W. General Manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The forms have been a huge advantage for our business." November 7, 2017 3.0 Professional, legible results. Pros I like the flexibility of the forms creation process and workflow. Forms give us a competitive advantage over our customers by delivering professional results at the end of a job. Cons I don't like how the performance is hindered by adding multiple table rows when working from the app. I'm not satisfied with the text in the completed / printable copy. I don't like not having a cloud sync option to verify that all of the form data stays secure. If the app freezes or the form doesn't completely sync, then the data is lost. We have had several instances of lost forms or form data due to sync issues. Review Source CH Cyndi H. Asst Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WorkMax works for us" January 9, 2026 4.0 They respond quickly when there is an issue, plue they keep you informed when there is an update or an outage. Pros It is easy to use for all our shop employees. It offers the option for geofencing for individual employees and it integrates with Foundation software which is key. Cons WorkMax does not offer clock in & out options for PTO, which makes it more time consuming when check employee time. Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) We switched to Foundation & this integrated well Review Source Response from Foundation Software January 12, 2026 Thanks, Cyndi! We’re glad WorkMax is easy for your team to use and that the Foundation integration and responsive support are working well for you. MS Mark S. Human Resourcse Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent option for simple Timecards" January 14, 2026 3.0 Great support team, very helpful and responsive. The integration with Foundation Software wasn't as tight as we originally thought. Didn't quite fit our needs as we track items very detailed at the foreman level associating employee time to cost codes. Pros I liked the mobile app; it was very easy for the field workers to complete their timecards every day. Cons The web interface for foreman/office is not very user friendly and tricky for manipulating time entries to associate to cost codes. Didn't have a good solution for tracking time that was equipment chargeable (service codes), as it was more of a band-aid fix then true solution. Review Source Response from Foundation Software January 20, 2026 Thank you for sharing your experience, Mark. We’re glad to hear the mobile app worked well for your field teams and that our support team was helpful and responsive. We appreciate your feedback around the web interface, cost code management, equipment-related time tracking, and integration expectations. A member of our team will be reaching out to better understand your workflow and feedback as we continue improving WorkMax to support detailed foreman-level tracking and office workflows. DH Dan H. Vice President - Finance Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing Time Software with a few hiccups." April 22, 2025 4.0 Best product we've used for timekeeping. Tech support not great and requires someone on team to have above average tech skills to manage. Pros Geofence accuracy with clock in / clock out automatic verification(with photos) make this product incredibly useful for companies with many remote locations. Cons Bugs sometimes take a while to resolve. Lots of duct-tape needed to keep devices working all the time. Alternatives considered [ComputerEase](https://www.capterra.com/p/8686/ComputerEase/)[TimeClock Plus](https://www.capterra.com/p/21548/TimeClock-Plus/) Reason for choosing WorkMax Clock in with photos required. Most other products don't have this possibility. Review Source Response from Foundation Software April 23, 2025 Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback, Dan! We’re glad to hear that WorkMax’s geofencing and photo verification features have been a game-changer for your team—especially with operations spread across remote job sites. We hear you on the need for quicker resolutions and will continue working to streamline that experience. Your insights are incredibly helpful, and we appreciate having you as part of the WorkMax family! EP Emily P. Assistant Controller Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Time Keeping Software" January 13, 2025 5.0 Very easy to transition from our old timekeeping software to Workmax. Very helpful and responsive staff during and after our transition. Pros Very easy to set up and the end user experience is very simple. Cons Not a lot of options to add custom fields. Alternatives considered [SmartBarrel](https://www.capterra.com/p/240070/SmartBarrel/) Reason for choosing WorkMax We needed a basic time keeping software that allowed us to have employees punching on multiple sites on multiple devices at the same time. Switched from [isolved](https://www.capterra.com/p/164417/iSolved/) We used a legacy isolved system called "Timeforce". It was no longer compatible with our payroll software. Review Source Response from Foundation Software January 14, 2025 Thank you for sharing your experience, Emily! We’re delighted that the transition to WorkMax was smooth and that our team could support you throughout. Your input on custom fields is valuable as we explore future updates. CC Cynthia C. Dir, Communications and Engagement Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Happy WorkMax Customer" January 8, 2025 5.0 Very positive - responsive, empathetic, and the software works with our two key systems. Pros Ease of use with exporting records to our payroll partner (Paychex) and our accounting system (Sage100Contractor). I also appreciate the responsiveness if we have a hiccup and that WorkMax keeps looking for ways to enhance the product. Cons We aren't able copy records. For example, when someone takes more than a day off, we have to enter individual time records. Would also like to be able to export incentive pay and are unable to do that unless we enter a time record. Switched from [RUN Powered by ADP](https://www.capterra.com/p/185859/RUN/) Changed payroll partner and needed software that allowed exporting data vs manual entry. Review Source Response from Foundation Software January 9, 2025 Thank you for your detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear that WorkMax’s integration with Paychex and Sage 100 Contractor has been beneficial for your team. We also appreciate your kind words about our responsiveness and ongoing enhancements to the product. Your suggestions about copying time records and exporting incentive pay are invaluable.

