Planning work can be tricky when people take vacation time. It is important to know if resources are available to take up tasks and issues. Our Zoho People integration does just that.
Zoho People Integration
Use case
Zylker Constructions manages their work in Zoho Projects. With a large number of people involved, they find the need to track leaves or time-offs taken by employees to plan their work and optimize task allocation. They feel the need for a leave tracking software that can show user availability to the manager. The manager can make decisions based on this information and allocate tasks to employees who are available on the given day. By integrating Zoho Projects with Zoho People, organizations can keep track of employee leaves and optimize their work allocation.
Monica Hemsworth, an architect of the construction company, must apply for two hours of leave. This process of requesting hourly leave can be simplified with Zoho People integration. This leave information will also be available in the Workload Report.
Refer to the screenshot below where Monica applies hourly leave in Zoho Projects with the integration of Zoho People.
