General Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good value for high volume independent contractor payrolls, but missing some features" May 28, 2019 3.0 Homebase has saved us a lot of time and heartache with scheduling part time seasonal staff. I haven't found a better solution for my business yet that is even in the same ballpark for price. Pros Homebase has a good timeclock function, and it allows for nice, intuitive departmental divisions that allow multiple managers to schedule and process timesheets independently. It's very affordable for managing teams of hundreds of part-time, casual, seasonal contract employees. Staff seem to be able to navigate the mobile app and shift-claiming process with relative ease. Cons Because I'm scheduling for an event-based business, I wish I could assign a Customer/Job to a shift and export the data accordingly. This would make my cost allocations easier for accounting purposes. I don't think there's a way for my team to see the breakdown of their tips and wages from the app, so I get alot of questions about that breakdown. Review Source HD Hunter D. Manager Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Reviewers " April 7, 2023 4.0 Pretty good not a lot of complaints overall solid value Pros It’s very user friendly and easy to use Cons The customers service could be a lot better Reason for choosing Homebase Only one I knew Review Source AR Alec R. Assistant Manager Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Homebase Review" September 11, 2019 2.0 Extremely poor due to the fact that it doesn't do even the bare minimum, we wanted a scheduling app that has all our employees and lets us talk to them. It lets us talk to them just fine but its always about how they were scheduled wrong and have to constantly fix problems. Pros Allows employees switch shifts with ease and keep in pretty constant communications with them as well. Keeps all employee info in on place for ease of access. Cons The whole point of this software is scheduling and it is absolutely terrible at it! It puts employees who aren't trained for the positions into those spots constantly. Every time we go to change what each person can work the system randomly changes people around making it a constant job to make sure people aren't put into the wrong spot. Also it puts people who are unavailable into shifts they can't work or it wont schedule people who can work. This problem has persisted since we started using it and tech support keeps pushing us to the next person and giving us the most ridiculous reason as to why they won't just help us while saying they are trying to help us by saying they are looking into it. Mind you we have called multiple times over many months and nothing has been solved, not one thing! Review Source BK Bryce K. Recreation Director Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Overall great team communication software" January 14, 2021 5.0 We have been using it for over 2 years and we have explored other options but always come back to basecamp because it is easy to use, cost-effective, and reliable. Pros keyword search options, project creation for teams, to-do lists, individual communications with team members, the fee includes unlimited team members (a big selling point for an agency on a budget), Cons The only flaw I can think of is I wish that customer service had live chat. Switched from [Slack](https://www.capterra.com/p/135003/Slack/) Cost. In basecamp, you pay a flat fee for unlimited users and groups. Review Source SV Sheeba V. Owner Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Amazing Ease of Use, Great Value & Feature Rich for Small Businesses" January 19, 2021 5.0 The overall experience has been extremely positive and we have dramatically reduced entering time, processing payroll effort & errors in processing timesheets / payroll for all our employees. Pros Home has extremely no fuss Time Tracking software that can be deployed on phones, tablets etc. The overall interface is very modern and provides seamless HR workflow from posting hiring advertisements, hiring employees, time tracking and payroll. There's great integration across all their HR functions and lots of pre-built integrations with other payroll services to seamlessly transfer timesheet data across vendors. In addition to ease of use, their support is phenomenal and they respond quick and to the point. Cons No real issues, but they recently launched their Payroll service and as expected for a new service, they are still building out workers compensation integration. Review Source SH Susan H. Owner Performing Arts Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Homebase is great for self employed business owners." August 7, 2023 5.0 I like that there is a free option for those of use who need a professional way to track hours for independent hour tracking. Pros Easy to use, easy to edit and helpful for payroll. Cons Sometimes it is hard for me to remember how to publish schedules. But that is a user error. Review Source ZB Zahraa B. Admin Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I