BambooHR vs Timeular: Which is a better fit?

Kurt: My name is Kurt. I am the Chief People Officer with Louisville Paving and Construction and we are 554 active team members. I would definitely give BambooHR a number five rating. Prior to implementing BambooHR, less than a year ago, we had a whole hodgepodge of systems and just a myriad of Excel spreadsheets. We are obviously very pleased to be a company that has grown very quickly. Just less than three years ago, we had less than 300 people. Right now, we're hoping to top 600 people. So we grew very quickly and really found ourselves in a position of really struggling with how to organize our information in one location. So we obviously chose BambooHR. It was clearly the right decision for us as it was easy to implement and so we're quite pleased with that. We chose BambooHR, one is because obviously it's an industry recognized brand, it's also scalable, so it was the right size for us. It wasn't too big, it wasn't too small. It fit perfectly within our needs. The implementation process was something that was going to be critical to us because we were also in the process of implementing an ERP parallel to this. So while the two systems eventually did integrate through an API, we were looking for ease of implementation. Obviously a good reputation, which BambooHR does have and then also from a cost standpoint, we wanted to make sure that this was something that also fit within our budget. I've been in this industry, it'll be 35 years this month, and this was by far the easiest implementation and hopefully the last implementation I will do from an HRIS perspective. I think from beginning to end, with respect to the implementation and talking to the sales rep who then handed us off to a more than capable project manager, we were about five weeks from very beginning to very end, getting more than 500 people up and running on the BambooHR platform. For anyone that's considering BambooHR, I think it's really a strong recommendation. Again, similar to the process that we went through, make sure that it's the right size for your needs. Obviously, make sure that the cost fits within your budget. I do like the fact that you're not locked into a long-term contract, which gives you flexibility. But above and beyond, I will tell you that not only was the implementation seamless, it's obviously well worth the cost that we spend for it. The support that we get from BambooHR is top-notch. I've never received such a high level of support, responsiveness and creativity from any of their support associates like I have with BambooHR. Highly recommend them.

Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Dionne. I'm the owner, and I would give Timeular a four out of five stars. For more reviews, click below. Before Timeular, I tried to track my time on spreadsheets, but it wasn't working for me because I had to go back in and change what I was doing instead of just flipping the Timeular. I like Timeular because it's visual. Whatever activity is on top reminds me that what I'm supposed to be doing, and if I'm not doing that, I need to change to a different side. Getting Timeular set up was really easy, but I had some trouble with connecting my phone so that whenever I flipped the Timeular device, that it would continue to track. And I did do some troubleshooting with the Timeular people and they gave me some suggestions about how to improve the connectivity of that. And I tried some of those things, and some of the time it worked. But what really helped is when I got an upgraded phone and then it worked really good. I haven't had any trouble since I've upgraded my phone, so I think that might have been part of the problem. If you're considering getting Timeular, I think that you should make a list of the different activities that you do and think about how you could separate those into eight categories so that you can track them most effectively. After you try it out for a week with those categories, you can see how you're actually spending your time and see if that will be beneficial to you.
