Leave Management Software and HR Tools Your Team Can Build Today

  • PTO Tracking Software Without a New Platform — Turn a time-off spreadsheet into real pto tracking software with balances, request status, and approvals in one place, instead of an email chain.

  • An Employee Onboarding System Built on Your Sheet — Get the structure of an employee onboarding platform (checklists, equipment, account setup) on top of the spreadsheet your team already trusts.

  • Leave Tracking That Doesn't Live in Someone's Inbox — Keep an employee vacation tracker and leave tracking system in one shared view, so managers and staff both know exactly where a request stands.

  • Employee Records, Searchable and Permission-Controlled — Keep employee contact info, role, and status in one place your team can search, with role-based access so only the right people see sensitive fields.

  1. Connect Your Sheet — Securely select the PTO, onboarding, or employee spreadsheet your team already uses. GoodTaco reads the columns and structure automatically.

  2. Describe What You Need — For example: "Build pto tracking software from my time-off spreadsheet. Add balances and an approval step."

  3. Share With Your Team — Publish the app and control who can view or edit records. Your data stays in Sheets, and your team updates it directly.

Why Small Business HR Teams Skip the Software Overhaul

  • Skip the HR Software Overhaul — No new system to license, train staff on, and roll out company-wide. GoodTaco builds real pto tracking software and onboarding tools on top of the spreadsheet your team already updates.

  • Your Spreadsheet Stays the Source of Truth — No migrating employee data into a new database before your team trusts it. GoodTaco reads from and writes back to the sheet you're already keeping current.

  • Share Safely — Built-in authentication and role-based access mean you control who can view sensitive employee records versus who can only submit a leave request.

  • Scales From One Team to the Whole Company — Whether you're supporting a small team or a full workforce, the same app keeps working without a rebuild. Explore more on theFeatures page.

PTO Tracking Software FAQs

Do I need a developer to build this?

GoodTaco is designed specifically for non-technical HR departments. Just explain your needs in everyday language, and it will generate the app directly from your existing spreadsheet.

What happens to our PTO or onboarding spreadsheet?

It stays exactly where it is. GoodTaco reads from and writes back to it, so your spreadsheet remains the source of truth your team already trusts.

Can employees submit their own PTO requests?

Yes. Role-based access lets you control who can submit a time-off request versus who reviews and approves it.

How is this different from just sharing the PTO spreadsheet?

A shared spreadsheet breaks down fast once more than one person is submitting or approving requests, rows get overwritten, and there's no clear record of who approved what. GoodTaco gives you a real app on top of that same sheet: request status, balances, and permissioned approvals, without the spreadsheet chaos.

We've evaluated small business HR software in the past and found it to be overly complex. How is this different?

Most HR software for small business bundles in payroll, benefits, and compliance modules you may not need yet. GoodTaco builds just the piece you're missing (PTO tracking, onboarding, leave tracking) directly from the spreadsheet you already have, no bundled contract, no unused modules.

Is this secure enough for employee data?

Every app ships with built-in authentication and role-based access, and SOC 2 compliance is currently in progress.

Can this scale as our headcount grows?

Yes. The same app handles a small team or a full company without needing to be rebuilt.