lover using homebase app for simplicity and functionality of the app" April 3, 2024 5.0 Pros Easy to use Easy to track employee hours Perfect for payroll Cons None available at this time accordingto the features that I am using the app for Review Source JA JEROME A. MANAGER Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WE USE HOMEBASE FOR OUR COMPANY NEEDS, WHY NOT YOU!" March 15, 2021 5.0 Pros ITS GREATEST APPLICATION FOR BUSINESS SINCE FACEBOOK, TWITTER, INSTAGRAM Cons NOTHING AT ALL, IT MEETS ALL OF OUR NEEDS Review Source CO Christy O. President Restaurants Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Definitely worth it" October 22, 2020 5.0 Overall this product and customer support have been great! Pros The reason that I started using g homebase was because it is linked to Square. However, even if I stopped using square I would still use homebase! Cons Some of the reports are difficult to configure and very time consuming to drill down to the data we need Alternatives considered [When I Work](https://www.capterra.com/p/121248/When-I-Work/) Reason for choosing Homebase Again because HomeBase was linked to square Switched from [Justworks](https://www.capterra.com/p/223913/Justworks/) Home base was linked to square Review Source DH Dennis H. Director Operations Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for the service industry, not for manufacturing" July 28, 2020 3.0 I enjoy using homebase for the ease of use of my employees and the app, but as amanger it is quite a cumbersome process to fix issues and a time waste of my day almost everyday. I can see the benefit and the future capabilities of this paltform and am sticking with it because i beleive this product will advance and become much better over time. Pros The ease of use for my employees to clock in and out. Geofencing Cons Three are arbitrary rules in place such as: 1)I cannot select a timeframe longer than 30 days to run payroll for a 31 day month. 2)I cannot clock an employee in earlier than 8 hours a scheduled shift. I have to alter their initial shift to allow for the time slack 3)I cannot have a salaried employee on the schedule without dealing with many issues about them missing their shifts or the annoying other messages after I resolved that issue (I keep them on the schedule so I know when they are supposed to be in as well as an accurate accounting of cash burn) 4)The programming on the front-end seems to be hastily made with many lags and timeouts when updating time cards or trying to perform functions that require the javascript (i think, I haven't opened the developer console on it yet) to perform quickly. basically the server or some other reason keeps it running slow and my function is logged but times out quickly.

Manager Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great employee management tool for small business" January 5, 2021 4.0 We like Homebase because it's a good value and lets us keep track of our employees better than having written time cards, which can be a liability. The features in Homebase allow management to set geofencing and times to avoid mis-reported hours and overtime. Our team also likes that Homebase offers a free recruiting too, which is an excellent bonus. We've used it several times and it's great not having to pay a lot for Zip Recruiter or Indeed. Pros Homebase is easy to use as a "clock-in, clock-out" option for employees with non traditional hours and who work remotely. I personally like the geo-fencing options as well as the option that doesn't let employees clock-in early. Cons Sometimes it's confusing setting up schedules. We have regular employees who are in the office as well as non-traditional employees, so a system that is easy to use is important. I think it just takes more getting used to. Review Source AJ Ariana J. Student E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We use homebase at work daily!" July 19, 2022 5.0 I have has a very good experience so far. Pros I love Homebase because it shows my shifts very clearly and makes it easy to check who is working with me. I also love how I can see who gave up their shifts in case I am looking for more hours. There is a chat function where you can set up group chats with coworkers which makes it easier than messages. I also love the time clock function. There is a wide variety of ways to use Homebase. Cons Sometimes the app will glitch and log me out but it does not last long. Review Source MK Mike K. Facilities Manager Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Small business Gem" January 8, 2024 4.0 Pros Easy of use . Homebase makes my day easier instead of harder! Cons I wish the reports were more helpful. They do know help me much. Review Source MR Mariel R. Planner Engineer Renewables & Environment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Solución de ahorro de tiempo para la gestión de la fuerza laboral por hora" April 17, 2023 5.0 Después de haber probado otras alternativas, encontré que Homebase se destaca en términos de facilidad de uso y conjunto de funciones. Pros Homebase ha