Discover how AttendanceBot helped Code For Africa perfect a digital-first workspace by simplifying employee training administrative burden.

The Objective

Before AttendanceBot, Code For Africa relied on google docs and spreadsheets for leave applications and approvals, which was not only time consuming and error-prone for the organization, but a source of regular frustration among employees. Staff regularly forgot to log in or request leave, even sometimes how to submit leave in the first place, and admins were dedicated considerable time just tracking down and collating historical time off data.

The Solution

While searching Slack’s recommended apps, Code For Africa came across AttendanceBot and quickly realized they’d stumbled on an answer.

Instead of requesting balances or days off from a manager and admin, and relying on complex formulas to keep track of current and future balances, employees are now able to view balances or request leave with just a few keystrokes in Slack, their managers and HR can instantaneously approve, and everyone let AttendanceBot handle the calculations and reporting.

The Result

Code For Africa knocked a their goals out of the park!
