Asure Time & Attendance vs. Deputy

AsureForce Time would work well for a company with a large volume of non-exempt staff, but the workforce would have to have very simplistic needs. Complex business rules and structure wouldn't be accommodated well by this solution.

[My own feeling on the subject is] that large teams will probably enjoy the features much more than a smaller team. [In my opinion] I would not have signed up with Deputy had it not been for the integration with my payroll provider. [From my point of view] the cost is not worth it for a small team. [I've found] it has a lot of features geared towards big teams and those are not things you can "opt-out" of from a cost/tier standpoint [as far as I'm concerned].

• The sync functionality between the clocks and the software, particularly the new clocks, is a plus.
• The Asure support team is very responsive.

• Employee Scheduling - So straightforward and easy to use! Love the copy & past feature!
• Timekeeping - the App & Kiosk are perfect for employees to clock in and out in a matter of seconds
• Company Communication - the Newsfeed feature makes it easy to keep everyone up to date on company announcements
• Task Management - simple to use task lists help keep my team organized

• The way the business rules are set up doesn't lend itself to easily supporting our specific business/users.
• The software doesn't interface with our HR/payroll solution as well as I'd hoped.

Incentivized

• Integration with various point of sale systems to pull sales data vs. scheduled and/or worked hours.
• Ability to "re-invite, " change a password or fix an employee-level account if they didn't set things up correctly.
• An easier way of loading all holidays or facility closure dates for the year. e.g. Google reminds you, Are you open for Thanksgiving this year?

The basic functionality and overall efficiency it provides is enough to renew. I still would like to see improvements in reporting and leave management, but overall it is absolutely worth it to have the program. I especially like having remote access and supervisors scheduling and approving time sheets of employees

Deputy is user-friendly and easy to understand for users with basic to moderate computer knowledge. The Employee is simple and easy for employees to understand. Employees get push notifications when shifts are scheduled and can clock in and out easily directly from the phone or kiosk, or using the website. The only challenge we’ve had is the ability for management to assign leave to employees who have not yet requested time off.

We have never had a problem with deputy being unavailable

Every time I have contacted support they have answered my question within the hour and solved every problem we have had. They follow up to make sure we are satisfied with our results which has been great when we are busy and get distracted

It was super easy and quick

Did a great job of getting us up to speed with their online documentation.

It took me a bit to get all my staff input from our previous scheduling software. However, once all the information was there, everything went smoothly and we were able to start implementing Deputy right away. It did not take long to train my staff and have them comfortable with using the system.

This product was selected well before I began with my company, and we'll actually be moving off of it soon to Ultimate Software's time & attendance solution.

For years we used TimeTrax systems but they were hard to use and required manual downloads of punches, networked setups, and we needed separate setups for each location. When evaluating cloud-based solutions we first tried TSheets, but the higher cost and lack of features made us choose Deputy. Our main complaint about the actual TSheets system was the IPads did not store punches when it first launched so if you lost internet it couldn't store the punches. When we were evaluating the system they were building a police station next door that resulted in intermittent internet outages and the kiosk app basically became a brick until the internet came back on.

We have gone from using deputy simply to schedule a couple of members of staff on coffee shop shifts, to also scheduling staff in the retail unit part of our business, to now also scheduling team days and having remote working staff start on schedule shifts to track their working hours.

• We spend a lot of time internally on support and set up. Part of this is due to how the software was made and part is due to how our business is structured and changes frequently.
• We are able, though, to scale on top of it easily when we open new locations.

Incentivized

• Hundreds of man-hours saved monthly that previously was spent on recording hours work.
• Holiday management is very clear and support fair treatment of staff.
• The 100% accuracy of timesheets is amazing. Once approved thousands of timesheets just land in our payroll system thanks to the export/import functions.
