Vacation Planning

The Vocantas Communicate™ solution helps you plan your enterprise-wide vacation scheduling. Using the employee portal, your staff can select their vacation preferences during peak times with priority set by your internal rules. Employees will have access to the portal using their own mobile device or web browser. Send notifications when it’s time to log back in and confirm or make another selection. Remove the manual time and effort from your labour intensive vacation planning processes using the seamless innovation built into our Communicate solution.
