Ideablox Rocks

PROS

Ideablox is user friendly and has many options. I love that it tracks time off and that there are different options for the type of time off that is requested. You can also personalize it to meet your specific needs. It is an accurate way of tracking time and you can access it from any computer if you choose to do so, or you can make it only accesible to certain IP addresses.

CONS

I haven't found anything yet that I do not like.

Reason for choosing IDEAblox

OMS Vision didn't give me all of the options I needed.

Reasons for switching to IDEAblox

Because old fashion time cards suck! They always get lost and were just a hassle.

Ins & Outs of Web-Based Time Clocks

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

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.

Reason 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.

TimeBlox Clocks Erroneous TImes Almost Always

PROS

It functions to clock in and out of work.

CONS

Almost every time I punch in or out, the time is off by up to three minutes before or after the actual time I am punching in. I see no reason why this should need to happen, as previous software I have used was accurate down to the second. It makes it difficult for staff and for HR to keep track of time when it looks like your break was up to six minutes longer than it actually was, and you have to leave notes asking for times to be corrected every time you clock in or out. I also found the request time off function to be unhelpful as it never tells you if time off was approved. Overall a regularly frustrating experience.

Easy to use, great for the cost

We had an issue with our point of sale software's built in time clock function. There is a limited number of instances of the software that can be used at one time...this posed an issue for us with our business layout and different department structures. Having an online option solved our issues immediately.

PROS

Ease of use, cost is very manageable. Each employee managing their own clock-ins with the ability to have a memo feature if there are any issues or they forgot to clock in our out is very nice. They used to have to manually tell management for a fix, and that wasn't efficient at all.

CONS

It would be nice to have report options on "inactive" employees.

no more headaches

I absolutely love this software. I no longer have to calculate and take a long period of time trying to figure out the times that were not added, or staff complaining about co workers taking longer for their breaks. all over its a win -win. I absolutely tell all my colleagues about it.

PROS

I could round off time and my staff is more likely to be in the office on time. I no longer have my staff take office time for their personal time.

CONS

I don't have any cons currently. i feel the system is awesome!
