A Hungarian enterprise of 900 employees recorded holiday requests and approvals manually, which lead to several problems. The management had no real-time access to absences. The data could only be reconciled with schedule planning in a time-consuming and manual manner, and ad hoc changes were achieved with slow execution time. Moreover, the response time of the HR was slow, sometimes it took weeks to respond to the demands. The implementation of the ease++ Holiday paid off immediately from a human point of view, and financially 3 months later. Absences became immediately transparent to the production management and changes were reported in real-time. Employees were able to submit their needs conveniently and quickly with the help of the terminals located in the production area. HR was relieved of a significant administrative burden, so they could report back to the employee’s need for the absence within a day. Due to the terminals, feedback and approvals became easily accessible for employees. It is also an important aspect that the ease++ Holiday, unlike manual registration, stores and manages absence data through the software's authorization system, following the applicable data protection regulations.

A manufacturing company of 2.000 employees faced the problem that its engineers, despite defining the competency targets to maintain production quality, still experience deficiency months later. The grant of absence seemed to be the root of the problem because the team leaders did not know the competencies of the employees. They granted leave to employees with a certain competence which resulted in the absence of the minimum number of people required for production, and it led to intermittent low performance. The heatmap function of our ease++ Holiday software provided the right solution for the company. With the help of the function, the engineers entered the targets directly to the system, which was continuously monitored by the software. The competencies of the employees who requested holidays became transparent to the team leaders, and it also tracked the number of employees needed for production and warned the leaders if needed. With the help of a simple, graphical interface, these aspects were presented to the group leaders with colours to help them understand the requirements quicker. The number of rejects production was reduced to a minimum in a few months. By taking into account the engineering targets, and other important details, team leaders were able to plan vacations properly.
