### "Great tool for small to mid size buisnesses."

December 10, 2018

5.0

Pros

Easy to use for employees to schedule time off. I like that you can see availability of days before requesting them off.

Cons

Haven't found any cons on the software/website yet.

### "Bindle does exactly what it says it does and does it well "

June 15, 2020

5.0

Very positive. Bindle saves me so much time tracking, approving, and reporting time off and has eliminated all discrepancies. It was the perfect solution as we did not want or need additional HR functionality. The branding does a good job of communicating the overall feel of the site. It was easy to set up and pass over to the team to book and track their own time off and gave managers easy oversite. Customer service was wonderful with the few questions I did have.

Pros

Bindle was easy to set up, while still having all the options I needed for my team. It saves me so much time tracking vacation form my team and everyone can track their own balances which saves time and conflict at the end of the year.

Cons

Specifically, when looking to add a new company-wide holiday the Action buttons were out of the screen and I didn't scroll past 2021 and 2022 to look for the ADD NEW EVENT. So I added a company-wide vacation day which I then had to undo (one by one) until I got support and created what I really intended.

Reason for choosing Bindle

It is sometimes difficult to choose a product where most work is in the setup and you are committed before you really know how it will work. So I have to admit the VW Bus logo is what appealed to me. That is not to say I didn't do my homework but initially I appreciated a well-designed logo and hoped the product was engineered with the same thoughtfulness. In the end, I needed a vacation tracking software and Bindle does exactly that and does it well. I work with a team of talented software engineers who can be critical of bad software (yes they checked your accrual calculations) but they have had positive feedback about Bindle. I am very happy with the decision to purchase Bindle.

### "Bindle is great for seeing the whole office leave however there are still a few issues"

April 30, 2018

3.0

Pros

The Wall chart is great to enable us to see leave in advance and also the ease of applying for leave works well.

Cons

The leave balances aren't always correct, it's hard to adjust when someone is only taking 2 hours instead of half a day, etc

Review Source

Response from Bindle Software

May 7, 2018

Hi Lisa. Thanks so much for your review. Hmm. Not sure what you mean about adjusting the length of time taken. Using Bindle you're able to book 2 hours off. You're also able to amend any booking in Bindle if you need to take more or less time. If you're a Bindle admin you can also manually adjust people's balances by any amount. We'll follow up separately to go through all this with you.

### "Leave Management made easy"

January 18, 2021

5.0

For us this has solved the age old issue of lots of spreadsheets, keeping them up to date, not having records matched, not recalling when someone is due for leave, no consistency amongst forms etc etc. And in addition, for the company to assess entitlements and encourage staff to take leave and reduce the accounting liability.

Pros

We were able to switch from multiple spreadsheets to an all in one location. We couldn't even manage & accrue leave this simply with MYOB, in particular allowing staff access to view their entitlements, and simply apply and have their leave approved. The extra features such as Time in Lieu and long service accrual are great as well. Also very good support, our requests were answered promptly and even some suggestions integrated.

Cons

Only minor issues - No direct method for external HR Management without a sub. Has a roundabout way of doing reports (cant view online). A lot of clicking to get to detail for employees - i.e. needs a one page view summary. Could use a leave cash out request form. Can't do groups for section Admins - have to assign per user.

Reason for choosing Bindle

Needed a product that complied with Australian rules for entitlements and accruing leave especially long service leave for which there are different rules in different regions.

### "Easy to use and affordable"

January 22, 2024

5.0

Pros

Love how easy Bindle is to use for tracking our PTO management of staff and the visibility it gives everyone. \[sensitive content hidden\] has always been quick to respond to questions and has been very helpful in assisting in any need I have. I used Bindle at a previous employer and liked it so much I brought it to our company when I joined.

Cons

Sometimes the responses are a bit delayed due to Bindle being based on the other side of the world/in another country, but they respond to questions as quickly as they see them during normal business hours.

### "Wonderfully simple"

March 16, 2018

5.0

I don't have to track my employees on a spreadsheet anymore - takes a lot less time to approve & keep track of when people are away.

Pros

Its focused on doing one thing really well. Thats all we needed. Whenever we have small product questions or feedback, the team responds very quickly.

### "Very large company using it "

March 16, 2019

5.0

We’ve enjoy it

Pros

Price, easy to teach and use, easy setup and company helps assist. Nice dashboard, reporting

Cons

Cannot assigns more than 1 person to approve, so if someone is on vacation, items need to be manually switched. Would like to assign heirchy of approved. Also would like to move people from one area or region to another in bulk- not one by one

### "Great little solution that keeps managing holidays etc simple"

February 13, 2018

4.0

Pros

The ability to synch to our own calendars and the way the approval process works is great. We also like the fact it easily manages what's left.

Cons

Could do with some improvements to the navigation for an admin, in particular the company settings although it all made sense in the end.

December 18, 2017

5.0

Ease of use.

Pros

The simplicity, user-friendliness and minimalist design. Does everything you need without the clunkiness.

