Stop Being the Bottleneck on Every Leave Request
Signofly routes leave requests to the right approver automatically and keeps a record you can actually find later — so nobody has to chase an email, a WhatsApp thread, or you.
No credit card required. Set up your first workflow in minutes.
“Did You Approve That?” Is Not a Process
Ask any manager how leave requests get handled, and you'll hear some version of the same answer: an email here, a WhatsApp message there, maybe a sticky note on a monitor. It works — until someone misses a message, two people book the same week off, or HR gets asked six months later whether a request was ever formally approved.
None of this is anyone's fault. It's what happens when a process that needs structure runs on tools that were never built to provide it.
Why Excel, Email, WhatsApp, and Paper Forms Keep Letting You Down
Every popular workaround shares the same weakness — nothing moves unless someone remembers to move it.
Excel
Someone has to manually update the sheet and notify the manager. Two people editing at once breaks the “single source of truth.”
Requests get buried in minutes. No reminders, no status view, no clean record to search later.
Fast isn't the same as reliable. A thumbs-up emoji isn't a formal approval, and it disappears when someone leaves.
Paper Forms
A form has to physically reach a manager, get signed, and get filed — and filed paper has a habit of vanishing.
Manual Approval
Every version of this depends on someone remembering to act. No routing, no escalation, no audit trail.
Why Teams Switch to Signofly
Signofly isn't a bloated HR suite or a heavyweight BPM platform. It's built for one job: getting a leave request from submitted to decided, automatically — without anyone chasing it down.
You get an answer to “did you approve that?” in ten seconds instead of an afternoon of digging — and because pricing is flat, not per seat, your whole team is covered without the bill climbing every time you hire.
What Changes for Your Team
Never build a workflow twice
Set up the approval path once — one approver or a full manager-then-HR chain — and every future request follows it automatically.
Nobody waits on a template
Employees submit a leave request in under a minute, from any device.
Decisions happen where they land
Managers and HR approve or reject in one click, with an optional comment — no separate thread required.
No more “any update?” messages
Everyone sees exactly where a request stands, in real time.
The paperwork stays with the request
Medical notes, itineraries, anything relevant — attached directly, not lost in a separate email.
Never wonder who approved what
Every decision is timestamped and searchable, ready for compliance questions or disputes.
No one has to remember to check
Approvers are notified the moment action is needed; employees, the moment it's decided.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is leave approval software?
Software that manages submitting, reviewing, and deciding on employee time-off requests — replacing email, spreadsheets, and paper with a trackable workflow.
Is Signofly a full leave management system?
Signofly handles the approval workflow itself — submission, routing, decisions, documentation, and history. It doesn't calculate leave balances or accruals, so pair it with whatever already tracks that, and let Signofly handle getting requests approved.
How is Signofly different from BambooHR or Zoho People?
Those are broad HR platforms priced per employee, with leave as one feature among many. Signofly does one thing — approval workflows — at a flat monthly rate.
How is Signofly different from a BPM tool like Kissflow or Cflow?
BPM platforms are built for complex, multi-department process automation and usually take real setup time. Signofly is scoped to one job — request-and-approve workflows — so a small team can be running in under an hour.
Do I need to be a big company to use Signofly?
No. Signofly is built for small and growing teams, five people or fifty, who need a real process without enterprise complexity or pricing.
How much does Signofly cost?
A free plan to start, and a flat-rate Growth plan at $19/month — not per seat, so your whole team is covered at one price.
Can I try Signofly before paying?
Yes. Start on the free plan and test the actual workflow with your own team first.
How long does setup take?
Most teams have their first workflow running in well under an hour, with no onboarding call required.
How long does it take an employee to submit a leave request?
Under a minute — dates, reason, and an optional attachment, then it's routed automatically.
Can employees upload documents with their leave request?
Yes — medical notes, travel details, or anything relevant attach directly to the request.
What happens if a manager doesn't respond to a request?
The request stays visible and pending for both employee and manager — nothing silently disappears into an inbox.
Can I set up multi-step approvals, like manager then HR?
Yes. Build approval chains with as many steps as your process needs.
Is there an audit trail for approvals?
Every request, decision, timestamp, and comment is logged and searchable.
What happens to approval history if an employee leaves the company?
The record stays in your workspace — it's tied to the request and the workflow, not to the individual's account.
Does Signofly send notifications automatically?
Yes — approvers by email when a decision is needed, employees the moment it's made.
Does Signofly integrate with Slack or Google Calendar?
Not yet. Signofly currently notifies people by email; chat and calendar integrations aren't available today.
Can Signofly work for remote or distributed teams?
Yes — since it's browser-based and routes by workflow rather than by physical presence, it works the same whether your team is in one office or five time zones.
Can Signofly handle approvals besides leave requests?
Yes. The same workflow engine works for expense approvals, purchase requests, and similar processes.
How is my data protected?
Data is stored encrypted, authentication is handled securely, and access to a workspace is limited to the people you've invited to it.
What if I outgrow the free plan?
Upgrade to the flat-rate Growth plan anytime — your workflows and history carry over.

Every day you run leave approval through email and spreadsheets is another day of untracked requests and no real record of what happened. Signofly runs the workflow for you — and setup takes less time than reading this page.
