Kevin J
General Manager
5.0

Kevin J.: Hi, my name's Kevin, and I'm the general manager at a paper crafting company. We have about 40 employees here and we use the app Buddy Punch for time-card keeping, and I would rate it five stars. Before Buddy Punch, we were using a program called Homebase. And Homebase really wasn't working well for us because all of the settings were global settings, so we couldn't do an individual setting for a user. So whatever setting we applied had to be applied to our whole group. So that really wasn't working well for us. We decided to go with Buddy Punch for a couple of reasons. One was it was customizable on the user level. So we have different parts of our organization that require different modes and methods of timekeeping. Some of our folks are hourly, some are salary. So it allows us to change the settings on the individual user level, which is really great for us. The other reason that we went with it, we felt like it was affordable. It's a flexible solution. We pay by the user, so we felt like it could grow with us as a company. And overall it's just easy to use and pretty simple for my managers to use, and that's why we like it. Getting started with Buddy Punch was super easy. I really didn't even need to use any of the help that they provided for us. It was pretty straightforward to walk through. You can either upload things as a batch or you can do it individually. So we found it super easy to get on board with Buddy Punch. I would say if you're looking for a really flexible timekeeping solution to track your hours, your PTO, company calendars, block out dates, things like that, Buddy Punch is a great solution. We're a growing company and we needed something that could grow with us and that was flexible, so I would recommend it if you have any of those needs.
