Arcoro is an HR technology company focused on the construction industry, offering solutions to help companies hire, manage and grow their back office, professional and skilled trade workforce.
I used ADP at a different employer and it was very slick! Arcoro HR is aimed more towards the construction industry and although ADP is trying to get into that area, the sales pitches from what I've seen are still not where they need to be. Arcoro HR was construction oriented …
Looked at our current software provider's timekeeping application, prior to purchasing ExakTime. Ease of use and time capture is what sold me on ExakTime.
This is the first product like this that we've used. We've been using ExakTime for several years now, and I can't imagine going back to manual entry! I also wouldn't think there's any comparable product on the market that allows as much customization or would be as user …
before the ExakTime mobile app everything was done via email or hard copy papers. This app was the first one that company attempted to implement and went off without a hitch. The app was so easy to use there was no need to search the market for another time tracking software.
Although Asana works well for offices that focus primarily on office management, it would not be a user-friendly tool for those who are on job sites and traveling to different locations on a daily basis.
I used a software called Kronos, but it was actually for clocking in a warehouse where everyone is stationary. ExakTime is better suited for my particular field because we have multiple locations. I have also used ADP, but I prefer ExakTime because it is bundled with all the …
They were my third choice because they would work with QB. Love the reminder to clock in and out that woould be usefull. Open the Time Clock window in the app.Select a job or task, Select Clock In, Select Clock Out when you’re done for the day. I did not like the layout.
NEOGOV and GoSkills offers relevant preloaded courses that are of interest to our employees. The reporting ability is also more user friendly and the appearance of both platforms is better.
Busy Busy did not track equipment hours. ExakTime tracks them, but the reporting is challenging when trying to combine labor hours and equipment hours in the same report.
Arcoro HR is a terrific product when it is flowing the way you need it to! It has a lot to offer but it just takes time to learn all that it has to offer and then we throw the ever-changing world into the mix. I appreciate the webinars you put out and the quick Open Office Hours have been awesome too! Your people like Arbaz Khan, Max Clement, and Shannon Baquar have been very helpful to me!
Open Enrollment - this is an AWESOME feature. We have over 900 employees and we wouldn't dream of doing this by hand again! Everything legible and every required field filled out.
Electronic feeds to the insurance carriers/benefit vendors - this is seamless and we have more issues with the vendors than with Arcoro HR!
ACA reporting is something that they handle and it is one less headache that we have to deal with!
Applicant tracking that flows into onboarding then into the benefits module!
EmpTrust has been combative in its approach to working with us to address issues. A new E-Verify partner would be greatly appreciated.
Federal and State update forms are delayed in being available within the platform. This causes questions and confusion at onboarding until they're available. Sooner availability would keep the process efficient and reduce data-entry errors that require later changes.
It is easer to keep someing going then change things out. Our employees have taken 6 months to learn this one, I do not want to reinvent the wheel. Just this week I have seen inprovment as they now know they do not get paid if they do not clock in and back out every day.
Very user friendly. Nothing's perfect but ExakTime is pretty close! Employees are diligent about clocking in and out in order to get paid! I love that we can customize reports to get exactly the info that we need. It's also very helpful to provide documentation of hours worked for our customers.
I have not had to use support other then as we got started and had a few hick ups but they were great. They answered all our questions even if some of them were no the program does not do that. I guess the best support is one that is not needed because the product works great and does its job right
Gave a notice to all employees to come to work 15 min early on the day planned to implement the program. I had Spanish and English signs on how to down load the program and log in I showed them ALL how to log in and out and explained that they are responsible for reporting accurate time. I had them all sign a policy that lunch breaks were mandatory for all employees at least 30 min per day. This ensures safety on the roofs. We had a few people who did not have passwords to the app store and we had a few problems with android phones but most of them were on their way quickly. Most not happy about the change but I hope they see the benefit of it now.
We still use Sage, and ExakTime is compatible with it, which is why we went with ExakTime. So technically we use both at this time. ExakTime is a great pairing with Sage since Sage does not have any applications that let employees clock in and out. So we use ExakTime for that and then transfer the information to Sage for the reporting and issuing of deposits/checks, etc.
Payroll Accuracy - Hours used to be manually calculated here. Depending on the person it was almost never accurate resulting in employees being under paid or the company losing money.
Time - To calculate 30+ employees hours, including overtime was a nightmare and took an entire day. I now do minor changes day of payroll to fix up things and ask questions and I am no more than 20 minutes. That is a huge time and money saver.
