Easy to use for staff!

We needed a new solution for timekeeping and Buddy Punch 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

Reasons for Choosing Buddy Punch

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.

Good app. More user friendly

It was a good experience, it does what it should, but comparing it to other systems I’ve used before it’s lacking some features.

Pros

I really liked that the app was very to the point, meaning you didn’t have to make many clicks to understand its features.

Cons

I believe it does need a tad bit more personalization items, making the app a tad bit more pleasant to the eye would be a plus.

Response from Buddy Punch

Glad you've had a good experience and the app has been understandable.

Please live chat in or email [email protected] with any feedback or suggestions you have on features or UI you'd like to see! We're always looking to improve.

Buddy Punch, my buddy

I’ve used Buddy Punch for over 4 years at my job, so I’ve grown fond of it. It’s easy, straightforward, and quick. It has a simple, pleasing layout.

Pros

What I like the most about buddy punch is how easy it is to access. You can save your login and password and punch in and out in seconds.

Cons

I don’t like that it is not possible to delete punches. If I mistakenly mess up my punches to the point where the only way to fix it is to erase and restart, I can’t do that by myself.

Response from Buddy Punch

Love that you're enjoying our simple, easy-to-access layout and quick punching!

The ability to delete punches is controlled by your account administrators. If you have concerns, we recommend reaching out to them for more information.

You can also always reach out to us via live chat or email [email protected] and we'd be happy to assist in any way we can!

I like using Buddy Punch

This is the first time I have used this type of recording of our hours worked. I like that you can see everything. I also like I have the app and can look at it any time.

Pros

I can see my time card and I can see the schedule for the week.

Cons

I don't like the way they record the minutes. I would prefer that it just show minutes as opposed to partial hours.

Response from Buddy Punch

So glad you're liking Buddy Punch to check your time card and schedule for the week!

Thank you for the feedback on how we display time. The decimal format is used throughout our system. The number before the decimal represents hours worked; the number after the decimal is minutes. To get the minutes in actual minutes as opposed to decimals, you can take that number after the decimal and multiply it by 60.

That being said, I've recorded your feedback on our Feature Request List for the review of our Development Team. Thanks again for the great feedback!

it is good, could be better

it is fine, just a click and works fine, normally it works, just once in a while I get an error with the location so it doesn't let me do the punch in or out with this mistake but after a few reboots it works just fine.

Pros

it is easy to use, just a click and that is it

BuddyPunch: Time Tracking made easy

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.

Buddy Punch - a value added tool for our small business

Delighted! As a trucking company and having resources starting their shifts at different times and in different locations it was "effort" in tying this all together to ensure everyone was being paid for correct times - doing payroll was a chore in calling and requesting and then finally imposing deadlines or you don't get paid which pushes other things back in processing payroll... Week one of deployment -> all those issues disappeared!!! Well done Buddy Punch!!!!

Pros

Simplicity of use which made adoption within our organization easier

Cons

Because of it's simplicity, I overcomplicated it for our trial period and had everyone in the organization trying it. To launch, we decided to recreate our site and started running with only the team members that are required to punch in and out

Alternatives Considered

ADP Workforce Now and Paychex Flex

Reasons for Switching to Buddy Punch

The cost for our initial deployment and the relative ease in scaling as we grow our business

Response from Buddy Punch

Michael, it's fantastic to hear how Buddy Punch has streamlined payroll and time tracking for your trucking company. We're thrilled that the simplicity of our tool made adoption easy and resolved the challenges of managing diverse shift times and locations. Your experience of seeing immediate improvements in the first week of deployment is exactly what we strive for. Thank you for your enthusiastic feedback and for choosing Buddy Punch!

My Buddy Punch

I can say that except for that aspect previously described, my overall experience with Buddy Punch has been pretty good, it's a practical and a great office tool, I'm a remote worker for my company so it really helps keep track of my working time. And I like its name, too, by the way! It really sounds cool!

Pros

It's practical and friendly to use. It's also accurate and you can see your present week's hours in an easy way.

