Vendoo's success story with Factorial

The challenge: Keeping up with Vendoo's rapid international growth

Vendoo relied heavily on spreadsheets for critical HR functions like time tracking, PTO approvals, and expense management. As Vendoo grew, this manual system proved to be inefficient and error-prone. They began adopting different platforms to help their HR team; however, the admin burden continued to grow and errors were still occurring.

Employees lacked visibility into PTO balances, while HR spent excessive time handling inquiries, tracking days off, and updating calendars manually. Disorganized document storage and fragmented workflows caused frequent errors, such as missed PTO requests. As Vendoo expanded internationally, managing payroll, benefits, and time off across time zones grew increasingly complex. Revealing the critical need for an HR solution that can scale.

Delays due to manual work

PTO requests involved multiple steps, back and forth communications, and manual calendar updates, creating unnecessary work for the HR team. This harmed their efficiency and caused delays in completing their daily tasks.

Error-prone workflows

As Vendoo grew, spreadsheet-based tracking led to frequent errors in leave balances, hours logged and expense reports, causing frustration for everyone involved.

Managing different time zones

Managing an international workforce in different time zones, languages, and local regulations has made coordination almost impossible with existing tools. It led the team to work in a fragmented way.
