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.

Switched From

Procare Solutions

Reasons for Switching to Buddy Punch

PTO features, ease of use for employees, and supervisor view/access.

Response from Buddy Punch

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!

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.

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.

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!

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 standout features of Buddy Punch is its time cards and editable punch times. This functionality allows users to easily track and manage work hours, make necessary adjustments, and ensure accurate payroll processing. The flexibility to edit punch times helps in correcting any errors and maintaining precise records.

Cons

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. :)
