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.

I cannot think of a situation where ClickTime would not be suited. Whether you have 1 or 100 employees, 5 or 500 jobs, when time is entered into the system it can be tracked, compared, and managed. It's particularly good for any company that needs to track time for hourly billing or to look at the average times it takes to do various jobs for flat billing - both of which our company does.

Cons
  • the simplicity can go to far in that direction. So it seems a bit sparse at times. Theres a lot of dead space on some page landings.
  • update on colors to be more vibrant and fun.
  • menu buttons to go to particular specifics like vacation and sick submissions

Usability
Buddy Punch is really easy to use. It's easy to punch in and out when needed as it's on the home page. It's also easy to track your colleagues who are on leave so you know how to plan for coverage. This makes it easy for us to adjust accordingly.

I have not reviewed or evaluated any other similar products and this is the first time I am using this type of product. I have been a salaried employee for 25 years and this is my first contract position, but Buddy Punch has made the time tracking very simple and efficient.

All other programs we have looked at did not allow for us to create billable clients to track time against. They were simply time and attendance platforms for tracking when employees worked.