December 20, 2024 5.0 My over all experience is great. I appreciate everyone's patience as I learned a new processes. I really appreciated the follow up call from \[sensitive content hidden\] we could give honest feedback, I can tell she truly cared and listened to any concerns and what we enjoyed. \[sensitive content hidden\] and \[sensitive content hidden\] made a great team and really took a ton of stress off of me as I was learning the process. I look forward to streamlining my payroll as I learn. Pros I really enjoyed the hands-on experience from the team. We were introduced to managers, supporting staff and our trainer from day one. Being able to communicate through Kantata was a blessing. Once I learned to use the @ before a name it worked every time. haha The Geo fence is such a great feature and the photos when clocking in and out help to hold everyone accountable. The ease of working in foundation soft with this product as made payroll errors practically disappear! It is nice to not have to edit so much. Cons The payroll report and in ability to customize or edit the PDF. Switched from [QuickBooks Time](https://www.capterra.com/p/151722/TSheets/) we are switching from QuickBooks to the Foundation soft. The ability to upload the time sheets and not have to do an excel sheet weekly streamlined our process. Connect max does the spreadsheet for me leaving out human error. Review Source Response from Foundation Software January 2, 2025 Thank you for sharing such positive and detailed feedback! We’re thrilled to hear how much of a difference WorkMax has made in streamlining your processes and reducing payroll stress.

IT Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not what they promise BEWARE!!!!" December 17, 2024 1.0 We're 2+ years behind on PROMISED DEVELOPMENT, constant breaks that take MONTHS to get a fix for and you WILL have an inaccurate payroll if you trust this system! Pros I like the concept and what they promised, just not what they deliver. Cons IT will break your payroll. Auto lunch breaks, Time Zones do not work, auto midnight is broken so MOST of the automated calculation functions designed to make payroll easier actually it just hides the issues and doesn't work properly. Expect you will be required to manually verify EVERY payroll aspect. Alternatives considered [hh2 Remote Payroll](https://www.capterra.com/p/168292/Remote-Payroll/)[ExakTime](https://www.capterra.com/p/149379/ExakTime/) Reason for choosing WorkMax Was chosen before me but was promised to be a much more rounded product than the others.

IT Admin Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great experience" January 9, 2025 5.0 Experience has been great. Tech support has been speedy and great! The app works great. i feel like i have the support needed if i have any questions Pros The ease of use! The connectivity and reliability of the sync and that its cloud based. Cons I wish the time sheets were different. Its easy to use, yes, but i feel like engineers could make it easier for end users. To add time on the computer should be setup in a way similar to the app. Not everyone has a company device and doesn't want to use their personal device, so an microsoft store app or a individual app for the pc would be amazing. Switched from [Sage Construction Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/154874/Sage-Construction-Suite/) moved from server based to cloud based and to get into the year 2024/25 technology. We came from AboutTime, there wasn't a choice so i selected something else. Review Source Response from Foundation Software January 13, 2025 Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re delighted that you find WorkMax easy to use, reliable, and well-supported.

