Calamari helps in employees' time tracking management. It automates and simplifies processes connected to absences and timesheets. We provide support in the initial set up & employees' data import.
HR Chronicle serves everyone from SME to Enterprise customers in the GCC market.
It was definitely time for an upgrade. My staff loves how they can simply request off on the app on their phones, and the weekly reminders of who is in and who is out is great.
Even if something is not working or there is no such feature we needed we always could count on the Admin team.
The Calamari team walked us through every step, answered ever question, and were super personable. Great customer service and the software is truly amazing and easy to use.
There is no way to edit your time off request. If you make a mistake, the entire request has to be deleted, then the manager has to approve the cancellation, then you can resubmit the request.
It is very good for small companies like mine but also for bigger enterprises. I have recomended them to my customers and they are happy with Calamari too.
In 1 year, the annual cost almost doubled. And I dislike that some of the feature that was in the old and cheaper version was split into another product that you have to pay again.
The simplicity of setup and the ease of implementation was a fantastic experience. I always plan for a few "bumps in the road" but there was virtually zero complications when we launched.
I would say that the price is our worst handicap.
It has been a great tool overall and has been a great help in achieving our target to switch to the virtual platform brought about by the COVID issue.
The rounding off with payroll, the layout makes it confusing sometimes for non-payroll administrators to see. It's not possible to have every aspect of the system bespoke to your company needs.
I like that it is cloud based and has an app for users to download onto their mobile, the reporting tool is fantastic too.
Single template used for annual leave and business travel.
A Flexible and Cost effective product with Excellent technical support 24/7.
Ease to use, reports can be designed by the user and a excellent support team.
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.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
