See who's in, who's off,
and what it's costing you —
before Monday morning.
Logbook replaces the tangle of spreadsheets, email chains, and sticky-note calendars your HR team uses today — with a single, clean roster every manager can trust.
Requests handled before they fill your inbox.
Every 'how many days do I have left?' message is a minute of your morning you're never getting back. Logbook gives employees the answer before they think to ask.
| The spreadsheet way | The Logbook way |
|---|---|
| Employee emails HR asking about leave balance | Employee checks their live balance in the self-serve portal |
| HR opens three spreadsheets to calculate remaining days | Balance updates automatically after each approved request |
| Request submitted via email, sits in inbox over weekend | Request submitted in 30 seconds from mobile or desktop |
| No visibility on team coverage before submitting | Color-coded calendar shows who's already off that week |
| Duplicate requests, overlapping leave, discovered too late | Conflict alerts fire before the request is submitted |
Saves minutes, every single day.
Start Your Free RosterOne tap. Done. No chasing.
Approval chains that live in email threads are approval chains that stall. Operations managers need a decision surface that travels with them — not one buried in a CC chain.
| The email chain way | The Logbook way |
|---|---|
| Approval request arrives via email, easily missed | Push notification with full context lands on manager's phone |
| Manager must check wall calendar for team coverage | Coverage view loads inline — approve or decline in one tap |
| Approval confirmed by reply email, no audit trail | Decision timestamped and logged automatically |
| Employee left waiting, follows up two days later | Employee notified the moment decision is made |
| Delegating approvals during your own leave is a manual nightmare | Delegation rules set once, activate automatically |
Saves hours per manager, per month.
Start Your Free RosterQuarter-end numbers finance can actually trust.
Absence cost data that lives in someone's memory or a colour-coded tab isn't data — it's a liability. Logbook turns every approved request into a line your finance director can export on demand.
| The month-end scramble | The Logbook way |
|---|---|
| Absence costs reconstructed manually from payroll exports | Real-time cost dashboard with salary-weighted absence totals |
| Statutory limit tracking done in a separate spreadsheet | Automated alerts when any employee approaches their statutory cap |
| Patterns (Monday sickness, post-holiday spikes) invisible | Trend charts surface patterns before they become HR cases |
| Finance requests report, HR spends half a day building it | One-click export: CSV, PDF, or direct to payroll integration |
| Historical data lost when HR generalist changes roles | Full audit history retained, searchable, role-controlled |
Saves budget. Full stop.
Start Your Free RosterThe whole year, suddenly
manageable in a single glance.
Join operations managers and HR teams who've retired their absence spreadsheets for good. Setup takes less time than your next "how many days do I have left?" email.
