    "welcome to management tracking"

    Posted 2025-09-04

    Pros: well for the managers that can't handle time sheets and want to geofence and track their clients around.... monitor that they are indeed working and staying at the desk to log in and log out. or if they are on their phone follow their phone around during the day to see where they've gone off to for a long lunch...

    Cons: leave your phone at work if you use your phone to punch in and out,. don't forget employers can geo fence or gps track your phone so they know if you've tried to log in while not actually at work.
    Check and edit your time sheet if you've punched out and your boss has it set to revert back 15 minutes. when you edit, make sure you edit and explain away why you couldn't punch in on time IE the computer took to long to log in.

    Overall: it's fine for the micromanaging distrusting employer that needs to keep track of their employers that's all.
    Great for employers who have too many time sheets to keep track of and want computers to do it.

    "Top notch customer service!!!!"

    Posted 2025-07-28

    Pros: Amazing customer service, very user friendly platform, intuitive setup, and onboarding was great! Also love how it integrates with QB Desktop!

    Cons: Nothing yet... they are so great! My only thing I'm working on is tweaking a report.

The setup was incredibly quick and straightforward, we were up and running in no time! The interface is clean, user-friendly, and intuitive, which made the transition seamless for our entire team.

    What really stands out, though, is the amazing customer service. Anytime we've had a question, the support team has been prompt, helpful, and genuinely invested in making sure we’re getting the most out of the software.

    It integrates effortlessly with a variety of payroll platforms, making payroll processing smooth and efficient. After trying several different systems over the years, Buddy Punch is hands-down the best we've had. Highly recommend it to any business looking for a reliable and easy-to-use timekeeping solution!

    Posted 2025-05-21

    Pros: This app is awesome! You can check you schedule easily, you can also see your colleagues schedules. What makes it great is the time off calendar. You can see whether there's someone on time off for a specific day, which is helpful for us since we can only take time off one at a time.

    Overall: Buddy Punch is the best! It is user-friendly, it doesn't give you a headache just by navigating the interface.

    Pros: easy access
    easily understood
    My supervisor states that it's user friendly
    easy to navigate
    phone access

    Cons: We can't use it on our phone app because it's hard to prove if we are actually in the office. A gps tracker would be handy to verify where we are at checkin and check out.

    Overall: Great system, very easy to understand. Unfortunately we can't use the phone app, per our company. But it is very user friendly.
