Case Study: Buffer achieves transparent, visible time-off tracking with Timetastic

Buffer - Customer Case Study

Buffer is a fully remote company known for its strong “default to transparency” culture, but as the team grew past 80 people, managing time off became harder. They needed a clearer way to track absences, see who was out on any given day, and manage vacation requests without relying on scattered forum posts and email threads. Buffer also wanted better tracking of annual leave usage and its “unsick day” policy.

Timetastic provided the solution by giving Buffer a transparent, easy-to-use time-off tracker with Slack and Google Calendar integrations. Buffer now shares team-wide absences in Slack and includes a weekly Google Calendar snapshot in its internal newsletter, giving everyone visibility into upcoming time off. According to Buffer, Timetastic has improved flow, increased participation in its minimum vacation policy, and become an essential tool for managing a globally distributed team.
