Buddy Punch vs. Harri

I think that is very convenient as far as tracking your employees when they are punching in or out to ensure they are physically at the location they are supposed to be for that shift. I also think that the option to download this app to your personal phone is amazing, it makes it more convenient to punch in or out when you aren't near a laptop or a residence to use one. The feature of being able to attach a note with your punches explaining possible late punchers or absences is very beneficial to the employee allows show proof if needed.

Harri is optimized for hotel companies and medium-sized companies with a high demand for personnel, due to its potential it allows the recruitment of suitable employees for each job

• Their customer service is second to none. We have requested several changes over the years for the web interface and app; I think all the requests we've made were implemented by this point. I only wish this was the case with other companies we utilize.
• They allow you to set different pay rates based on department which allows us to pay employees more for the skilled jobs they perform versus the more basic work they perform. This is a huge benefit to a small company as it encourages employees to strive for more skilled work and they keep moving up the ladder to become even better assets to the company.
• The reports you can run are very thorough and work very well for us when it comes time to enter payroll.
• Having the ability to set alerts has allowed us to cut back on unnecessary overtime as employees can get reminders prior to going over. We can also set reminders for employees to punch in/out for the ones that have a tendency to forget.

• I9 is filled up with machine accuracy. The fact that it is not possible to override the system and hire someone without a proper and valid work permit, makes our lives more relaxed.
• Adding a new policy is done within a couple of hours... for the company that has close to 400 employees.
• Reporting is quick and very easy to handle. All of your data can be pulled from the phone!
• Managing interviews and handling hiring is extremely fast. everything is being done through three clicks.

• Sometimes I need to check back to be sure I'm still punched in.
• The indicator between punched in and out is not very indicative of if I am or not.
• I want to total hours not just by the week but by pay periods 1-15 days, 16-end of [the] month.

• Isn't very clear on how to load your own templates
• The interview calendar could be vastly improved in my opinion, and perhaps tie in with personal calendars on phone/email

I have never had to use customer support on Harri’s website. I would say that this tells you a lot about the software itself - very user-friendly - which is why I scored it a 7! There have been a few times when it has taken me a while to work out errors on a page, for example, phone number formats. It would be useful if Harri were to provide more information e.g., if you were to hover over the telephone number, for example. It told you the way it wanted you to write it.

We originally scheduled and ran payroll through Homebase, but in the last few months the software became very buggy, customer service was slow and when they did respond, was not helpful. When we cancelled our account they didn't even try to make things right. We are so happy that Buddy Punch is like us--taking care of their clients and really invested in their success!

It was a very confusing Sales process at Fourth and with Harri, it was seamless and easy to use and communicate with their team.

• Efficiency has definitely gone up switching to Buddy Punch. Ive never quantified specific hours or time lapse it has given to my personal managerial efficiency. But it has without doubt.
• I can see a better overview of the employees I need to be concerned with and not have to filter out others not concerning me.
• Ease of use has decreased mental stress and angst in maneuvering employee time cards.

• Using Harri we found that through its functions we were able to attract a large number of potential employees with skills suited to our needs.
• We were easily able to identify and reflect the great time gain and paperwork savings obtained by using this software.
• Harri allows the use of all the ATS tools present in this type of software, presenting itself as one of the most complete at a moderate cost.
