😒 THE PROBLEM

In November 2014 Ryan and I started No Divide and over the past 3 years we’ve tried various ways on managing staff leave, so we set out to find a tool to help us.

Our wish list was as follows:

Avoid the use of spreadsheets.

Work for remote teams.

Considered design.

Integrate with Slack.

Be easy to setup.

Under £20 a month, ideally.

As expected, there were products that fulfilled some of these, but never all. We were left with a choice, either use a product we were not entirely happy with or build our own.
