What Turbine is

Turbine provides online tools for purchase orders, expenses, time-off requests, and employee records. Users can create and manage purchase orders, while employees submit expense claims with receipts and supporting documents. Staff can request holidays, sick days, and other leave, with managers able to approve or reject requests. Flexible approval rules, cost-centre budgets, and approved-vendor lists support purchasing and expenses. Turbine lists a native Slack integration, Zapier connections to more than 8,000 apps, and Office 365 and Google sign-in and calendar syncing. It has web access and works in phone and tablet browsers, though the support article says there is no native mobile app. Plans start with Tiny at $8 a month for two users; Small is $35 a month for 3–20 users, Medium is $79 a month for 21–50 users, and Large is $159 a month for 50–250 users. A 30-day trial is listed, but there is no free plan. Turbine says it has no API or direct accounting-package integration.
