HouseCall Pro vs. Tempus Central

[HouseCall Pro] would be great for service techs and smaller companies but is tough for companies that do multiple types of jobs, [do] not sync well with QBO for us, and creates an accounting mess. Also does not do job costing so hard to actually keep track of jobs

If you are a manufacturing company, managing a few hundred blue-collar workers, you definitely need Tempus Central. This is the cheapest option we found so far, with all the required features. If you are a small company with fairly simple attendance policy settings and not many shifts, you can avoid using Tempus Central.

We selected Tempus Central for its flexibility and amount of policy setups we could do. Our complex requirements especially Night Shift management were not available with the most readily available HRMS. Hence, we move forward with Attendance Management first and maybe then we will move towards implementing an HRMS on our premises.

• Negative is time lost fixing books.
• Negative is having to use multiple programs to fulfill needs so it takes 2x as long.
