About this company

Vacation Tracker helps companies innovate and grow with software that's functional, reliable, and easy to use. As a young start-up, they faced a dilemma many growing businesses face – it was getting hard to track their team’s time off. Old-school tools such as spreadsheets were getting too confusing and time-consuming because there was too much manual work prone to errors. They spent weeks looking for a solution but were surprised at how difficult it was to find an app that met their needs. Eventually, It had become clear to them that businesses like theirs needed a simple but powerful solution to track time off. And thus, their search for the perfect leave-tracking app led to the creation of their own: Vacation Tracker.

What does it mean to succeed? They define success as the transfer of their knowledge and experience in the tech industry to their clients. The way they see it, they are not successful if they aren’t using their expertise to help their clients achieve great things.
