2. Capture photos
When employees access Buddy Punch on a computer, tablet, or mobile phone, the system will prompt them to take a selfie when clocking in/out.
3. Review photos
View the selfies employees took at any time on your admin dashboard or employees’ timesheets to make sure no one was buddy punching.
More ways to prevent time theft with Buddy Punch
GPS tracking
Capture employees’ locations when they clock in and out, then review those locations on their timesheets to make sure they were on site. You can also track their locations in real-time all day.
Geofencing
Prevent employees from clocking in before they arrive at a job site or clocking out after they leave with geofences — virtual, location-based radiuses you create around your worksites.
IP address locks
For office workers, you can use IP address locks rather than geofences. This feature requires employees to be connected to your office’s Wi-Fi network in order to clock in or out.
Facial recognition
Available on Apple devices (iPhones and iPads), Buddy Punch’s facial recognition feature uses FaceID’s technology to validate employees’ identities before they’re allowed to clock in or out.
“I like that you can require a photo and location for your employees when clocking in. It is really easy to set up. The facial recognition feature is super helpful when a bunch of employees are clocking in on one device!”
“I love how easy it is to access help. You can use their chat, and they respond almost immediately. They will help fix anything. I love the facial recognition feature and other features that are offered to ensure that your staff is on the job site in order to sign in.”
“I used other more expensive systems at previous employers, and Buddy Punch has been more than sufficient for our size of business. It is easy to run reports. My favorite time-in option is facial recognition. It works the most consistently.”
