Great time keeping app

Reviewed on 2019-01-23

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.

Response from Buddy Punch

Thank you for the review, it is great to hear that you're using our smartphone app as well as our notes and photos on punches feature. We have a few limiting options for employers and that is why you weren't able to login while outside of the show. Thanks again!

My overall experience with Buddy Punch has been positive, especially in terms of tracking hours worked. The platform is user-friendly and offers a reliable way to monitor and manage employee time. The time cards and editable punch times feature is particularly useful for ensuring accuracy and flexibility in recording work hours.

Pros

One of the standout features of Buddy Punch is its time cards and editable punch times. This functionality allows users to easily track and manage work hours, make necessary adjustments, and ensure accurate payroll processing. The flexibility to edit punch times helps in correcting any errors and maintaining precise records.

Cons

One of the downsides of Buddy Punch is the excessive email notifications. Users often find the constant stream of emails overwhelming, especially when it comes to notifications for every punch in and out, shift changes, and other updates.

Response from Buddy Punch

Thanks for the feedback, Andrea! It's great to know that you find Buddy Punch user-friendly and that the flexibility with time cards helps keep things accurate. If the email notifications become too much, users can always disable these from within their profiles. :)

Pros

Easy to access on my mobile, laptop and PC. HIGHLY convenient and effective.

Cons

When it is time to print out my staff time sheets is a minute problem and ineffective. I like to save paper and time. One staff may have one side of the time sheet because of less punches than another staff has two pages. I have more than 21 staff. Literally, i have to pause and customized my printing pages 5 to 6 times, so I don't print a staff time sheets on a back of another staff's one page timesheet.

BuddyPunch has been very helpful and I am glad my organization made the switch from our previous tracker to BuddyPunch. As mentioned earlier, the ease of use of BuddyPunch is what separates it from a lot of competitors.

Pros

BuddyPunch makes employee time tracking very easy. Employees just need to be within a geofence (if one is set up) log in and punch in/punch out. They don't have to jump through endless steps for something that should be straightforward. The user interface is also very user friendly.

Cons

When integrating hours from BuddyPunch to QBO, it'll sometimes error out and you'll have to go back in a submit the hours that it did submit the initial time. It does not happen a lot, but when it does you just need to be sure to catch it to ensure all hours are submitted accurately.

I can say that except for that aspect previously described, my overall experience with Buddy Punch has been pretty good, it's a practical and a great office tool, I'm a remote worker for my company so it really helps keep track of my working time. And I like its name, too, by the way! It really sounds cool!

Pros

It's practical and friendly to use. It's also accurate and you can see your present week's hours in an easy way.

Cons

Something that needs to be improved , at least in my personal experience, it's that it frequently throws an error message and does not allow to punch in or do anything (just logging in and out) until an administrator fixes it. That has happened to me several times in 3 months that I have been using it, without changing PC nor moving to a different work space which is why it might happen sometimes, but it was not my case.

Response from Buddy Punch
