Arcoro HR vs. ECI MarkSystems

We have recommended to at least two other colleagues. It helps to prevent dishonest time keeping. Manual timekeeping by a supervisor seems to create a lot of room for errors including forgetfulness of who showed up and when. It's nice to be able to track when each employee is working or how many people are on each worksite.

Out of all the software I have been exposed to, ECI MarkSystems really is the most user friendly for not only the builder but for trade partners as well.

• Employee logs in and answers health-related questions before beginning work. They remotely provide their own timesheet information, adjustable by the administrator where needed.
• Location at time of login is readily available. Distance from jobsite can be determined at any login.
• Time for lunch is automatically deducted from work hours, logged by type of work interrupted, and easily adjustable by the employer if necessary.
• Reports by employees of time spent on any type of work during the work day and work week are readily available. Work by job name is also available.

Incentivized

• ECI MarkSystems
• ITK
• Insearch

Incentivized

• It would be a nice feature if employees could add photos of their progress on jobsites
• The GPS could be a bit more exact for tracking employees
• The reports page online is not the most user friendly page. It seems dated.

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.

It's easy for anyone tech savvy. It is kind of impossible to make anything even more user-friendly than it already is. The app itself has zero issues for all my staff. The admin side of things takes a bit more knowing and learning.

For our particular organization, we are semi-custom, which can make things a little more complex but we have almost always been able to find a solution due to its flexibility.

I have had problems outside of normal business hours and I get a return phone call from them pretty quickly. There has only been I think 1 instance that I waited for too long to be able to fix my situation.

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.

I haven't used any other tools, but I can say that ECI BuildTools has been great for our organization.

I think it is priced a little high, but no time to look for other options at this time.

Incentivized

• Saved at least 15 hours of time entry per week
• Employees clock in and out with accuracy to the minute instead of guessing how many hours they worked on each job/day
• Jobs/locations are listed on the app so employees can easily find the job they are working on instead of hunting through paperwork to find the location number
• Geofencing tracks employees clocking in outside the job location

Incentivized

• Setting up the system as intended over the last few years has make workload much better, VPOs have been significantly reduced, etc.
• We have greatly reduced the amount of options, but implementing replacement options.
