Leave management that actually works
No more WhatsApp messages, lost requests, or miscalculated balances. Your team requests time off in 30 seconds. Managers approve with one tap.
Pre-configured for Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana & Rwanda
Sound familiar?
"Boss, can I take Friday off?"
Leave requests buried in WhatsApp threads. No record of who approved what. Requests get forgotten or lost.
Wrong leave balances
HR spends hours recalculating balances in Excel. Someone always gets shorted. Arguments follow.
Half the team is off — surprise
No visibility into who's off when. Three people from the same team book the same week. No one planned coverage.
No audit trail
When a dispute comes up, there's no proof of who requested what, who approved it, or when. Just he-said-she-said.
Everything you need to manage time off
Leave requests in 30 seconds
Your people select the leave type, pick their dates, add a note if needed, and submit. The system shows them exactly how it affects their balance before they hit send.
