What is Buddy Punch?
Buddy Punch is a cloud-based employee time tracking and scheduling platform built mainly for U.S. businesses with hourly workers. Employees can clock in and out from a computer, mobile app, or shared kiosk using a PIN, QR code, or facial recognition, and Buddy Punch automatically converts punches into timesheets with regular hours, overtime, and pay calculated for payroll. It also offers GPS tracking and geofencing to confirm employees are on-site when they punch in, plus webcam photo capture to reduce buddy punching and time theft.
Beyond time tracking, the platform includes scheduling, PTO accrual and requests, job/project time tracking, and pre-built reports for payroll and attendance. It integrates with payroll and accounting systems such as QuickBooks, Gusto, and ADP, and offers enterprise options like SSO (Okta, OneLogin, SAML 2.0) and API access on its top tier. Buddy Punch reports over 10,000 business customers and positions itself as an easy-to-use, budget-friendly alternative to larger HR suites.
