The client is an internal innovation team at Ariedge, focused on operational efficiency through enterprise AI. Their goal was to reduce HR dependency and empower managers with instant, on-demand leave data without relying on outdated spreadsheets or manual checks. 

The Challenges

Managers frequently faced challenges such as: 

• Delays in knowing who’s on leave for the day or week 

• Constant back-and-forth with HR for team availability updates 

• Lack of real-time visibility into leave status across departments 

Existing leave data was stored but underutilized due to lack of a user-friendly interface for non-HR personnel. The solution needed to be accurate, responsive, and integrated directly into the tools managers already use.
