    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.

    Pros
    Buddy Punch
    • 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.

    Cons
    Buddy Punch
    • 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.

    Most of my employees have figured it out pretty quickly, even the ones who are a little less technically savvy. If you have a phone, then you have the ability to use this app. There are a few quirky things with notes and punches that happen, but this may just be the employees

    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!

    Buddy Punch
    • 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.

This brings daily staffing and operational data into one centralized view. Managers can monitor open shifts, shift swaps, employee requests, availability requests, scheduled coverage by role, paid hours, overtime, estimated pay, paid breaks, training quiz completion, and a visual shift timeline—making urgent staffing and workforce priorities easier to identify.Screenshot of Teamsly’s employee timesheet and time tracking software, which organizes timecards, paid hours, regular hours, overtime, paid and unpaid breaks, and estimated pay. Managers can compare scheduled hours with actual hours, spot timecard issues, review attendance data by employee and date range, add missing timecards, and download detailed reports for payroll preparation.Screenshot of Teamsly’s task management software, which helps managers create one-time tasks and recurring operational checklists, assign work by employee or role, and monitor completion from one dashboard. Status metrics show assigned, completed, late, and overdue work, while Today and History views strengthen accountability across opening, closing, cleaning, food preparation, and other repeatable team workflows.Screenshot of where Teamsly centralizes digital forms, checklists, and surveys for frontline and deskless teams. Managers can create and assign workflows such as employee training attendance forms, new-location opening checklists, customer satisfaction surveys, and employee surveys, then track assigned, started, completed, incomplete, and past-due submissions from a filterable reporting dashboard.Screenshot of Teamsly’s audit management software, which standardizes inspections and evaluations for employees, external participants, locations, equipment, and other operational subjects. Managers can assign audits, set scoring goals, monitor average scores, track completed and incomplete work, and identify past-due audits across food safety, employee hygiene, equipment maintenance, storage, workplace cleanliness, training, and knowledge.
