See how we created a leave management application to improve the leave management system in our organization.
The project’s goal was to create a leave management application with four panels dedicated to specific roles in our organization: users, leaders, administrators, and HR managers. We wanted to create a comprehensive environment for managing leave requests and an organization’s leave policy.
To succeed, our application had to be easy to use and accessible to non-tech users. So that our team focused also on UI and UX design to help users find needed information and perform actions as fast as possible.

Our development team encountered three significant challenges during work. Check out what these were.
01
Vue.js – Recognition of a New Technology
02
App’s Integration with MS Office
03
Fullfill The Needs of Different Roles in The Organization
Our team faced three main challenges at the beginning of conceptualizing the application.
To give our colleagues a tool that satisfy various needs, our leave management applications consists of 4 panels that are dedicated to users, admins, leaders and HR managers.
Each panel is tailored to the specific needs of specific user role, making it easier and more efficient for them to navigate and use the application.
Thanks to intuitive UI, users, administrators, leaders, and HR managers can quickly get to a specific feature they need to use.
The application is a knowledge base on users’ leaves – everyone can see who and on what dates is absent from work. As a result, it is easier to plan project activities, knowing in advance which project team’s members and when will be absent without having to ask them. It’s a helpful feature, especially for managers that lead different teams.
Thanks to the accessible leave request form, users can request a day off with a few clicks and easily indicate the holiday period on the calendar. There’s no need to tick the weekends or bank holidays because they are automatically excluded from the overall number of days off.
After completing the form, they receive e-mail notifications that the request was sent. And in a dashboard, they can check its status.
Users don’t have to use the application to know their request’s status because they receive an e-mail notification. The same feature belogns to HR managers who are notified via e-mail about users that used all of their leave days and users that don’t have assigned leave days in the application.
As a result, users and HR managers don’t have to track every change in the application.
The leave management application helped to organize and structure our company’s leave policy. On the one hand, we created a tool that helps managers and leaders to cope with their leave-managing duties. On the other hand, it makes it much easier for users to manage their leave days, including requests for a day off.
The challenges our developers faced during the work process were the application’s great benefits. Especially the integration of the app with employees’ Microsoft Office’s accounts helps them be on track with their requests’ status.
The leave management application is the first part of a bigger project. In the future, we plan to combine it with our second solution – a tool that recommends project resources and helps managers create project teams. Thanks to graph databases technology, the solution perfectly matches specialists with specific tech skills and a project.
