Timesheets.com vs busybusy: Which is a better fit?

Andrew B.: Hi, I'm Andrew. I'm a director of sales and I would give Timesheets.com a three out of five stars. For more reviews like this, click below. Prior to using Timesheets.com, we were using sort of a mixture between paychecks and then also sort of an internal Google Calendar type way of tracking who would be in the office at certain times and when people were coming and leaving. So Timesheets.com has made things a lot easier for us and definitely saved a lot of admin time, instead of having to look in multiple places and rely on our employees for logging everything correctly. We ended up choosing Timesheets.com just for the ease of use, the price and the simple onboarding process. Basically, it was very easy to get all of our employees logged into the system, show them how to use it, and we really haven't had to retrain anybody or had any major issues with it. The cost for the amount of employees we had we thought was a fair price there. Really, just getting it up and running was a very simple task. So we've been thrilled with the product so far and are glad that we chose it. In terms of onboarding and integration, Timesheets.com was extremely easy to use. I mean, really the only cumbersome part was getting all the employees access upfront and getting them sort of loaded into the system. But Timesheets.com assisted us with that and allowed us to save a little bit of time getting them all in there, as well as some useful resources to sort of explain to the employees exactly how to use it and use it the way that we're hoping to get the information out of them. So overall, it was a very easy onboarding process and we were pleasantly surprised with how easy it was for everybody to get up and running. When it came to Timesheets, it was a very good product and sort of opened the door for us in terms of ways to consolidate different resources and ways to track maybe when employees are coming and leaving and different things like that. We actually switched off the Timesheets a few months back, I think it was at the start of 2021. We just got offered a better price for a very similar product and they offered to sort of switch everybody over and onboard everybody. So it sort of came down to the pricing and that's why I gave it a three out of five stars originally.

Before busybusy, we tried other products like Procore and even just writing things out on a normal timecard. When we switched over to busybusy, it did take some time for our team to learn how to use this app, but now that we've got everybody on it, this app has really helped us be able to track our time, manage our time, and keep accountability on each of our individual projects. We chose busybusy for its flexibility with our 80-plus employees that we have. It gives us the ability to have them log into different projects throughout the day as they're working, as they're doing the things that they are supposed to be doing, we can then be accountable to our client and just let them know that, "Hey, this is accurate billing. This is the amount of time, the amount that these projects take to do this, and we can bill for that time." Whereas before, we ever had that ability. When we first got started with busybusy, it was pretty tough. A lot of the older people in the company were afraid to use an app, and they thought that the GPS tracking meant that we were going to be tracking them all the time, but unless somebody has the time to sit down and just watch every little move that they're making, it just wasn't realistic. And so we got them all to buy into it and they have their GPS location on, just so that way, everybody knows that we're clocking in and out of the project, and it gives us just that one more level of checking for accountability. But, after four years of using this app, we've just really grown to love it and really grown to have the expectation that everybody knows how to use it. And any new hire, just it's no question. It's "Hey, get this app. We're going to get you set up with a log-in. You'll get there and be able to log in and out of your projects with ease and be able to tell us what you're doing and what you've been doing all day without having to take the time and write it down with an old-fashioned piece of paper and pencil." If you're looking for an app that will track your employees and give you readable data to be able to help you with your billing, to help you with accountability for your guys, and just be able to put at ease having to go through a timecard that's written down on a piece of paper, or even maybe you've tried some other apps where you still have to go through and add everything up and figure out how many hours people have, this is the solution. This has been such a wonderful thing for us, and we can click on the individual person, or we can look at the company as a whole, and we can see how many hours we worked this week, and we can break it down to how many hours we put in on specific jobs. And just the ability to account for that saves us hours and hours of time. And payroll is no longer an issue and checking in with guys and trying to figure out where they were working and trying to put together this billing, it's just all right there at my fingertips, either on the app or right there on my desktop when I'm sitting in front of my computer.
