Pros
Pros
-Could build labor budgets.
-GPS locations.
-App reminds you to clock in when you get to the job site.
Cons
-Time consuming to edit each employees hours each week. Our typical work week is 7am-3:30pm. If a guy clocks in at 6:45 we have to manually change it at the end of the week to 7am. Also their break time is 30 mins each day. Your default is 15 mins so we have to manually edit each week.
-Can't build a labor budget based off the cost code rather you need to create a sub-projects.
-Would be nice if it could sync with Procore so we don't have to manually enter labor each week.
-Glitches ever so often.
Response from Align Technologies
Hi David,
Thank you for the in depth review. We are happy you like the reminders and GPS stamps. We currently integrate with Procore. I will reach out to you directly to provide details on how our integration works.

They have been really amazing to work with honestly, the team is super helpful, replies quickly, and seems to really want to understand my issues and solve any problems. That is huge for me!
Pros
I like the field budgeting options that can use both time tracked (hours) or labor burden (dollars) to track the progress of each project
Cons
There isn't much to not like about it overall, but some of the menu's could be a little more user friendly, but honestly, I think all of the apps we've used could use some improvement on that.

Honestly because Quickbooks Time (the last option we used for about 3 years) raised their prices so high and their customer service got so bad. It's not a bad app, but to be that expensive and have horrible customer service... no thanks!Reasons for Switching to busybusy
I honestly liked Clockshark (used them for a few years) and they had great customer service, but they didn't offer a few features that BusyBusy did which is really what sold me on using BusyBusy when we left Quickbooks Time.Response from Align Technologies
Thank you for your detailed review! We're delighted that busybusy's field budgeting options have been valuable for tracking project progress, whether by hours or labor costs. We appreciate your feedback on the menu usability and will take that into consideration for future improvements.

Recording employee hours all in one place, making it easy to use. The offline capability was critical and it was easy to adopt. We even use it to track when we're out of town at different job sites for per diem purposes.
Pros
It is easy to record hours and switch between different tasks, our employees picked up on it quickly (even users who struggle with technology), and reports help us understand and improve profitability. The value that we get from the product is incredible.
Cons
It can be difficult to set up with QuickBooks.

Pros
It wasn't until we tried to switch away from busybusy when we implemented a new job costing software, that I realized how streamlined and efficient Busybusy is. We switched back immediately! The sync to quickbooks, ease of use, and flexibility to changes are what I like most.
Cons
The only con I see is not being able to assign different pay rates per project (like prevailing wage projects).

Pros
Busy Busy makes it very easy to switch between jobs and labor divisions. For a busy remodeling company with several open jobs, Busy Busy is invaluable for keeping our labor costs on the right track.
Cons
Busy Busy would be even easier to use if it had a widget or was able to work via voice commands on a phone or tablet. Text reminders to punch out when leaving a jobsite would be enhanced with text reminders to sign your timecard at the end of a given pay period.

With guys in construction it is great for them to clock in and out where ever they are. If they forget it is easy to fix. I get follow up calls now and then from busybusy to see if I am using what I need or if I need more access. Being able to choose which job they are at helps us code our workers comp class codes.
Pros
The ease of employees not needing training much for this app. It does so many things we don't use but would find valuable such as the gps and equipment used.
Cons
I do not have a complaint about busybusy.

BusyBusy has streamlined our payroll, by integrating with our accounting software we are now able to directly import our employee's time rather than manually entering in the data from paper time cards. Another major plus is the scheduling feature, our Project Managers are now able to update our crew on the fly and direct them to their next worksites.
Pros
The software is very easy to use and the mobile app makes it simple for our employees to keep track of their time. The Scheduling feature has also become a integral part of our daily/weekly planning for our project managers
Cons
Right now the only thing we would like to see would be a feature that tracks small equipment, something like the Milwaukee Tag system that uses Bluetooth and QR codes to map where small equipment is being used.

I can track my hours worked by crew, employee, job, and compare that to monthly revenue, making root cause analysis easier for unprofitable jobs. Having these numbers lets me know if there is a problem I need to search for and find. I can also do my yearly budget for the business better, as I'm able to track hours that need to be applied to overhead from year to year.
Pros
I love the report dashboard, which allows me to see everything about the labor in my company in one glance. If I need to drill down into any issues, the reports tab makes it easy.
Cons
I have turned on geo reporting and required my guys to send a report of their location when they clock in. I turned it off due to privacy concerns. BusyBusy was tracking them 24/7. Their location was recorded on the weekends, at night, etc., and it was invasive. The racking was a couple of years ago, so I don't know if it is still a problem.

We switch to BusyBusy in 2021 and our company couldn’t be happier. They have a very helpful staff that has worked through all our needs. Our employees love when they clock out they can report any discrepancies in time which cuts down the standing around in the office. The check in process is convenient and employees love they can just do it through their phone. When it comes to payroll, it makes it really easy and can even calculate all time off. Love the constant upgrades they offer. Thanks BusyBusy for making our lives less cluttered here at Megan’s Management, BCM Landscaping, and Country Gardens & Nursery.

Accurate time keeping and book keeping for labor costs, per project. GPS tracking that will show the location when each employee has clocked in and clocked out, whether for normal work, as well as lunch breaks.
Pros
I love this app because of the clock-in accuracy and the ability to easily move from project site to project site. It is very easy to use, I literally taught myself how to use this app and discovered other features that I felt were benefiting for myself as well as for my employer. I love that it can keep records of costs for each project, which makes book keeping much easier when it comes to labor costs. I also like that I can review my hours for the week prior before I sign and submit to our payroll department. This way I can bring up any discrepancies that I may have.
It's also easy to add new employee's and archive the ones that have either left or been terminated. It's easy to fix any discrepancy, if any, that regards hours or project location.
Cons
The only thing that I least like about this software is that on rare occasions I've had my GPS notification pop us stating that I have stepped away from the office, and if I would like to clock out, even though I haven't left the office. Other than that this program has been awesome.
Response from Align Technologies
Hi Kawika,
Thank you for your review. We are happy you love the software and how accurate the timekeeping is. You can simply ignore those notification you get when it asks you to clock out of the location. It's just a reminder to help keep track of accurate time. I would review the geolocation for the office and expand it a bit more to prevent this from happening.
I hope this helps,
