The PTO Chaos You Know Too Well
Small teams don't need big HR systems — they just need a simple, reliable way to track who's off, when, and if it's been approved.
Hours wasted maintaining outdated spreadsheets that nobody trusts. Version conflicts, formula errors, and 'who has the latest file?' chaos.
Endless email chains asking 'Am I approved?' and 'Who's out next Friday?' buried in your inbox. Requests lost. Approvals forgotten.
PTO requests scattered across chat channels, direct messages, and threads. No record. No tracking. No accountability.

Teams Like Yours Love Symple Team
Real feedback from small teams who ditched their spreadsheets.
"We tried 3 different spreadsheet templates before finding Symple Team. Should've started here. Setup took 10 minutes."
"My team actually submits PTO requests now instead of just telling me in Slack. The shared calendar alone is worth it."
"Set it up during lunch, team was using it by 2pm. Finally something that doesn't try to sell me HR features I don't need."
