Scott: Hi, I'm Scott and I'm a director of Digital Ministries. I love Calamari and give it a solid five rating. And for more reviews like this, please click below. Before Calamari, we really were back in the stone age of keeping track of everything with paper and pencil. And so people would just submit a written request when they wanted to have time off and our HR person would keep track of that with a notebook. And so we made a big leap moving to Calamari, and it's been a tremendous change. We switched to Calamari for a lot of reasons. It integrated very, very well with QuickBooks and we loved that. It was easy to use, we went through the demo, we didn't have any problem figuring out how to utilize it right away. They had incredible customer service. We'd reach out with questions and get answers right away and really felt like we mattered. And our users also found it very user friendly. So there were so many positives. We've just loved the switch to Calamari. Getting started with Calamari, as with anything always takes a little bit of a learning curve, but it really wasn't that difficult. Having the help of the Calamari staff to guide us when we ran into little roadblocks was great and we really got it up and running within a day. If you're looking for something to help keep track of your vacation time and time off, I can't recommend Calamari strongly enough. It's been great for our organization. It's easy to use and everybody loves it. We have not had any complaints at all among the administration who runs it or the staff that uses it.
