Employee Holiday Bookings
The new Holiday Booking system has now been released and available to purchase. it is an 'add on' module to the Windows Data Collection system (see sample screen shot below). The tablet version will follow some time in the future.
- Employees will now be able to provisionally book their holidays from the shop floor data collection system.
- Entries are checked so as to comply with company notice requirements and maximum allowed on holiday (group settings).
- A Redant operator will be sent an email message of the provisional booking
- The employee will be notified via the data collection messaging system when approved or rejected.
- Holiday bookings can be applied to the wages report for payment.
- Employees can view their current and future holiday year's bookings
- Booking conflicts can be seen by the employee if the group maximum has been reached.
- Full integration with a shared Outlook Holiday Calendar so staff and production managers are notified of pending holidays
- Holiday entitlement, booked and balance are recorded for the current holiday year as well as the following year
- Holiday year start and finish settings
- Holiday hours for full days or Am / Pm settings
We believe the Holiday Booking system will save you many hours of administration time and make it easier for an employee to book and manage their holidays with very little staff involvement.
The module can be purchased for a one off fee of £650+vat. To secure your copy then please email sales@redantsoftware.co.uk. We are now in a position to demonstrate the new module working or if you have the latest version of Redant you can see it for yourself. You will not however be able to book holidays without the module being activated. See the Support Portal for setup and operation.
Job Due Dates Outlook Calendar Integration
Redant can now integrate the Job orders module with a shared Outlook calendar. Job due dates are posted to the calendar so production managers can see what is due out daily, weekly and monthly. If the calendar is combined with the new Holiday Module as a single calendar (they can use different calendars) then users can see at a glance the complete picture in one. This is now available in the latest Redant update with a user document on how to go about setting it up.

Main Menu Beta
There is a beta version of the new main menu system available which you may or may not like. You can switch between the two versions by selecting Maintenance>Setup>Classic Menu. This new menu design will feature when Redant II is released with many more features. More on this at a later date. We welcome any comments on this new format or ideas which will steer the design of the new software.

Do you know of anyone who would benefit from using the Redant system?
We are offering free training and report writing services for any sales leads which result in an official order being placed.
As an incentive for a potential new customer to switch to the Redant system, we offer a trade in value for their old system of up to 25% on a like for like basis with the possibility of data transfer.
