A few improvement will make it near perfect but other than that its a very great tool especially for us working from home. Thanks . Pros What I liked the most is its interface. Very user-friendly. Easy to navigate, check and track my work time. Cons Since its so easy to navigate and very user-friendly I think its sacrifices the aesthetic look of it. Not a major con and i can live with it. That's just my feedback. Also, lack of customization for viewing date and time. As I have said, not a major drawback but having that kind of feature is great.

January 8, 2024 5.0 We needed a new solution for timekeeping and came through! Onboarding and integration was so easy. Once I figured out all the setting options, it's really easy to customize to exactly what you need. Employees love using it because it's so straight forward to use. Pros The system is user friendly and all my staff say its so easy to use. They love it! Which is a huge improvement from our last solution. I like that time off requests can also be handled within the same system. Cons There are a couple reports that I would like to see a bit more detail or formatted a little differently, but that's a wish not a need. It's very functional, just a couple things that could be nice to make it even more efficient. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Time](https://www.capterra.com/p/151722/TSheets/) Reason for choosing Buddy Punch PTO features, ease of use for employees, and supervisor view/access. Switched from [Procare Solutions](https://www.capterra.com/p/23486/Procare-Child-Care-Management/) Employee access was not as straight forward. Changes to timesheets were all manual and left employees with many errors. It took a lot of administrative time to manage. Payroll and timesheets were all paper/manual and no integration to payroll at all. Review Source Response from Buddy Punch January 9, 2024 Amanda, we're thrilled to hear that Buddy Punch has been a user-friendly and effective timekeeping solution for you and your team. Your feedback on report formatting is invaluable, and we're committed to exploring enhancements for even greater efficiency. Thanks for choosing us and for recognizing the ease of onboarding and customization! JK Jillian K. Operations Consultant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great System for Employee Time Tracking and More" March 26, 2024 5.0 Overall this platform has been a time saver and wonderful addition to our payroll and time management. Staff can clearly see their hours and submit for approval after they review. It allows for accuracy and transparency. Pros The time tracking part of the app and desktop versions is easy to use and was integrated fairly rapidly for staff. I especially like the report systems which include detailed reports breaking down time to the minute for full transparency. Time card approval and tracking PTO along with scheduling PTO is clear and easy to do. This system has made payroll so much easier overall. Cons For rural areas, if you don’t have a good WiFi or cell connection then you can’t clock in or out while “offline”. That being said, it has a note system that staff can add to so that Admins can edit their time punches. It would be nice if they could submit a later punch and admins can just approve it so that they don’t have to edit but it isn’t a deal breaker. Alternatives considered [OnTheClock](https://www.capterra.com/p/130009/OnTheClock-com/)[QuickBooks Time](https://www.capterra.com/p/151722/TSheets/) Reason for choosing Buddy Punch The design of the application and desktop version were preferable to the counterparts. I tried for a few weeks before deciding for our company and it was mainly for ease of use and convenience. Review Source Response from Buddy Punch March 27, 2024 Thanks a lot for your detailed insights, Jillian! We're thrilled to hear how our time tracking and detailed reporting systems have streamlined payroll, PTO management, and overall time management for your team, making everything more transparent and easier to handle. We understand the limitations in rural areas without strong WiFi or cell service and appreciate your suggestion for improving the process of submitting and approving time punches—definitely something we're considering. It's fantastic to know that Buddy Punch has not only saved time but also enhanced accuracy and transparency for your staff. Your feedback is invaluable, and we're committed to continuously improving your experience. Thanks for being such an important part of the Buddy Punch family! BP Bryan P. Staff Training Coordinator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "BuddyPunch: Time Tracking made easy" January 23, 2024 5.0 BuddyPunch has been very helpful and I am glad my organization made the switch from our previous tracker to BuddyPunch. As mentioned earlier, the ease of use of BuddyPunch is what separates it from a lot of competitors. Pros BuddyPunch makes employee time tracking very easy. Employees just need to be within a geofence (if one is set up) log in and punch in/punch out. They don't have to jump through endless steps for something that should be straightforward. The user interface is also very user friendly. Cons When integrating hours from BuddyPunch to QBO, it'll sometimes error out and you'll have to go back in a submit the hours that it did submit the initial time. It does not happen a lot, but when it does you just need to be sure to catch it to ensure all hours are submitted accurately. Alternatives considered [BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/) Reason for choosing Buddy Punch We chose BuddyPunch over other products after using their trial run to see how much you could actually do on BuddyPunch, it was just best fit for us. Switched from [QuickBooks Time](https://www.capterra.com/p/151722/TSheets/) Ease of use and more options for the employees we had.

