## Overview

### Key benefits of Buddy Punch

The team has tested the app with real users and it required no training to be effective. Error handling is built in as the application helps employees fix issues and automatically notifies the manager. Not only is the app intuitive but security is a top priority. Not only is the information encrypted but if the computer has a webcam, it can be used to take snapshots of each punch, to verify that employees are actually there and doing the punching. Buddy Punch can be used on any internet connected device.

## Reviews

### "Easy to use for staff\!" — 5.0/5

> **Amanda** | *8 January 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The system is user friendly and all my staff say its so easy to use. They love it\! Which is a huge improvement from our last solution. I like that time off requests can also be handled within the same system.
> 
> **Cons**: There are a couple reports that I would like to see a bit more detail or formatted a little differently, but that's a wish not a need. It's very functional, just a couple things that could be nice to make it even more efficient.
> 
> We needed a new solution for timekeeping and Buddy Punch came through\! Onboarding and integration was so easy. Once I figured out all the setting options, it's really easy to customize to exactly what you need. Employees love using it because it's so straight forward to use.

### "Buddy Punch Delivers\!" — 5.0/5

> **Anthony** | *10 February 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very easy to use and setup new employees.  Technical support resources are comprehensive and when more assistance is required a real person is readily available to assist.
> 
> **Cons**: More flexibility to customize and save report templates.
> 
> Overall experience has been great\!  Delivers as promised\!

### "Good app. More user friendly" — 3.0/5

> **Camila** | *4 January 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I really liked that the app was very to the point, meaning you didn’t have to make many clicks to understand its features.
> 
> **Cons**: I believe it does need a tad bit more personalization items, making the app a tad bit more pleasant to the eye would be a plus.
> 
> It was a good experience, it does what it should, but comparing it to other systems I’ve used before it’s lacking some features.

-----

### "A great program for scheduling\!" — 4.0/5

> **Sherrri** | *18 November 2025* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The scheduling and payroll is easy to use. Employee management is nice so I can see the hours staff are putting in.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes when people log in and out it doesn't register. We then need to go back in and take the time to fix their hours.
> 
> For the most part it has done what I have needed it to do. It is very self-explanatory. I have been able to figure out most things for myself.

### "A great way to track your team's in and outs" — 5.0/5

> **Mark** | *22 May 2025* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's super easy to punch in and punch out. It's also easy to track the people on leave and so we can plan better.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't have anything I don't like about Buddy Punch so far. Everything is smooth sailing from the day we started using it.
> 
> It was a great switch for us. It's easier to use and track people's in/out and leaves. The picture during in/out can also be a way of fun if you use it to your advantage.
