About IDEAblox

IDEAblox is a time clock platform designed to help small businesses manage employees' PTO, working hours, payroll reports and more. Employees can utilize the application to clock-in or out and file absence requests for managers to approve and process.

Ins & Outs of Web-Based Time Clocks

Meets our very basic time tracking needs. The software user interface could use some polish

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

The Ins: As the HR coordinator & Payroll Admin for a small owner/operated business I really like the simplicity of the system AND the price. It was easy set up & get our team using the software. I appreciate that our front desk tablet can be used by employees to clock in/clock out; as well as all of the other things we use the table for (Square, etc). Unlike "When I Work" which requires a dedicated device for time clock.

Cons:

The Outs: I wish this were an app, rather than a URL website. I'd really like my employees to be able clock in/clock out from their mobile phones, as they work off-site regularly. Secondly, looking at current time cards is messy, there is no mid-day or break/lunch - rather multiple lines of time in/time out for the same work day. Here is where I am vague (and I apologize for that): the system seems clunky and almost too basic. It doesn't allow (easily at least) for employees to clock in for a specific job function or role.

Reasons for choosing IDEAblox

The price.

Reasons for switching to IDEAblox

Because their time clock function required a dedicated terminal. Just not practical for a company our size.

Exactly what we were looking for!

Time issues. It saves me time and some of my employees are not able to steal company time as easily as before since there is no reason for them not to clock in at the different locations as well as some other things.

Pros:

I like the price and the fact that both my locations can use it and I don't have to travel to both locations to get the time. I can see exactly who is clocked in and at what time. I can work on their time and time off from my desk throughout the month not just on payday so it doesn't take make it an all day affair.

Cons:

Their are a few kinks still to work out like the titles of my Holiday Sick and PTO etc when I download the time to the spreadsheet but I make do.

Reasons for switching to IDEAblox

Convivence and web based but just not any computer based.

Pros:

Easy to use and to figure out. Found out how to do everything on my own because it was so user friendly.

Cons:

I do wish it had a picture login option, but this would usually be implemented with a tablet. I had previously used a clock in app at a previous company where you checked in and it would take a photo of you when you checked in so no one could fudge or lie about their hours. Wish this software had it, but we use it on our desktop PCs and they don't have cameras so it's not really a big deal.

Ease of use

Pros:

IDEAblox allowed us to clock in and out of our small organization. That's essentially what we used it for and not much else. It made payroll organized.

Cons:

A great payroll feature is much more than clocking in and out. This is great for time but nothing beyond. These days it is important to have more HR components than just time.
