Seamless information flow and a stable software ecosystem in the company where all apps cooperate, enable employees to transfer their data between tools with ease. It's an effective way to optimize processes in an organization like work organization, project planning, and people management.
Because of those reasons, when developing Calamari, we placed great emphasis on integrations with our software to facilitate the daily work of entrepreneurs and their employees.
Check out which tools Calamari integrates with and what benefits it can bring to your organization.
The possibility to integrate office tools - both using built-in connection offered by devs and shared API documentation - greatly facilitates daily work. First of all, it allows efficient transfer of employees' accounts and data between individual tools. It improves the information flow and reduces the time needed to enter data manually.
The primal purpose of integrations is to enable companies to create an easy to use software ecosystem containing all the necessary data and instantly update them when an employee's status changes. In the case of HR management, tools can be very different but what connects them is the usability focused on managing leaves, remote work, onboarding, offboarding, and time tracking.
All those features exist to ensure an efficient HR management process free from errors and human mistakes. They help in project planning by giving managers the most recent and accurate information about the availability of their teams.
Calamari HR management software offers numerous integrations with the most popular office tools. They facilitate the information flow about the leave requests, remote work, work from home, maternity leave, and other changes in the employee's work time.
The solution works for various organizations types and minimizes the risk of human mistakes like incorrect data rewriting or losing attendance lists. Calamari integrations apply to both Clockin and Leave modules. They can significantly optimize the work of the HR department at low costs giving HR specialists more time to focus on recruiting, building company culture, and taking care of employees' work-life balance.
Calamari offers the following integrations:
In addition, our HR time tracking and leave management system allows building new integrations based on shared API documentation. Among the most popular solutions, our clients choose for their API integrations are clocking in/out using an ID card, fingerprint, or facial recognition.
In addition, we are open to the possibility of creating new integrations. Our customer success team cares about clients' needs and forwards them to experienced programs that work hard on developing new solutions to help companies in their everyday work.
When choosing Calamari, it's worth knowing how wide the range of possibilities of integrations and their features is. By using them, creating a working, simple, and easy-to-maintain company's software ecosystem becomes child's play.

Connecting Calamari to Google Workspace allows:
After turning the integration on, the absences, remote work, and holidays reported by employees will be synced with the Google Calendar, allowing convenient duties and projects planning. Data about employees' absences and remote work will automatically update as they'll change in Calamari.
Turning on the visibility of employee calendars to company's is a great way of communicating information about upcoming leaves, planned meetings, and projects between coworkers. This feature eliminates the need of clicking through calendars to manually update them. Managing tasks becomes much easier with a calendar view containing all relevant work events.
In addition to the ability to connect Calamari to Calendar, there's also an option for users of other calendars - like Apple or outlook. To use them with Calamari, first, it's necessary to turn on the calendar. When it's enabled, Calamari allows users to decide on:
The displayed data are automatically updated - like in the Google Calendar case. Thanks to this, it facilitates the information flow in the organization.

Jira is an advanced project management environment provided by Atlassian. Due to its functionality, it's the most popular in the IT and Hi-Tech industries. Therefore, integration absences with Jira are a convenient option for companies in these industries.
Thanks to the integration, it's possible to log to Calamari via Jira account and sync the reported absences as work clocks in Jira.
Due to Atlassian stopping supporting Jira for the Jira Cloud solution, Calamari has started working on an integration enabling connection with the new Atlassian tool. For now, it allows importing employees' files from the Jira Cloud account to Calamari and logging in to the HR system via the Jira Cloud account. There are plans for further development of this integration to allow syncing absences like in Jira.
Asana and Basecamp are two other project management tools besides Jira, with which Calamari can be easily integrated. Both allow logging in to Calamari using their account and importing employees' files.
Except for integrations mentioned above, Calamari shares its API documentation which allows using our HR management software in an individual way tailored to clients' needs.
To create such integration, the company needs a team of developers on their side to adapt the necessary components. Calamari also offers support and assistance with the integration process.
Among the most popular solutions chosen by clients, the following functionalities can be distinguished:
