Excellent time keeping tool.

Payroll is simplified.

PROS

Very easy set up, features are very convenient and precise. Employees enjoy the convenience and payroll becomes a breeze.

CONS

Not many bad things about this product, perhaps GPS accuracy can be tweak a bit but I thin k that may have deal with devices being used on as well.

Vendor Response

Good Software that needs improvements

We use this software for my husbands small business. Overall, it's good value for the price, but definitely needs improvements. It has all needed for us functions: creating locations, clocking in and out, GPS.

PROS

It has all functions needed for our business: creating locations, clocking in and out, GPS. recent conversion to a cloud was a good change since it can be accessed from anywhere.

CONS

It's not very intuitive in use, doesn't always identifies locations correctly. It took us a while to figure out how to download timesheets in Excel format, and when I tried emailing the customer support, I got no response.

Vendor Response

Hello, We'd like to thank you for your honest feedback. It is always nice to see that the switch to a cloud based system makes things easier for companies to use. In the future if you have any questions or need assistance with anything, give us a call at 888-788-8463 so that one of our reps can assist you. Thank you again!

A time-keeping company that cannot keep time

PROS

It was easy to use. My employees liked it. Nobody likes keeping track of hours

CONS

I used this application for several years. GET THIS. IT PRODUCES DUPLICATE TIME ENTRIES ON A REGULAR BASIS!! This has created several very tense and embarrassing situations with my hourly customers. They said the error was on our end. We must have double synced the records to Quickbooks. To that I say why would you create code that allows that action to take place? What possible benefit is that?And when I called them to request the time records that were created when I was paying for the program, (so I could sort out the mess they had created with my customers-plural) they demanded $140 for those records. I switched to Tsheets which is much more reasonably priced and bonus--It actually produces accurate time records. Bottom line, if your selling accuracy and accounting programs, make sure they actually work.

Vendor Response

Hello Peter, We apologize for any frustrations experienced after discontinuation of services. We focus on resolving all concerns with our active customers to their satisfaction and are confident these issues are not occurring across our customer base.

It's very easy to log in and see who is where, and what they are doing

Quickly knowing who is where, and sycning records to QB

PROS

The interface is easy to use. I like the simplicity of adjusting time and making changes. For the most part the user interface is intuitive. The crew seems to like the independence and simplicity. For instance, if someone is picking up at a lumber yard to start the day they can clock in there, rather than waiting til they get the job site and using a hornet. Before they had to beg me to adjust their time...which was hard to remember. Everyone often forgot, but just a quick photo plus the geotracker component and I can see that they were, indeed, at the lumber yard.

CONS

There is a very big con, which is the lag time that occurs when using Linx software to move the Time Summit data into QB. When everything was l hard-drive based this was a seemless interface. Now, with the Linx being hard drive based and the Time being web based I have interminable delays. It's very very frustrating. There are other related problems too, such as before if I checked a box for time, but synced or uploaded to a different company, then the time would not go through. Now, the time goes through and gets put into QB for the wrong company. It's a problem.

we use it for our commercial roofing construction company.

PROS

I like the fact that it allows us the ability to clock in with ether cell phones for our service crews or onsite job clocks for our production crews.

CONS

We struggle with the reporting and separating of the jobs and tasks. our technicians in the service will work on several jobs through out the day and travel between each. our production crews will be on a single project working on several different tasks the difficulty is in getting reports to project managers.

Vendor Response

Hello Mike, Thank you for taking the time to review our services. I am glad that our mobile app has made clocking in easier for your crews.

Fairly Simple to Use

Overall, I like the system. I would like to see more versatility in the reports. There are tons of data recorded but not accessible. I would also like to see the data entry screens more compatible with traditional typist skills, specifically not having to take hands off the keyboard to move the cursor with the mouse.

PROS

It's easy to use and offers multiple ways for employees to record their time.

CONS

Data entry screens require mouse and keyboard use instead of allowing straight keyboard typing.

We use ExakTime for our time sheets

Once payroll has a handle on the software and has faith in the software. It does make payroll faster to process.

PROS

It integrates with QuickBooks. The reports that we use are vital to billing our clients since they are billed on a time and material basis. The ability to go back and look at individuals time sheets makes it easy to research any ones time worked.

CONS

There is a learning curve. It is not an easy process for individuals that are not computer literate. They do have good support staff.

Overall, very happy

Each employee is in full control of their own hours- no more blaming managements, or their foreman.

PROS

All of the features in the program itself are great. We like the geo-fence a lot for tracking where guys punch, and the selfie is great for accountability.

CONS

The software patches are glitch-y at times- as is the case with most patches. We have had issues almost every other month with some portion of the patch

Too Expensive

Not too bad; decided to move on because there was no price match per different company.

PROS

Easy to track employees on jobs per times.

CONS

Nothing really until my subscription came due and was going to double after paying the same rate for the last 3 years.

Reasons for switching to ExakTime

Too much money for a product that we can control the cost on. I tried working with ExakTime about keeping the price the same rate that we've always paid; they offered a discount but still couldn't even come close to the other company we chose to go with. We are a small business of about 5-10 employees and have seem multiple prices go up from COVID supply disruptions. I will be only spending about $400 this year with promotion on first year and then $600 the next year. ExakTime new subscription was going to be about $1400; 25% discount was the best they could offer. I offered them multiple times to price match as we know their program and like it. But I will train myself for a significant price reduction.

