feature rich.
Cheap.
Professional and helpful support team.
Beautiful and clear UI.

Cons

Would be great to have a team calendar in the mobile app.
Give notifications about the end of the working day.
Provide a better dashboard for tracking available vacation days in the mobile app.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's absolutely great for tech companies that are open to new technologies. Clocking in and out is super easy, and you have a lot of options to do it. My favorite two are: automatically clocking in using the mobile app and beacons, and clocking in/out using Slack integration. It's a great tool not only for the HR department, but for team leaders as well. It's easy to manage team member vacation requests and plans.
