Pookiy

Skip the paperwork and start capturing time the way people actually work. In Pookiy, staff can run a timer, pick quick presets (9–5, field visit, remote), or drop in blocks like “2h — Client Alpha — invoice review.” Keyboard shortcuts speed up entry at a desk, while mobile check-ins keep field teams current without a laptop. If someone forgets to clock out, Pookiy spots the gap and offers a suggested fix with a reason code. Categories, tags, and notes make later analysis useful—slice by client, project, or cost center. Agencies can separate billable from internal work; engineering can tag sprint tasks; content teams can track campaign effort for postmortems.

Leads and managers close the loop on Fridays. A review queue highlights what needs attention: unsubmitted weeks, overtime spikes, duplicates, or missing breaks. Click any person to compare entries against the planned schedule, then approve, request an edit with a comment, or bulk-approve the whole group. Configure rules once—rounding, daily limits, required breaks—and let the system apply them consistently. When it’s time to run payroll, export approved hours in a couple of clicks (CSV/XLSX or a connected payroll app), complete with an audit trail that shows who changed what and when.

Time away is just as straightforward. Team members open the shared calendar, choose dates, pick a leave type, and see their balance and policy impact before submitting. Potential conflicts appear in-line—like two people from the same shift off—along with suggested alternatives. Multi-step approvals route automatically to the right reviewers, and gentle follow-ups keep requests moving. Once approved, events sync to personal calendars, Slack/Teams channels, and the team view, so coverage is clear and handoffs happen early. Policy controls cover accrual rates, carryover, blackout dates, and special programs without spreadsheet gymnastics.

To support culture and well-being, Pookiy adds small, configurable touches. Birthdays and work anniversaries post to the channel you choose with message templates you control—celebratory, not spammy. Break nudges arrive at the right local time and only on workdays, helping people reset without interrupting deep work. Live dashboards show capacity, utilization, and attendance trends; filters by team, location, or project reveal where workloads need rebalancing. Admins can stand it up in under an hour: import people, map departments, define policies, assign approvers, connect SSO, and you’re live. Role-based permissions, notifications, and data export are built in, so HR, finance, and managers each get what they need without stepping on each other’s toes.
