Formerly ExakTime + Birddog HR & InfinityHR

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.

For my industry, ExakTime is incredible. The geo fencing, and clock-in locations and job types works incredibly well. I am likely to recommend because I have and I do recommend it constantly to others in my industry. I would say the only reason more people are not trying is it, is because they are of an older generation and using a virtual program can be daunting.

ExakTime is well suited in the area of app punch clocks for use in the field. The app function eliminates the need for bulky punch clocks and scenarios where hours are cheated and misinterpreted.

ExakTime requires some work around to accommodate individual tasks within the larger grouping related to an individual project.

Pro:On the jobsite, our foremen can easily switch their crew between the different tasks on a certain project, which gives the admins a real time view of employee time for cost analysis.
Con: Employees can turn off their location and tracking can be lost until they either turn the location back on or get back on a wifi signal.

The errors and complications of the employees not being able to clock in and out when they are inside the geofence. Needing a notification to be sent out to remind the employees they need to approve their timecard.

ExakTime helped us identify employees who were not clocking out when taking long lunch breaks and lying about when they actually arrived and clocked in. It helps hold employees accountable.

Great for tracking employees' time and transferring to the accounting system.

ExakTime is well suited for a company with multiple locations, groups of employees, and needs as far as collecting time. ExakTime may be overkill for a company with only one location that doesn't need to track time against multiple projects.

It is great for field workers who are always out and about, and you want to track their time on each project. It wouldn't be helpful if you don't track time by job.

For the size of our organization, I believe ExactTime is an appropriate tool for tracking timesheets. If the organization were to grow exponentially, I feel like there would need to be more monitoring on a daily basis due to the fact that some employees forget to clock in and out.

We chose ExakTime because of the Geofence option. We are allowing our company to see when an employee left the premises without clocking out. With ExakTime, we are able to see precisely how many actual working hours are spent on a project.

I find ExakTime easy to use. I am able to run reports that give me the specifics for job costing of labor.

well suited for construction industry because employees can punch in and out on any mobile device, anywhere, regardless of any type of travel; well suited for keeping employees honest with their locations for punching when travelling and the pictures allow for employees to not be able to punch for someone else. Even well suited for office personnel because it records the time for payroll all in one place.

This is a job-costing/tracking powerhouse. All the scenarios are covered, and they make it easy to scale up or down, depending on your situation.

The same as the business case for us. We only used it for benefits enrollment and elections for both new hires and open enrollment. I think it is a good software to small to midsize companies. In most cases, if you are able to integrated everything into one system, that would be best, but if you have a need for a standalone benefits election software as we did, then this is great.

I just think it's very expensive. I wish it as a bit cheaper and our representative is more attentative. i tried contacting him and calling him about our charge as we got charged for accounts that weren't active but i got ignored. But its really ice for being a contractor and being able to see that no matter where they are they're able to clock in.

ExakTime gets a 6 for likelihood to recommend it because although it has been very helpful in the time recording and location management function, the scheduling function in very lacking, and the Support/Customer Service is minimal. If the new functions mentioned in previous questions are implemented, the system would be much more user-friendly, and I would probably bump my rating to 8 or 9.

All the features that sold me on ExakTime did not work like their sales person described them. It was not user friendly for my employees. And after we canceled ExakTime they continued to bill us even after we told them serval times to cancel, their customer service was poor and failed to answer our questions in a timely manner, nor were we reimbursed for our payments made after we canceled. I would definitely not recommend ExakTime to any company.

ExakTime is perfect when you want to track you labor in the field. I would use for office staff. ExakTime is also really well suited if you have workers in more than one location. If all of your employees usually just work in one location, I would probably utilize a different software.

It is well suited for construction where you have employees at different job sites because of the gps fence for clocking in. I don’t know how well suited it would be for an office only setting. There are many pros and cons to it, highly reccomended for construction work setting.

If you are a regional spread out construction company in need to introducing electronic HR processes, our field employees have fully embraced and mastered using the ATS and Onboarding. Doing this has improved timeliness of hiring, reduced errors and made turning the first paycheck a non-issue.

I like how ExakTime geo fencing can narrow down how far an employee is from the work area before clocking in and out. The view sets to adjust cost codes for different projects is a plus. I also appreciate the pinpoint setup with the radius to determine the work zone is adjustable even after adding the address. There are often errors when trying to adjust time. I've seen people's time get doubled when a correction is needed.

ExakTime has really helped us with the employees lunches. We used to use handwritten timesheets, which were outdated. Now, they can use their phone to punch out for their lunch. Another great thing is that we can see if an employee is clocking out from the correct locations or from home.

Doing payroll for 48 people is a task, Exak Time has made it easier and harder for me. People do not clock in and do not get paid then they come complaining. Some clock in 30 min before their shift and want to get paid to stand around and drink coffee and smoke. The put random jobs down so I cannot track where they are. They come and go as they please and that helps us keep costs down so we are not paying them when they are not really on the job (a problem we had before). Most of it is the crews responsibility to do it right. It helps me to see which employees can be trusted and which cannot. Sometimes the log in or out does not send data to me the same day. One guy was snowed in 12 miles away for 3 days his data for payroll did not send till he came back into town.
