Chose Beeline Extended Workforce Platform
I like the seamless functionality of Beeline and how it integrates into corporations that utilize the services for time and project tracking. Having a one-stop place for time approval and invoicing is a huge plus.
Chose Beeline Extended Workforce Platform
We have been using Beeline for quite some time now and we are happy with the services provided by them.
Chose Beeline Extended Workforce Platform
I have used Elance extensively in the past and Beeline is far better. Ease of use, communication, speed are much better on Beeline.

Chose Beeline Extended Workforce Platform
I prefer Beeline to other systems.
Chose Beeline Extended Workforce Platform
I have utilized IQnavigator, which is not appealing to the eye, does not provide too many options and is slower to take effect. Beeline, although it has room for improvement, is leaps and bounds better than the IQnavigator product.
Chose Beeline Extended Workforce Platform
I was not an active use of Fieldglass, but based on what I saw of its interface and functionality, the candidate and requisition management functions of Beeline were far superior - easier to use, and easier to make sense of the information it was being used for.
Chose Beeline Extended Workforce Platform
Again, I didn't select Beeline, our clients did. But in comparing these products from a user perspective, I would rank Beeline about on par with the rest. IQNavigator and Fieldglass are probably the best ones, and Covendis is by far the worst. The rest are fairly similar, and …

Chose Calamari
It was the only system that provided all of the features we required, including actiTIME, and was comprehensive enough to calculate various types of outages. Contactability with customer service, which is extremely quick, helpful, and friendly, and always resolves my problems, …
Chose Calamari
We previously managed all of our PTO within Excel, which did not allow us to automatically approve PTO based on various management levels, track specific teams allowance or substitute easily.
Chose Calamari
Overall, Calamari definitely did help our HR team to save tons of time spent on monitoring the leaves manually. What is more, our team members can see their history and current leave status live. We can surely see the difference using Calamari brought to our business.
Chose Calamari
Our HR department used Excel and paper request forms for our vacation management, and tracking working hours didn't exist. We were only obliged to sign a list when we were entering the office. Calamari is a huge improvement in every aspect of time tracking and vacation …

[Beeline VMS is well suited for] MSP's monitoring a contingent workforce. Could have a cheaper option for agencies to use on a sweeping basis with their clients. As some still use excel sheets and emails for contractors to submit their time. So having solutions for that level of service

Calamari should work fine for Small to Medium Businesses that want to keep track of their personnel's leave of absence, especially if they have different rules based on location, experience, etc. It also works adequately to allow for PTO to be approved based on a specific org structure (manager, then HR, etc).

Usability
I think Beeline is one of the best tools, I like Fieldglass the best but beeline comes in a close 2nd. Beeline is easy to navigate around for most things, it is a little difficult to find some information however most of the time it is pretty easy and nice to use

Happy with overall support from the representative. They do a great job!

Working with my rep is so easy and has been the selling point on this platform. I like that I don't have to think about it much, love the Slack integrations for my team and how easy it was to transition from our old process into Calamari. It's simple, clear, and for a small team, it has everything I need. The customer support team has always responded promptly when I need anything, and we were even able to extend our trial period in the beginning and converted to a paying customer shortly after.
