### "Buddy Punch is my Payroll Buddy "

November 21, 2022

5.0

My overall experiences with Buddy Punch and its representatives have panned out to be more positive than not. After a few attempts to clearly explain my concerns in the past, communicated needs were met without disappointment.

Pros

Whether we have two or ten employees, Buddy Bunch's Time Tracking, Vacation/ Leave Tracking, and Analytics features are most helpful with bi-weekly payroll. Buddy Punch has never failed to assist me with those annoying payroll problems that interrupt workflow.

Cons

There are no features that are missing to date. I feel that Buddy Punch integrated well with our current payroll processes; therefore, I would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

### "Great time keeping app"

January 23, 2019

5.0

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.

In my personal opinion Buddy Punch help me to control my work time and break time to be more productive with my daily work.

Pros

Friendly interface. Easy to use. Allows you to add break time. Send efficient reports to administrators.

Cons

I would like it to have a more dynamic interface

### "Buddy Punch - a value added tool for our small business"

December 16, 2023

5.0

Delighted! As a trucking company and having resources starting their shifts at different times and in different locations it was "effort" in tying this all together to ensure everyone was being paid for correct times - doing payroll was a chore in calling and requesting and then finally imposing deadlines or you don't get paid which pushes other things back in processing payroll... Week one of deployment -> all those issues disappeared!!! Well done Buddy Punch!!!!

Pros

Simplicity of use which made adoption within our organization easier

Cons

Because of it's simplicity, I overcomplicated it for our trial period and had everyone in the organization trying it. To launch, we decided to recreate our site and started running with only the team members that are required to punch in and out

The cost for our initial deployment and the relative ease in scaling as we grow our business

### "Buddy Punch"

September 3, 2020

5.0

I have loved my overall experience with Buddy Punch. As I mentioned before their help is invaluable. Some companies have no chat, or phone number and you wait days to hear back from an email. Their immediate response is something they should never get rid of, no matter how big they become.

Pros

I love how easy it is to access help on any aspect of using the software. You can do their chat and they respond almost immediately. They will even help fix anything from their end if you need the help. I love the facial recognition feature and other features that are offered to ensure that your staff is on the job site in order to sign in. I like how easy the PTO requesting is for the staff and for admin to approve. It's a little bit of work trying to get all of the PTO hours in for all employees, especially if they work different hours and have different PTO hours, but the team at Buddy Punch are always available to help with questions. That is one of the things I think are most important- the great customer serivce. The accessibility to actual people can help is valuable.

Cons

I would like to see more options for PTO reporting. I feel that the report for overall PTO has too much info. I would like to see it have an option where you can check off which items you need in the report and then produce the report from what you actually need. It is hard to manage what they offer. This causes me to need to go into each staff account separately to report one by one.

Reason for choosing Buddy Punch

I don't remember names of others I looked at, but overall Buddy Punch offered something that seemed more simple to use and had the features we needed. The cost was manageable for our company, which is not very big and is a non profit.

### "Helpful and Useful"

September 27, 2022

5.0

We have only been using this software since 1-1-2022 and for the most part it have been very useful for everything that I have need it to do for me. If we need help or have a question \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] has been able to reach out to our contact person and they have been very helpful.

Pros

I can see at any point and time when an employee punchedin or out daily, payroll period, monthly total hours etc.

Cons

I really wish under reports that I can pull a report such as when did each employee start working for the company. To be able to pull a report showing each employee with other HIS reporting information that is used for various information

Reason for choosing Buddy Punch

we looked at 4 other systems as well. I have personally worked with ADP Workforce(would not work for our needs), WorkDay (not user friendly), ADP could not track driver and other projects that we were looking for. You gave the option of several ways of tracking our field employees if need be such and satellite per stop, per driver etc.

### "Buddy Punch Review"

October 24, 2022

5.0

I really enjoy using Buddy Punch! It's really accessible and it provides helpful information with no stress or strife.

Pros

I enjoy using Buddy Punch; it's accessible to me as a student and gives me all of my information right up front. I work at the IT Department for my university, and it is only my second or third time filling out a timesheet, and Buddy Punch has all of that information right up front, which is super friendly and helpful. Additionally, they have a very easily accessible BuddyPunch app, which has made it so much easier for me to clock in and clock out, especially when I'm running late to my shift, or I have to leave and run off to a class or another activity right after I clock out. I would highly recommend it!!

Cons

No cons! I really like Buddy Punch, and would definitely recommend it.

### "Buddy Punch Review"

June 4, 2021

5.0

Employees can punch in where ever they are assigned. We can use a geofence if employee not punching in at the yard. Can see where they are when they punch in. Has prevented "stealing time". Perfect for our weekly payroll information. Employees clock in early am and late pm and can leave notes when no one in the office.

Pros

So easy to use. Easy for me as Administrator and employees have no problems, can leave notes and check their own time each week.

Cons

MINOR - as more information was added to Employee Detail report, sometimes a second sheet prints with a few words. The second sheet is wasted.

Reason for choosing Buddy Punch

Pricing, no contract.

