Where did the need for a HR system come from?
We have been using Calamari for two years in another company, while at Saving Cloud we use it for six months. Here's the deal - we were a young company and until we, founders, were working alone there was no need to process vacation requests. As soon as the first full-time employee appeared, it was necessary to find a convenient way to count his working time and the amount of leave he was entitled to.
Hubert and Kamil (two of the Calamari's founders) created a special tool for this and we decided to use it. We were aware that there are various corporate combos on the market, but this was not an option at all. We were looking for something simpler.
