The Origin of Vacation Tracker

Vacation Tracker emerged from the struggles faced by a growing team at a previous services company that relied on cumbersome Excel spreadsheets to manage employee leave. During a company hackathon in 2017, Lav and his team decided to build a software solution to streamline this process. They created a simple landing page to gauge interest and initially gathered around 60 email sign-ups, but it took nearly nine months before they responded to market demand by launching their product. This delay taught Lav the importance of recognizing real market needs and the potential demand for their solution.