Thanks for trusting us! BP Brooke P. CFO Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Workmax is good, but not as good as the salesmen made it out to be" January 9, 2025 4.0 customer service is good, i appreciate that is can be curated to what i need. after almost a year, still having a ton of issues with our guys forgetting to clock in and out, and clocking in and out outside the geofence. i dont think they are to blame for all of the geofence errors, weekly this takes hours of my time to sift through Pros the home screen, it's not too complex for construction Cons how inaccurate the location always is, I set all the guys up for "precise location" during their onboarding and their clock ins are still outside the geofence sometimes. sometimes, it is their fault, and sometimes, maybe even the address. but if google maps can get them to the address, why cant it be correct on workmax? Alternatives considered [FOUNDATION](https://www.capterra.com/p/2032/FOUNDATION/) Reason for choosing WorkMax they were partnered with our accounting system, foundations Review Source Response from Foundation Software January 13, 2025 Thank you for your honest review. We’re glad you find WorkMax user-friendly but understand the frustration with geofence inaccuracies and the time spent addressing clock-in issues.

January 10, 2025 4.0 Not going to lie...it was a learning curve at first. BUT, now that I understand the program and know how to use, I've really started to enjoy it. Pros It has many benefits but the biggest one is the ability and ease for leads/foreman to approve field crew time. As payroll admin, I've cut my approval time in half, and will likely cut down further once everyone is more experience on approving others time. Cons There are still some items that I think could increase in functionality: 1. Exporting batched records. 2. Import click in/out to Foundation, not just total time for the day. 3. Ability to add timecards for multiple days at a time, instead of separate ones. Switched from [FOUNDATION](https://www.capterra.com/p/2032/FOUNDATION/) Switched from Mobile/Field Log which had timecards at end of day to real-time timecards. Review Source Response from Foundation Software January 13, 2025 Thank you for your review and for highlighting how WorkMax has streamlined your approval process! We’re glad to hear the system is making a difference for your team. Your suggestions for improving exporting and timecard functionalities are invaluable, and we’ll share them with our team.

Office manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workmax experience " January 13, 2025 5.0 It works just fine for what we need and field technicians understand the application Pros Simple to use, only issue is that sometimes re remove jobs and field technicians are able to access Cons That one have to pay to get a form or signature Alternatives considered [hh2 Remote Payroll](https://www.capterra.com/p/168292/Remote-Payroll/) Reason for choosing WorkMax I like face recognition and we wanted to create shift rules. Like how simple it is with workmax Review Source Response from Foundation Software January 14, 2025 Thank you, Hilda! It’s great to hear that WorkMax is simple to use and meets your needs. Your feedback on job accessibility and form costs is noted and will help us enhance the experience. PP PAULA P. HR Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WorkMax... Why not!!!" July 29, 2025 5.0 I love it. We have move away from many paper forms to WM forms and that created an user friendly app, accountability, and easy to process time. Pros That most of my managers mistake went away with auto sync, correct GO Fence, easy to use. Being able to approve time in a timely matter made a difference and to be able to integrate Foundation with WorkMax for less manual errors. Cons That the forms are not auto sync like the time. Sometimes employees forget to sync the forms and it takes time to receive the forms when you need them the most. Review Source Response from Foundation Software July 30, 2025 Thank you, Paula! We’re thrilled to hear WorkMax has helped eliminate manual errors, speed up approvals, and streamline your processes—especially with FOUNDATION integration. We appreciate your feedback on form syncing and are always working to improve the experience! CE Corinna E. Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WorkMax '25" April 15, 2025 4.0 The punching in and out functionality has worked fine but the integration issues, and dealing with the support time over and over on it is frustrating. Pros We purchased WorkMax for our remote employees to be able to punch in and out with and it has worked fine for that purpose. Cons The continual struggles I have with the integration between WorkMax and Acumatica. Review Source Response from Foundation Software April 16, 2025 Thanks for the feedback, Corinna!

