Before using Productive, I would have to spend 8 hours to figure certain numbers out. Now, I have those numbers in real time, at a glance.

No Need for an HR Tool To Manage Time Off

Approve Vacation Request

When a teammate requests time off, their manager needs to approve it in Productive.

Time Off Automatically Becomes Part of Your Resource Plans

As soon as a Time off request is approved, use a filter to see which teammates are on leave.

Having a platform that considers everybody’s salaries, as well as operating expenses, and feeds that into project budgets gives us a much more real-time and accurate view of the profitability of specific projects.

From a managerial point of view, the main benefit of the tool is seeing your profitability in real time. It’s there. We don’t have to calculate it or ask for financial reports from our accountant.

If it wasn’t for Productive, we would have struggled to steer our company’s growth. We tripled in size since we started using it.

Insights have become our central place to follow key metrics, analytics, numbers, graphs, and—simply said—the pulse of our agency. Currently it’s hard to imagine what our jobs would look like without insights. It’s a lock-in feature for us, for sure.
