The operational and planning limits of spreadsheet-based leave tracking as teams grow.

Spreadsheets hide approval context
A sheet can show dates, but it rarely captures the decision flow behind requests. This creates confusion when managers or HR need audit history.
Visibility breaks under team growth
As more people and leave types are added, spreadsheets become harder to trust. Managers spend more time validating than planning.
Software turns policy into workflow
Dedicated leave tools embed balances, approvals and reporting into the daily workflow. That reduces manual checking and keeps data current.