This app doesn't do much -causes alot of additional work later for me and the office. No integration

Not much other than it gave us something else to use besides paper of excel. Not really happy with the product or their approach to helping customers. Seems like a take it or shake it approach with them on support and product enhancements. Sales guy was all pressure and daily hammering on the phone until we bought, then crickets.

PROS

Its half a step better than paper. I like that they have mobile apps but they don't have much useful data other than punches.

CONS

No accounting or payroll integration. Data dump only. They like to do the sell and run. Never heard from the sales guy again and can't get real help from support.

ExakTime Reivew

We have been using the ExakTime system for a number of years. Our old way of keeping time records was having the guys write their daily times on timecards. At the end of our two week payroll, I would have to add up all the hours, which was very time consuming. Besides that, I felt like most of the guys were rounding their times to the next 15 minutes each way in their favor. By using the new system of ExakTime, we have reduced the amount of "fluff" time on each of our employees times. Another huge aspect of this system that we benefit from is for our Time and Material jobs. Its very easy to run a report at the end of the job and tally the exact time we spent on that particular job. I love the new upgrade with having our own website to log onto from any computer, tablet or mobile device. I'd recommend, and have, this software to anyone in the construction field!

PROS

Easy to use

CONS

The old system was slow running on my computer.

Very poor reliability and availability.

Every morning when I log into ExakTime I wonder if it is going to work. Too many times the system has been down or extremely slow. It always seems to happen the days I have to process payroll. This has been an ongoing issue since ExakTime switched to their cloud application. Nothing gets fixed. Nothing improves.

PROS

I like how their Tech Support people are trained to say "Sorry for the problems we are experiencing. We'll let you know when the system is working again."

CONS

Reliability and availability is atrocious. ExakTime is like a box of chocolates -- you never know what you are going to get.

Not happy based on my comments in the "Cons" section. Too much over promising and under delivering.

Electronic capturing of time records and eliminating ability to inflate their working time.

PROS

Easy for employees to use in the field but unhappy with our inability to use all of the reports because they are not based on our working day. Need to be able to adjust the 24 hour clock so that it is not based on a calendar day of 24 hours.

CONS

The software does not allow us to run reports based on our worker's schedules. We need to be able to adjust the hours of what is considered a day. Right now it resets at midnight but that is not how we operate. I was told in July that this feature would be added in the next 90 days. We are now almost 10 months into using the program and the feature still has not been added. If this is not resolved in the next 30 days, I will begin to look for another option rather than renew.

ExakTime is a fair value for the money.

PROS

The ability to quickly add employees to the system is nice since they chanced to a subscription model.

CONS

Limited features and VERY limited customization options. The program is what it is, and you need to make your business work around it. The worst part of this is that employees can't see how many hours they've worked from the phone app. It would be nice for employees to see their hours at the very least, and possibly even get alerts at set increments.

I have had the mobile time app for about 2 years now and absolutely love it. Have tried at least 3 other time keeping apps, some are free and some have very minimal cost and those do not compare to ExakTime. I can always get help, its easy to understand and easy for my guys to use. Don't remember how I lived without it!

Pros & Cons on virtual Time Clock

We are still in a learning phase on this program so it's hard to give an comprehensive review

PROS

App is easy to download, setup and use. I like that you can see at a glance all the job locations and where the employees are clocked in at any given time.

CONS

I don't like that the employees can force close the app which dismantles the option for geotracking. Also, not everyone remembers to log out at the end of the day. I would like to see a pop-up reminder after they clock out to do this.

Vendor Response

Hello Elizabeth, Thank you very much for your honest review. We like to hear that the app is easy to use so that employees are not spending a majority of their day trying to figure out how to clock in. While a pop up reminder is not an available option at this time, we'd love to have one of our techs go over the best ways to review the time records so that you can be made aware when an employee has forgotten to clock out.

Exaktime Review 2022

Exaktime allows employees at different sites to clock in and out, which allows us to track cost codes connected to each of our jobs, thus saving us time on the accounting dept.

PROS

I like how easy it is to set up new employees with Exaktime. I like that Exaktime is user-friendly and their customer service responds quickly.

No t as hands-off as we were led to believe

We unfortunately will not be using ExakTime mobile anymore. When we purchased it, we were led to believe that it would allow the timesheets to be submitted directly to the payroll company with minimal interference from the office. This is not the case. If employees take time off, they are expected to either clock in and out after 8 hours (not practical when someone is on vacation) or write a note and have the bookkeeper manipulate the sheet to submit to the payroll company. We were also having integration issues adding new jobsites from the field for the employees to log into. It would often take hours for the job to appear on everyone's phone, even though we were syncing manually and automatically. There are also differences between the IOS and Android versions, which made it necessary to go in and manipulate individual phones. It ended up being more work for the office staff, which is directly against the problem we were trying to solve. The final straw for us was that it took us a 5 weeks to figure all this out, missing the money back window by a week. Even after explaining our position, we were still denied even a partial refund. Overall this has been a poor experience for us, though this is the second ExakTime product we used.

PROS

GPS monitoring

CONS

Not without the same amount of office time required management that a simpler paper system would require. Each timesheet still required manipulation, which was disappointing and not the time saving software we were led to believe it was.