Customer Service promptly calls back and follows up. Pros We were using About Time and switch to Workmax with no problems. The field workers grasped on right away. Simple process. Cons That I have to sign out for it to reset when I delete a clock in/out. Review Source Response from Foundation Software January 13, 2025 Thank you for sharing your experience with WorkMax!

KS Kayla S. Director of HR Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good overall and easy to use" January 13, 2025 3.0 Good overall, but I wish there was more functionality around communications to the field, guardrails for compliance and reporting. Pros Real-Time time entry, cloud-based app to be used anywhere, simple code access with picture taking for identification. Cons Creating and using Forms is a bit clunky, not being able to block CA employees from clocking in early for lunch, not being able to report on fields from Forms using Insights license. Review Source Response from Foundation Software January 14, 2025 Thank you for your feedback, Kayla! We're glad to hear you find the real-time time entry and cloud-based functionality helpful. We appreciate your suggestions on improving forms and compliance features and will share your input with our team. KP Karen P. Controller Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "WorkMax Time and Forms" August 9, 2024 4.0 Not a bad system. Everyone seems to be getting the hang of it now. Pros Generally simple for office staff and field staff to use. Cons Having to edit projects to include the other state payroll rules after they have been imported. Should be something that happens based on a setting in the job/project. Reason for choosing WorkMax Integration with Foundation products appeared to be simpler. Review Source RP Rachelle P. Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Buyer Beware" October 31, 2019 5.0 This program is great until you have questions or they have updated the program. If you don't purchase their yearly support and certain things aren't working for you, they will not help you!! They won't even talk to you if you don't give them a credit card on the spot. This is terrible customer service. If I were to work with my clients on those terms, we would be out of business! They don't tell you that you have to buy the yearly support to function right. Our GPS has stopped working all together and I have an employee who's phone isn't working at all with the program after I have done everything I was trained to do to activate. Here is the response I was given over email: The reason GPS is not working is due to a change on the providers side. Because the provider we used for GPS Maps changed their code on how information is delivered, we had to rebuild our software to meet their standard. If your support is current you have the ability to update the software and it would be working again with no additional charge above the yearly support plan. However, since you are out of support, even if it is broken there is nothing we can do to resolve it. WOW!! WE spent a lot of money to purchase this program. Apple doesn't make me pay for updates, my computer company doesn't make me pay for updates. This is absolutely ridiculous to me. Save your money and look for a company that is willing to support their program without an extra fee. Pros Easy to use and change back and forth from job to job. Cons The support is horrible is you don't buy their yearly support. Review Source BS Bearin S. Owner Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great company with solid products and helpful people" May 6, 2020 5.0 The software is easy to use. The customer support is helpful and knowledgeable. The training team made the process go fast. Pros I was a long time user of About Time time keeping software, and switched to WorkMax last year. I like that WorkMax is web based. It is very similar to About Time, so my switch was relatively easy. They spent several sessions with me and walked me thru all the features and got all of my information from Quickbooks setup. It is easy for my field crews to move between jobs and select tasks for for those jobs. Their time is continuously sent to WorkMax, so I always know what is being done. Cons I wish when jobs are imported from Quickbooks, that WorkMax would only import the tasks that were used to build the job in Quickbooks, so that job costing was maintained better between the 2 programs. There are work arounds, which I use that make this happen, but it adds an additional step. Reason for choosing WorkMax Because of my long relationship with About Time Technologies. Review Source LJ Lorinda J. Account/Payroll Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "AboutTime Review" June 8, 2022 4.0 Accurate time accountability. Easier job costing. Ease of exporting into our sytem Pros Integration with our main software was easy. Helps keep accurate time for employees. Holds employee's accountable. Easy to access help on the phone. Cons Can be confusing if not trained properly. Employees have to remember to "Sync" their time Reason for choosing WorkMax It was a mutual department decision Review Source TE Tiffany E. Payroll Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Works for Us!" March 1, 2022 5.0 Overall this has been the prefect fit for what we needed to reduce time spent on data entry. Pros The integration capabilities with Sage300 Cons We would like to see a function that can track changes to time records and the ability to undo them.