Cons

Something that needs to be improved , at least in my personal experience, it's that it frequently throws an error message and does not allow to punch in or do anything (just logging in and out) until an administrator fixes it. That has happened to me several times in 3 months that I have been using it, without changing PC nor moving to a different work space which is why it might happen sometimes, but it was not my case.

Pros

Easy to have on my phone but not disrupt my work - and easy to make adjustments and add comments from my computer.

It auto-punches a 30-minute unpaid break. With my job, I work hours where I get longer stretches without breaks and the auto setting is frustrating.

Know your hours

My overall experience with Buddy Punch has been positive, especially in terms of tracking hours worked. The platform is user-friendly and offers a reliable way to monitor and manage employee time. The time cards and editable punch times feature is particularly useful for ensuring accuracy and flexibility in recording work hours.

Pros

One of the downsides of Buddy Punch is the excessive email notifications. Users often find the constant stream of emails overwhelming, especially when it comes to notifications for every punch in and out, shift changes, and other updates.

Response from Buddy Punch

Thanks for the feedback, Andrea! It's great to know that you find Buddy Punch user-friendly and that the flexibility with time cards helps keep things accurate. If the email notifications become too much, users can always disable these from within their profiles. :)

ACTING PROGRAM Manager

10 being excellent and 1 being poor. I would give a 9.0. Almost there on a scale of 1 to 10.

Pros

Easy to access on my mobile, laptop and PC. HIGHLY convenient and effective.

Cons

When it is time to print out my staff time sheets is a minute problem and ineffective. I like to save paper and time. One staff may have one side of the time sheet because of less punches than another staff has two pages. I have more than 21 staff. Literally, i have to pause and customized my printing pages 5 to 6 times, so I don't print a staff time sheets on a back of another staff's one page timesheet.

Response from Buddy Punch

Yes, here at Buddy Punch we strive to be as accessible, convenient, and effective as possible across all types of devices!

We offer a large range of reporting options and aim to meet your needs. Please reach out to our award-winning Support Team over live chat or email [email protected] so we can brainstorm on how to best achieve saving paper and time together through perhaps a different reporting option available!

Great System for Employee Time Tracking and More

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 and QuickBooks Time

Reasons for Switching to Buddy Punch

The design of the application and desktop version were preferable to the counterparts. I tried Buddy Punch for a few weeks before deciding for our company and it was mainly for ease of use and convenience.

Response from Buddy Punch

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!

My Best Buddy

Overall experience is great. A few improvement will make it near perfect but other than that its a very great tool especially for us working from home. Thanks Buddy Punch.

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.

Buddy Punch Review

Started using Buddy Punch in November of 2022 when I was Hired at Swift. I honestly like being able to login this way, see my entire week laid out in front of me- I just really like the ease of tracking my hours on Buddy Punch.

Pros

I enjoy being able to clock in & out of my account with ease, easily fix any mistakes if I forget to clock out & make a note of it, etc.

Cons

Everytime I login it always asks me for permission to use my camera. I do NOT like this & don't understand why it asks me this every. single. time I login. Very annoying.

Pros

Easy to clock in from anywhere and still manage how much time you've worked in a day. Easily tells you when you've gone past 8hrs, and also great for seeing when your team members are clocked in or out.

Cons

Wish the time wasn't in decimal form so that it's easier to tell how much time you should work without going into overtime.

Buddy Punch can be your watchdog buddy.

In general it is a reliable tracking system. We have had no real major issues with it.

Pros

We like the tracking of the mobile punches. Most of our crew is remote. Gives us that security and control aspect to see where their in and out punches are taking place.

Cons

It may have it but I wish it automatically adjusted their start time to 5:30 am even if they punch in at 5:14 am. Would save adjustments.

Response from Buddy Punch

Love that you're benefitting from the reliability and security of tracking your remote, mobile crew!

It sounds like you'd be interested in Punch Rounding. You can set up Punch Rounding so employee's punches are rounded down, up, or to the nearest based on a specified increment. When rounding is enabled, real-time punches will be rounded either based on time or by an employee's schedule. More information here: https://docs.buddypunch.com/en/articles/3658460-punch-rounding-setup

We'd love to help you get Punch Rounding set up for your unique case if needed. Please reach out via live chat or email [email protected] any time and we'll be happy to assist!
