The Best Time Tracking Software for Project Managers
Streamline time tracking, project planning, and job costing with Buddy Punch. Our time tracking software is easy to use, affordable, and built for project managers.
Time tracking features for project managers
With Buddy Punch, you get a precise breakdown of how many labor hours are being spent on each part of your projects, helping you monitor budgets, analyze profitability, and invoice accurately.
Tracking hours
Whether you’re working with employees of your company, employees of companies you’re contracting with, or independent contractors, Buddy Punch makes tracking hours easy.

Buddy Punch can be used on any device with an internet connection. Office workers can clock in and out on their computers. For in-person workers, create a time clock kiosk using an iPad or Android tablet. Field workers can clock in and out using their mobile phones.
Job costing and project tracking

Buddy Punch’s job costing time clock makes it easy to track exactly how much time workers spent on specific projects or clients. When workers clock in, they choose the applicable job code from a dropdown list, then you can run reports showing exactly how many labor hours to charge your customers for.
Download time tracking reports showing exactly how much time was spent on your different jobs, clients, or tasks to ensure you’re within budget, track project progress, and send accurate invoices.
Time theft prevention

GPS tracking features in Buddy Punch let you keep track of field employees as they move from location to location. You can log their locations when they clock in and out to make sure they were at the right location, and you can also track their locations in real-time throughout the workday.
Want to prevent time theft acts like offsite punching and buddy punching? Require that workers take a selfie when they clock in and out, or set up IP address locks (office workers) or geofences (field workers).
Overtime tracking and prevention

Buddy Punch’s overtime tracking software tracks overtime hours based on your overtime policies and automatically calculates overtime pay for you. Want to avoid paying overtime? Set up notifications that will alert you when employees are nearing overtime so you can adjust their schedules.
Attendance tracking

Get push or email notifications when workers clock in late, clock out early, or miss a shift entirely to stay on top of attendance even when you’re not all working at the same location.
Project management integrations

With Buddy Punch’s Zapier integration, you can send your timesheet and job costing data directly to project management tools like Monday.com, Asana, Zoho Projects, and more to consolidate all of your project data.
Multi-language interface

Buddy Punch is available in both English and Spanish. When workers open the Buddy Punch app, they can click the flag displayed to switch their default language from English to Spanish. When they do, all labels and text inside of the app will be translated into Spanish for them.
How Buddy Punch simplifies project scheduling

Build, publish, and update project schedules in minutes with our schedule maker. You can assign contractors or employees to work in specific roles, on specific tasks/projects, and at specific locations.
Project contributors can view their schedules anytime in the Buddy Punch app, and they can get email or push notifications when new schedules are published.
How Buddy Punch expedites payroll

Buddy Punch compiles all employee clock-in and out data into timesheets for you. Regular hours, overtime hours, and pay are all calculated automatically.
