The Best Agency
Time Tracking
Software
Track all of your team members’ billable and non-billable hours with Buddy Punch’s privacy-first time-tracking software for agencies.
How Buddy Punch’s time-tracking app works
1. Clocking in and out
Employees clock in and out on their computers. When they clock in, they select the client they’re working on so you can easily track hours worked per client.
2. Viewing timesheets
Buddy Punch compiles all clock-in and out data into timesheets that you can view anytime on the admin dashboard. Hours and overtime are automatically calculated.
3. Running payroll
Use Buddy Punch as your payroll provider, or integrate our data with payroll providers like QuickBooks and ADP. Running payroll will be faster and more accurate than ever.
4. Invoicing clients
Export reports showing all employee time spent on specific clients. Reports are available in Excel, CSV, and PDF formats. Use that data to create accurate invoices quickly.
A time-tracking app your team will love
Privacy-first
Other time clocks make your team feel micromanaged by monitoring everything they do on their computers all day. Buddy Punch simply tracks the hours they worked.
Simple task-switching
When employees need to switch projects, they simply select the new project in Buddy Punch. Their timecards will show all of the projects they worked on over the course of the day.
Easy editing
If an employee forgets to switch projects, they can easily edit their own timecards to make sure they’re accurate. Admins or managers can review and approve those edits if needed.
Advanced features for knowledge workers
Flexible punching options
Remote team members can clock in and out on their computers or mobile phones. If everyone works together in and office, you can set up a tablet as a time clock kiosk.
IP address locks
If team members are clocking in before they arrive at the office, set up IP address locks in Buddy Punch to prevent clocking in and out when employees aren’t in the office.
Simple invoicing
Create job codes for your different clients. Employees select a job code when clocking in, then you can see exactly how many hours were spent working on each client’s project.
Time-off tracking
Employees can request PTO using the Buddy Punch app. If the request is approved, those hours are automatically added to their time cards and deducted from their PTO balances.
Features to save you time and money
Overtime alerts
Get a notification when team members are nearing overtime to eliminate or reduce unexpected overtime costs.
Time card approvals
Get managers to validate their team members’ hours worked and approve their timesheets before running payroll.
PTO accruals
Set up rules for how employees accrue PTO. Buddy Punch will automatically calculate earned PTO for everyone.
Reports
Create custom reports to meet the needs of your specific business. Download any report as a PDF, spreadsheet, or CSV file.
Automatic breaks
Set up your break triggers and lengths, and Buddy Punch will automatically deduct breaks from timecards.
Time card editing
If someone forgets to punch, an admin can easily go into their timecard and edit the hours to make sure they’re paid properly.
