    Top notch customer service!!!!

    Date: Jul 28 2025
    Summary

    We've been using Buddy Punch for a couple months now, and it has completely transformed how we manage employee time tracking. The setup was incredibly quick and straightforward, we were up and running in no time! The interface is clean, user-friendly, and intuitive, which made the transition seamless for our entire team.

    What really stands out, though, is the amazing customer service. Anytime we've had a question, the support team has been prompt, helpful, and genuinely invested in making sure we’re getting the most out of the software.

    It integrates effortlessly with a variety of payroll platforms, making payroll processing smooth and efficient. After trying several different systems over the years, Buddy Punch is hands-down the best we've had. Highly recommend it to any business looking for a reliable and easy-to-use timekeeping solution!

    Date: Feb 05 2025
    Summary

    I love that it takes very little time to acclimate to the program. It is user friendly and does not feel like it needs to be explained to me. I enjoy using it.

    Very easy to use, has a good amount of features, the design is slick, the support team is awesome, and the pricing is reasonable.

    Negative

    The amount of features is nice, though could be improved. Additionally, the lack of a portable version of the software is strange.

    welcome to management tracking

    Date: Sep 04 2025
    Summary

    it's fine for the micromanaging distrusting employer that needs to keep track of their employers that's all.
    Great for employers who have too many time sheets to keep track of and want computers to do it.

    Positive

    well for the managers that can't handle time sheets and want to geofence and track their clients around.... monitor that they are indeed working and staying at the desk to log in and log out. or if they are on their phone follow their phone around during the day to see where they've gone off to for a long lunch...

    Negative

    leave your phone at work if you use your phone to punch in and out,. don't forget employers can geo fence or gps track your phone so they know if you've tried to log in while not actually at work.
    Check and edit your time sheet if you've punched out and your boss has it set to revert back 15 minutes. when you edit, make sure you edit and explain away why you couldn't punch in on time IE the computer took to long to log in.
