Great app, check in and out with accuracy, keep in contact with supervisors and can submit photos for proof of visit if not using GPS.
Pros
I am an Event Specialist with Deluvia Inc, they upgraded from emailing and faxing my time sheets in to this system. They are out of state so this is a great way for them to keep up with my time while doing "Road Shows". I arrive at my location, open the app and sign in, my employers do require me to attach photos so I snap a photo of the store front before entering. While there, I setup my samples and take a few photos of my presentation to attach when I clock out. I like that I can see my schedule, even though I already know my Road Shows are 11 days back to back for each demo. It takes out 39 minutes for my lunch and keeps up with my total hours so I can accurately calculate my check. They can leave messages after each shift end set of photos. I have seen a few where they wanted to see different angles or my face more throughout my presentations. I've also been told my samples looked yummy, I left messages and asked questions that were answered. This is a good app to have when your employer is out of your area.
Cons
The only thing I found odd was I could log in anytime during my employment, but couldn't do so between Road Shows. I wanted to look at my schedules and could gain access to the app. Other than this hiccup, the app works fine. Deluvia gets my time and there are no shortages on my check.
Response from Buddy Punch
Thank you for the review, it is great to hear that you're using our smartphone app as well as our notes and photos on punches feature. We have a few limiting options for employers and that is why you weren't able to login while outside of the show. Thanks again!

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. :)

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.

Great System for Employee Time Tracking and More
Reviewed on 26/3/2024

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.
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!

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.

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.
