Calamari is a cloud-based human resources solution that offers two best-of-breed modules: leave management and clock in or out services. The software is suitable for small to midsize businesses in any industry and offers Android and iOS mobile apps.

Users seeking a leave management system can use Calamari’s online tool, which automates PTO calculations and offers an absence calendar that integrates with Google Apps, Jira, Slack and more. Calamari allows users to configure different workflows for different types of absences and automatically apply their company’s leave policy.

Users can click a button in a browser, scan a QR code, type a Slack command or even use iBeacons to automate clocking in based on location arrival. Timesheets can be edited and employees can request changes on their timesheet.

Calamari is available on a per employee per year basis.

    The system is very easy to use, not just for admins but also for users; it is clean system; and employees do it themselves without asking for admin help; system can be used any where and not just at work;

    Cons

    Sometimes, and very seldom, the system has loading errors and therefore cannot be used; it will also be great if it can be on a mobile app;

    Pros

    Calamari is just a great way to do something simple - manage holidays. Remote work, sick days, holidays, all of it is just thrown into calamari so you can monitor who is where.

    Cons

    There's not much I don't like about Calamari - I guess one thing is that it seems to respond slowly from time to time!

    It is a software of easy handling that allows to take the supervision of the personnel regarding their vacations and absences so as not to make any mistake when granting them or making the respective discounts

    Pros

    It is a very easy and explanatory software that allows the organization to take internal control regarding vacations and absences, granting the same to those who really deserve it and keeping the staff in the company.

    Cons

    Nothing in specific allows to give the necessary information at the moment that is required regarding the human resource that is played in the organization

    Visibility for managers to track time off.

    Pros

    I like the simple and elegant UI, it integrated to Google Suite and Slack with ease. My colleagues giggled about the name and had no idea what I was talking about at first. The designers liked the logo. Awesome customer service!

    Cons

    It doesn't seem to show true YTD absences, only all approved (which can be in the future). But they seem to constantly roll out updates, so I'm sure it will be possible in the next month or so.

    Saves me a ton of time and makes it extremely easy to request PTO and absences.

    Pros

    Extremely straightforward for tracking PTO and absences, both requesting and approving. It's great to have a single place to verify all of the requests I've made so I can plan out the days where I'm out of office.

    This software saves me so much time.

    Cons

    Some of the interface looks a little dated, but it's still very useable and intuitive. Ultimately, not many cons that I can think of.

    It's super easy to navigate. Foolproof. Simple. My rep is super helpful, friendly and patient. My employees love it. It's seriously as easy as clicking a button. Anyone can use this software.

    Cons

    I wish there was a way to see more of the GPS feature. It's hard to know exactly where the clock in/out is because it only shows a small area. I also wish there were representatives in the US for quicker help.

    The benefits are multiple Calamari is very easy to use, and transparent. With this software you will have ease of use, functionality, product quality and guaranteed customer service.

    Pros

    I like most about this software is that it is easy to administer and you can plan and track, answer questions from your employees, and have specific and crucial characteristics that companies need to provide an efficient management system. In addition, it is available in 4 languages English, Spanish, French and Polish.

    Cons

    The price could be a little more optimal, I would like to have the opportunity to insert collective festivities, to include all the employees in the calendar. However, it is nice to be able to connect through social networks.

    We recommend this software to all types of companies!

    Cons

    The price could be slightly more optimal, otherwise it is OK. We would like to have a chance to insert collective holidays, to put all employees in the calendar at the same time. However, the Calamari group always helps.

    I got a grasp on managing the absence for 12 employees in my company. The software is well done, it could be implemented by guiding the user with country based guideline information for managing HR.

    Pros

    The intuitive interface, the support and the intuitive settings. The support especially is very nice and follows you from day 1 with all the feedback and help you need