Cons

Like everything so far. The only way I could think of improving Bindle is the addition simple charts, graphs or interesting visuals.

### "Great software to keep up with staff holidays"

September 19, 2018

5.0

If works fine, simple to use, amazing customer support.

Pros

Very easy to use, with many options. Bindle connects to other calendars, so you can see your staff days' off in your usual calendar. The Bindle guys are very helpful, we were missing a feature once and it was implemented within hours!

Cons

We need a calendar view, the wallchart is just not what your eyes are used to. Also at holiday booking a calendar option would be more user friendly than the drop down of dates.

### "Fantastic & easy to use!"

July 17, 2019

5.0

This tool has been fantastic! I would recommend to small-medium sized businesses. The customer support I have received from the Bindle team is quick and very helpful also. They ask and LISTEN to feedback. Thanks Bindle Team! :)

Pros

Bindle is a very simple, intuitive platform to use. We are a start-up business of now 30 employees across 3 different business groups. This system is quite generic so it allows us to customise it to what we require for each business and across various countries including Australia, US and Netherlands. Fun, casual user feel and look.

Cons

Tracking Time Off In Lieu can be difficult to manage.

### "My file cabinet is clean"

March 5, 2019

4.0

Having a fast efficient way to track vacation days has been a BIG time saver for us. No more paper copies or lost requests.

Pros

There are no more paper vacation requests cluttering up my file cabinet since the start of the new year! Its a great, quick way to handle vacation requests.

Cons

I would like to see a month by month calendar instead of the way it is broken down right now. It's not bad but would be nice to log on and see a calendar page of the current month. You have to set up and utilize a separate software to notify other staff if an employee is going to be gone. It would be convenient once the vacation day is approved to have a mass email go out alerting other employees of what staff member will be gone and when.

Hi Todd, Thanks for your kind words. Did you know there is an option in Bindle to CC all leave approvals to any email address you like. Maybe this will provide the alert to all employees you are looking for? If you need any help just email us at support@bindle.io. Thanks again. Howard

### "Great solution for small business "

June 5, 2020

4.0

Pros

Bindle is super easy to setup and have running to track all employee vacation or personal leave requests. We easily integrated a time in lieu option for ourselves. Bindle is affordable for a small business and beats tracking in excel any day !

Cons

Currently there is only 1 administrator type. It would be ideal if each department manager could have admin privileges for just their employees.

### "Individuals are more accountable, info is more accurate, processing payroll is much more efficient. "

June 11, 2018

4.0

Efficient time off management for team of about 15 people in a busy office.

Pros

Having a centralised place for all staff leave requests which is more efficient, reduces human error, saves paper and time. Clear summary on Wallchart which can be viewed in Outlook alongside other calendars.

Cons

Hours can't be customised as required. Need 15 minute intervals, eg. to show that a staff member is out of office for the day on personal or annual leave, but does 45 minutes work from home.

Hi Heather - Thanks for taking the time to review Bindle! Sounds like using Bindle is making quite a positive difference at Gresely Abas. We're looking at making time-off intervals more granular. We'll keep you informed.

### "Great attendance software for the money"

May 6, 2019

5.0

By using Bindle, we have cut down on the amount of paper use in our attendance process. It also saves time for both requesting time off and approving it.

Pros

This product is easy to administer and use. The app is great to use as well. We have just been using it since the beginning of the year and I have only heard positive things from our employees.

Cons

The one thing that I don't like is switching between days and hours when looking at balances & bookings. We have one type of PTO that is by the day and another that is by the hour. It would be nice to be able to use different timing by the category.

helps track PTO which is exactly what i needed it to do.

Pros

i've reached out to customer support twice and received thorough, quick feedback. very responsive and that is much appreciated.

Cons

i wish the calendar functionality had an actual calendar so you could see the date on a month view.

### "Very intuitive software"

June 27, 2017

5.0

Pros

I find it easy to use and understand. This is significant as I am not particularly a 'techie' type. I particularly like being able to see the organization's calendar before I approve a vacation, which helps in making a decision.

Cons

It would be great to have this interface with Outlook calendar. When I approved vacation time it would be nice to have this show up on Outlook. I still have to do this manually in order to keep track of when people in my department will be gone.

Hi Martha - Thanks for the 5 star review! So it turns out you can already see Bindle bookings in Outlook! All you need to do is log in to Bindle, go to the Wallchart, and click on the link at the very bottom called "View the Wallchart in your own calendar". Presto! Now Outlook will automatically contain all your Bindle bookings. Here's a blog article all about it.... https://www.bindle.io/blog/calendar-feed Thanks again!

November 25, 2018

Pros

Simple and quick to use. Features a good amount of customisation options without being too complex

Tracking of employees out of the office as well as my own vac. time used.

Pros

It is a very easy to use program. I also like the dashboard so you can see who is out that day and who is not to plan accordingly for the day.

Cons

No enough info to chose from - need work from home options. It would be nice to show who is working from home and when as well as have it approved by management.
