Novatime (discontinued)

We continue to remain the only professional baseball team that utilizes NOVAtime for our scheduling of staff, mostly because it was designed to schedule hospital workers. The lag time when updating the ASM is extremely time consuming and the inability to work in multiple internet tabs or windows makes it that much more inefficient. I am sure it is a fantastic system for other organizations but it continues to be a challenge for us.

It does all aspects you need for timekeeping and PTO accruals. They also have back-end options to apply rules to applied breaks or PTO rollovers from year to year. The system is very complex, but at the same time, very simple to use.

NOVAtime is an excellent choice for employers who need a timekeeping solution with an easy-to-use and understand user interface, great user experience, and great support from the Ascentis user support teams.

I believe that Novatime would be well suited for a business that has multiple people working the same or similar shifts. I would think that such places like a fast-food restaurant, hotel/hospitality industry, movie theater, and/or retail store would be a place where something like this would be a place where this software might flourish. In small businesses that have personalized care settings and jobs where the hours may change from day to day, I would recommend this particular timekeeping software.

I was part of the launch of NovaTime for our company and the transition was received rather well because it is a rather intuitive and straight forward system from the user side. The main frustration that our users have had are with the non-exempt employees who have to clock in. The system can be delayed or miss punches that individuals have tried to make. Overall, customer support has been very helpful, and for the most part, rather timely.

The product can be modified to use in all types of businesses, manufacturing, health care, and everything in between. This software can be used for labor tracking, employee hour verification.

Ascentis Timekeeper is very well suited for organizations with highly complex configurations. Less useful for very small organizations.