cambiado las reglas del juego para mi pequeña empresa. La función de programación de empleados es intuitiva y fácil de usar, lo que me ahorra incontables horas cada mes. Cons El precio podría ser más flexible, ya que las empresas más pequeñas pueden encontrarlo un poco costoso. Review Source KZ Kate Z. Farmer of Fun Farming Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Live Changing!" July 3, 2021 5.0 Using Homebase has been Life Changing for our company. We are able to communicate with our young work force in a way that is simple and easy for them to use. We keep our employee records synced and love the safety questions and department features. Pros Homebase helps us get organized, communicate with our team and simply and easily manage schedules. Love that the pricing is flat rated per service rather than per employee--- so much more economical than other options. Cons the notifications can be a bit overwhelming sometimes. Review Source Anna S. General manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good stuff " July 29, 2020 4.0 Pros I really like the geo clock and functioning with employees using their mobile phones instead of store equipment Cons Cost and reporting could be more detailed to be more HR equipped Alternatives considered [Square Point of Sale](https://www.capterra.com/p/275802/Square-Point-of-Sale/) Reason for choosing Homebase Easier to use Review Source MR Michi R. Consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Geofenced Mobile Timeclock" May 11, 2022 4.0 Overall I can say that the customer service has been great and they have worked to get us through all the bugs and issues and onboarding. Pros We needed a way to allow staff to clock in for shifts without having to have separate equipment or even a computer. The fact that you can set up a geofence to ensure employees can only clock in while at the location was why we selected this software. Employees being able to clock in and out of shifts via their cell phones has been a game-changer for accuracy in actual time worked and holding them accountable for their time instead of logging it on a piece of paper. Cons It's not the most intuitive. There is an app, but we ran into some issue with bugs on the app that made scheduling a bit difficult. I definitely prefer using it online over scheduling in the app. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer owner Restaurants Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent product, highly reccommend" December 7, 2023 5.0 Excellent, easy to use, saves time, energy, thinking, LOVE IT! Pros Convenience, easy to use, user friendly, cost effective, saves time Cons I cannot think of anything that I am not satisfied with, while using Homebase? Review Source MB Melissa B. People and Culture Generalist Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for Shift Work Employees" February 16, 2024 5.0 Pros We use Homebase specifically for our shift work employees who don't work the same hours all the time. Having the calendar open is great for allowing our shift work employees to swap shifts amongst themselves or take additional shifts that become available. The clock-in/clock-out feature is also great for time and attendance tracking. Cons Nothing at the moment. It's been a great tool that we've been using for a few years. Review Source MV Melissa V. Owner Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use, affordable and convinient" December 10, 2020 5.0 Pros I love how Home base is very easy to navigate. There are lots of features that help manage employees and keep up with reports. For house keeping industry I find it makes my life a lot easier. Cons No cons about Home base but if they would allow for more employee details in Team set up that would be awesome and beneficial.

Helps me with payroll budgeting and keeping costs in line. Pros Cost is great! All my employees can use it and I can have real time looks at the days costs. I enjoy the reports available. Cons I almost feel like there are too many features. I don’t feel like I have time to learn it all and think maybe a streamlined product would be better. Review Source AN Aloysius N. Director Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Homebase scheduling" July 27, 2020 5.0 My overall experience has been great, the system is effective and efficient and I save time and money by utilizing Homebase. Pros I have been using Homebase Scheduling for over two years and I will not use anything else, this system makes my life so easy with putting together my weekly schedule - the most important part of the process, I don't have to be in the office to do my work - I can access the system anytime and anywhere, all I need is internet access. I will not use any other system, even if it was free. Cons Cons; I hope that more training would be offer when it comes to operating and finding out some of the functionality of the system. Reason for choosing Homebase I heard many success stories about Homebase, so I took a chance on purchasing the system, it has been one of the best decision I made for the operation of my business.
