Estimator & PM
5.0

Aaron H.: Hey. My name's Aaron. I'm a project manager and I give busybusy a five star review. For more videos like this, click the link below. 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.

Dir. of Admin and Finance

Maria H.: Hi, I'm Maria. I'm the Director of Administration and Finance at First Presbyterian Church in Lake Wales, and I give Connecteam five stars. We used to be using a different online time clock program, but I was notified that the price was going up by 50% about a week before that date. I started looking around because we're a non-profit, and I saw that Connecteam had extremely high ratings. And so that's why we tried it. I really liked the idea of the idea of the geofencing because our church is kind of spread out in a couple different buildings. And the nursery workers were able to go right to work, and they didn't have to come by the office all the time to clock in and out. Same thing for the custodians, if they were ready to take their lunchtime, they could just clock out or clock back in. The geofencing was amazing. It also worked for our secretary, who would take deposits to the bank, and she could clock out there on her way home. And then, as an administrator, I could approve it, and she did not have to come back to the office to clock out or anything. It's very easy. Even our custodian, that's a little challenged when it comes to using electronic devices, after the first day, she just loves it. It's very easy. I like the reports. And the tech support person that did help me finalize a couple things on setup was just amazing. And the best part of it all is, since we have less than 10 people on the program, it's free for us, which is a help for a charity. And we all love it. I did have a little glitch on startup. There were a couple things I had questions on. We are a small company, and I wanted to make sure that I got it set up just right. And I was able to sign up for 15 minutes or so with one of their tech support people, who was just amazing. So setup went very seamlessly after that. It's just a great program and very easy to use. It gives us all the information that we need. So Connecteam is perfect, I think, for either small companies or large companies. It is so filled with just different things you can do with it that it would handle multiple locations or just a single location with just a handful of people. So I would say, definitely give it a look, give it a try. It's an amazing program, and I think you'll be very happy with it.
