Before using Productive, I would have to spend 8 hours to figure certain numbers out. Now, I have those numbers in real time, at a glance.

No Need for an HR Tool To Manage Time Off

Approve Vacation Request

When a teammate requests time off, their manager needs to approve it in Productive.

Time Off Automatically Becomes Part of Your Resource Plans

As soon as a Time off request is approved, use a filter to see which teammates are on leave.
