What is Buddy Punch?

Buddy Punch is an online time tracking, scheduling, and payroll application. Track time, time off, locations, and jobs. The solution aims to help make punching in and out intuitive for employees and easy for users to view and export time. Employees can clock in using a browser or the Buddy Punch Google, iOS, and Android apps. Users can view who's working, their GPS position, or even limit where they can punch. The solution integrates with QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex, and SurePayroll, to name a few, while also offering Excel exports. Advanced features such as Time Off Accrual Tracking, Punch Rounding, Job Codes, QR Codes, Automatic Breaks, and SSO are all included in our cloud-based time clock.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Buddy Punch for all our scheduling and time tracking needs. It is then integrated with QuickBooks Desktop to assist in payroll and invoicing. The scheduling feature is very easy to use. It is a little cumbersome with availability and with setting up the link between QB and Buddy Punch, but once it is set up, it works well. It needs to add the ability to manually enter the mileage for a punch.

Pros

  • Scheduling
  • Time and Time out punches
  • Note tracking

Cons

  • Managers ability to edit "availability"
  • Manually enter mileage for a punch
  • Initial setup with Quickbooks desktop

Return on Investment

  • Ease of payroll, save administrative time
  • Time tracking, accurately tracks employees activities
  • Scheduling, allows managers and administrators to adjust schedule
