How Buddy Punch’s time-tracking software works
1. Creating schedules
Create schedules for your employees using our drag-and-drop scheduling tool. Schedules are automatically sent to employees in the Buddy Punch app when they’re finalized.
2. Clocking in and out
Employees can clock in and out on their phones, or you can set up Buddy Punch on a central computer or tablet to create a shared time clock kiosk everyone can use.
3. Viewing timesheets
Buddy Punch compiles all clock-in and out data into timesheets that you can view on the admin dashboard. Hours and overtime are automatically calculated.
4. 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 before.
Stay on top of your team even when you’re not there
Early/late alerts
Get notifications for everything you need to know: when a team member clocks in/out early or late, when someone misses a shift, or when someone is getting close to overtime.
Geofencing
GeofencingPrevent team members from clocking in before they arrive at work or clocking out after they leave with geofences — virtual, location-based radiuses you create around your offices.
Photo clock-ins
Worried that employees are clocking in for one another? Set it up so they have to take a picture of themselves when clocking in/out. You can review those photos alongside punches anytime.
Advanced features for mechanics and auto shops
Flexible punching options
Set up Buddy Punch on a tablet or shared computer to create a central time clock kiosk, or have a supervisor clock everyone who’s working a shift in and out at the same time.
Job tracking
Create job codes for the different customers you’re doing work for. Employees select the appropriate job code, then you can see how many hours were worked on specific customers.
Smart scheduling
Employees can add their availability to Buddy Punch. Then, when it’s time to create a work schedule, you can see exactly who’s available to work every shift you need to cover.
Attendance tracking
The admin dashboard shows exactly who’s clocked in and who’s clocked out at any time, making it easy for you to keep track of attendance even when you’re offsite.
