Management
O3’s TOB is packed with powerful features that make it a staffing, management, and finance department favorite.
Staffing Office
Many of O3’s clients have a dedicated staffing department that are responsible for the annual vacation process. If their process is paper based, then a tremendous administration burden is placed on department staff to collect and process the time off request.
TOB alleviates the administrative burden with the following features:
Employee Self-Service – Employees make their own vacation selections, update passwords, and pull their own reports.
Sudo Access – Staffers can access the application on behalf of an employee to place bids. This is extremely useful for incidents where an employee cannot use the system.
Simple Setup – TOB has a single standard import file that allows bulk loading of new users. This makes setup a snap. TOB also features a “Bid Readiness” tool. This clearly identifies which users are not eligible for bidding and what information needs to be provided.
Managers
In addition to the Staffer benefits which result in a drastic reduction of labor hours, TOB offers managers with important and useful features:
Simple Management – Once the system has been configured for first use maintenance is a breeze.
Bid Groups – Within TOB management of Bid Groups can be accomplished with a few clicks.
Allowed Off – TOB allows managers to customize the number of available time off slots.
Post Bidding Functionality – TOB allows managers to select how and when reports are finalized and available for distribution.
System Support – O3 has an automated and streamlined support system. Creating tickets is as simple as sending an email.
Finance & Executives
TOB provides Finance and organization Executives the unique ability to aggregate, visualize, and implement controls on the annual vacation process.
