TESTIMONIALS

A mobile app that aids efficiency and convenience

“At a certain point, any organisation outgrows manual processes for holiday booking. We needed a system that could handle an organisation of our size and growth trajectory. edays facilitated the transition to online holiday booking for London Luton Airport, giving our staff and administrators the best experience possible when booking and approving holiday.”

“The clear UI, scalable structure, concise reporting, and completeness of the package along with its mobile integration and understanding of company structures made edays stand out from the competition. The price was right, and the system was perfect for our requirements. Gone are the paper forms, inaccurate reporting, and confusing hours spent rummaging through half dog-eaten paper trails. We now have an accessible, single-point-of-truth for all of our absences across the company. Managers can administer and oversee/audit absence much more thoroughly and responsively.”

“As an introduction to a company that hasn’t used this kind of software before, our experience has been a really good one. The flexibility is great – we’ve set up various custom absence types in the system, which has really helped us to reduce admin time spent on requests. For example, we’ve got a medical appointment one and that is limited to four hours. So if someone tries to put that in for a day, it won’t allow them to do it. It’s such a time-saver.

To get everyone on board with a new system is often hard, but everyone I’ve spoken to seems to really enjoy using it. It’s straightforward, it’s not complicated, it’s really clear; you can see your leave, entitlement, working pattern. And I think that’s the key thing when you’re introducing this kind of system to people.”