### "Buddy Punch is the best time keeping system I have used."

April 14, 2023

5.0

I use Buddy Punch daily for myself and the 3 other employees in my department. We work in public school where some other employees use Buddy Punch as well. I was able to learn this system by myself with no training because the system is easy to use and explains itself perfectly. Our district will continue to use this system next year.

Pros

I love using Buddy Punch because of how simple the system works. You can choose between a quick log on screen or a quick pin code screen. So, I don't have to jump through a lot of screens just to clock in or out.

Cons

I have honestly not experienced any cons about Buddy Punch yet in my 6 months of using the sytem.

April 11, 2024

5.0

10/10 easy to use. I like that you can add notes to when you clock in. This is useful because we do not always clock in in the office.

Pros

I like how easy it is to use. I think it is nice that you can customize where you’re clocking in from with notes.

Cons

Sometimes buddy punch will say I need to enable gps and not let me clock in even though gps is enabled. My coworkers have the same issue.

### "User Friendly"

October 24, 2023

5.0

It easy and for a company with different divisions and multiple buildings it solves the issue of having an actual punch clock in one area. everyone can clock in from their work station.

Pros

I like how easy it is to use and i can memo when i clock in and out. this allows me to let management know why i am clocking in or out outside of office hours.

Cons

When you missed clocking in and have to edit your time it does not calculate that adjusted time. it sends a submittal for approval and you have to manually calculate the hours worked until its approved.

April 24, 2023

Very pleased with Buddy Punch and am happy that we made the switch!

Pros

Buddy Punch has made it easy for our practice since we expanded and now have staff in remote locations including staff that work from home. It's user-friendly and makes the supervisors'/managers' jobs easy when it comes to approving timecards! Payroll report is easy and it works with SurePayroll which is out payroll company.

Cons

I wish the phone app can delete auto punchouts. Currently, we have to log in to the online platform in order to do so.

February 22, 2024

Using buddy punch has been very easy to use and does 90% of what we were looking for.

Pros

Ease of use and user friendly for everyone.

Cons

Would be nice to have a feature that can email you the timesheets weekly one a certain day in nice format like on buddy punch not in excel spread sheet where you have to make sure to autofit the columns to see all the info.

Reason for choosing Buddy Punch

Easier to use and cheaper, also has the feature to show where you are clocking in.

January 26, 2024

Started using Buddy Punch in November of 2022 when I was Hired at Swift. I honestly like being able to login this way, see my entire week laid out in front of me- I just really like the ease of tracking my hours on Buddy Punch.

Pros

I enjoy being able to clock in & out of my account with ease, easily fix any mistakes if I forget to clock out & make a note of it, etc.

Cons

Everytime I login it always asks me for permission to use my camera. I do NOT like this & don't understand why it asks me this every. single. time I login. Very annoying.

### "Great from timecard management and days off tracking! "

February 24, 2023

5.0

Overall, I would give Buddy Punch a 4.5/5! It has been an easy way for our drivers to request time off and the one-click punch in and out feature leaves no time wasted! I would recommend there be a biometric option for mobile users to eliminate having to sign in with a password.

Pros

The best thing about Buddy Punch is the ease of the punch card! Sign in and click - you're done! Ready to clock out, sign in and click - you're done! You can easily see a running total of hours for the week and your daily totals right there from the clock in/out screen!

Cons

Occasionally some users will not show up on the time off calendar for all users who need access to the calendar. We have not been able to find the setting to change this.

### "HR Management Software Business should implement"

November 24, 2022

5.0

The overall experience using Buddy Punch within our business has been positive and we are glad that we chose it as a software. We would recommend business to try it as it is also reasonable to any business in terms of its cost.

Pros

This software has led our business to reduce a lot of costs when it comes to human resources management, payroll and time tracking. We implemented this software into our business as our employees exceeded 8 as we were finding it difficult to keep track of time, work, payroll, etc. This software has really helped us in this regard and we also saved a lot of time.

Cons

The only small issues faced were that sometimes the software was a bit slow and the screen gets stuck but otherwise we are quite pleased.

### "Handling Complexity with Ease"

May 4, 2023

5.0

Overall, great! When I've encountered any issues or corrections to be made, it is usually handled in a few minutes not days or weeks, and the help features are detailed yet easy to follow,

Pros

We spent three months trying to get a time clock system launched with a system from a really big company. The customer service was terrible, responses took days, and in the end they could not handle our somewhat complex PTO requirements. We switched to Buddy Punch and were up and running almost immediately. Buddy Punch gives you all the control and flexibility you could ever want.

Cons

I would still like a phone number to call in a pinch.

Reason for choosing Buddy Punch

Flexibility, Admin control, and price were the biggest factors. Many products are either tailored to specific market needs like food service or construction, or they are from big companies for which time clocks/time management are a sideshow. Buddy Punch is flexible enough to satisfy any company's needs.

### "Great Time Management"

January 30, 2024

5.0

Pros

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.

Switched from

[Microsoft Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/168668/Microsoft-Teams/)

Instead of sending messages through Skype when we clocked in or out with potential of forgetting to do so and then payroll has to record all those messages, our times are easily exported for accounting to put our time in without much hassle.
