One of the primary benefits of O3’s TOB software is that it was built from the ground up with transparency as a core philosophy. Transparency in the annual vacation bidding process allows all parties to be involved and feel empowered.

Time Off Bidding is a fast and easy way for employees to select their desired vacation. At a glance they can see how their options and selections are being affected by other employees in their Time Off bid groups. Colors quickly alert employees to opportunities (Green), their current selections (Blue) and areas where you may wish to make other choices (Red).

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.
