What Makes Simple Leave Different
Built on Real-World Experience
Our Excel planners at dhxsoft.com have been refined over years of customer feedback. We know what works because we’ve seen it in action across thousands of businesses. Simple Leave inherits this battle-tested approach to leave management, bringing proven workflows into a modern cloud platform.
No Spreadsheet Limitations
- Real-time collaboration: Multiple people can work simultaneously without file conflicts or version control nightmares
- Automatic calculations: Leave balances, accruals, and carryovers update instantly across the entire system
- Mobile access: Approve requests, check team calendars, and submit time off from anywhere
- Automated notifications: No more chasing emails—everyone stays informed automatically
- Secure and backed up: Your data is protected with enterprise-grade security and automatic backups
- Role-based permissions: Give employees, managers, and HR exactly the access they need
Flexibility Without Complexity
We learned from our Excel planners that businesses need flexibility—different leave types, varying work patterns, custom policies, and country-specific requirements. Simple Leave handles all of this elegantly:
- Unlimited leave types: Annual leave, sick days, parental leave, time in lieu—configure whatever your business needs
- Approval workflows: Email based approval chains that match your organisational structure
- Multiple locations: Manage teams across different countries with location-specific holidays and policies
- Hourly and daily tracking: Support both traditional day-based and hourly leave tracking in the same system
Quick to Implement, Easy to Use
If you can use a spreadsheet, you can use Simple Leave. Our interface is designed around familiarity—visual calendars, intuitive forms, and clear reports that feel natural from the first login. Most teams are fully operational within a day, not weeks.
Reporting That Matters
Good reporting shouldn’t require pivot tables or formula expertise. Simple Leave aims to provide clear, actionable insights:
- Team availability calendars: See who’s off at a glance, plan resources effectively
- Leave balance summaries: Track allowances, used days, and pending requests across your organisation
- Compliance reports: Generate audit trails and historical data when you need it
- Export capabilities: Get your data out in formats you can actually use
Reporting capabilities will be a focus as we head into 2026 and beyond.
Built for the Future
While our Excel planners will continue to serve businesses who prefer spreadsheet-based solutions, Simple Leave represents our vision for modern leave management. It’s cloud-native, designed to scale with your business as it grows.
We’re not trying to be everything to everyone. We’re focused on doing leave management exceptionally well for small and medium-sized businesses—the companies that need powerful functionality without complexity, and professional features without premium prices.