LB Luis B. General Manager Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Complete, easy to use and inexpensive solution" March 22, 2023 5.0 The option to punch in and out with geolocation included was a big step forward. We configured the solution, employees and deployed the system in 2 days for 40 employees. The system doesn't require a permanent admin, it's easy to use and admin and the custom payroll report implemented has been a big help to integrate to our payroll system. Pros Easy to configure and deployEasy to use appGood payroll reportingGeolocation is easy to visualize. Cons Not really, even though we are not using it for scheduling , its covers our most pressing needs. Reason for choosing Buddy Punch The price point is the right for our small company, it's well suited for on the field personnel, not just for office workers. Review Source Response from Buddy Punch April 4, 2023 Thank you Luis for the review and detail of how your business is using Buddy Punch. It is great to hear that you're masking use of our GPS feature and that our reporting features are exactly what you need. We appreciate your business! MH Megan H. Accounts Payable Printing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Wonderful for employees!" February 14, 2023 5.0 From an employee perspective, is an excellent product! It is FAR superior to the paper clock-in sheets we previously used. (And my supervisor has told me how much easier it is for him to keep track of his employee's hours since switching to Buddy Punch). Pros I love how quickly you can log in to the site and just simply hit the "Clock In" button. The program is incredibly easy to use and required no training at all, which I really appreciated especially since I'm just a very part-time employee who only uses it once a week.It's also really nice to be able to see your cumulated hours for that pay period displayed clearly right next to the "clock in/out" button, so that you can anticipate how much your next paycheck will be (which is great for those of us with irregular working hours who may lose track of how many hours we've worked that pay period!) Cons The only (minor) con is that it seems like the clock-in page times out fairly quickly. Which is understandable, as it probably does that for security reasons. But sometimes if I only work for an hour or two, it would be convenient if the clock-in/clock-out screen was still up so I didn't have to log back in. But again, this is very minor. Review Source Response from Buddy Punch February 15, 2023 Thank you Megan for the review. It is great to hear that you're finding us easy to use and that we've replaced your paper clock-in sheets! Thanks again. CM CONNIE M. Co Administrator Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Buddy Punch Review" December 22, 2020 5.0 I had used other more expensive systems at previous employers and has be more than sufficient for our size of business. It is easy to run the reports- PTO, location of services, and the geofence. My favorite time in option was the facial recognition- the main problem with it was if someone had a beard and then shaved it or got a major change in hair styles we had to take their picture again. Pros is easy to set up and use. Once staff is set up in Buddy Punch they are able to manage their time cards with min assistance. We have used the facial recognition and the scan code- The facial recognition works the most consistently. It is pretty self explanatory for staff to be able to put in PTO for approval and add notes if they need a time adjustment because they forgot to time in or out. There are several reports we use including the location worked, pto, and the location of timing in or out. We had staff that would time in or out from their car on their phone when they were to time in and out on the computer. We were able to monitor that and reinstruct the staff. Cons When an employee needs to be removed from the active payroll it takes a few weeks for the persons name to be moved to the inactive list. We tried using the QR codes for timing in and out but the staff would forget their card, the computer would not recognize the card or if their was a poor light, it would be difficult to get it read. Reason for choosing Buddy Punch We have not considered other products because has met our needs and they are frequently sending out emails with improvements to the program. Review Source Response from Buddy Punch December 23, 2020 Thank you Connie for the review! It is great to hear that you're utilizing many of our features including Facial Recognition and that you're finding us easy to use! Also in regards to the inactive employees, you are not charged for inactive users but you'll still see a time card for them in case they had any time worked for the pay period or if you wanted to add any manually. Them having a time card doesn't affect their inactive status. Thanks again for the review and your business, we appreciate it! ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
