WorkMax saves time & money
From meeting them at a trade show to the set-up, they never over-sold their product. It does exactly what they said it would do. It's been such an amazing enhancement to our work environment.
PROSIt more accurately captures time to each project than paper time cards, resulting in real-time costing information that improves project mgt and refines estimating future projects. It also eliminated laborious manual entry of data.
CONSTook a bit to set up but so worth it. Their customer support is phenomenal!
Reason for choosing WorkMax TIME
WorkMax was the only company that could capture (easily through tablets) mfg time and have it imported into Sage100 allocated to Jobs.

WorkMax
Our overall experience has been great. When we do have questions or issues they are resolved quickly.
PROSI like how easy it is to use administratively to process payroll.
CONSReally our only issue is having to do more with human error than anything. We have some employees that are not tech savvy so they take a little more coaxing to get them on board.
Reasons for switching to WorkMax TIME
Saw that WorkMax was an updated version from the same company that we know and trust.

WorkMax Time
The WorkMax team was wonderful! The app needs to be reworked-- the updates were hard to keep up with and caused many technical problems on their own.
PROSThe features were exactly what we were looking for regarding electronic timekeeping. Once our data/timekeeping requirements were added, the expectations were high. Their technical implementation team was awesome-- no limits to the quantity of time needed to set up. Their daily customer service team was also very helpful and resourceful --for both administrators and end users.
CONSThe app for mobile timekeeping was not impressive. I appreciated the numerous upgrades that WorkMax continued to install, but it caused a lot of downtime for real-time usage. Also, I believe, while there are a lot of good components, it just could not handle the volume of information we needed for timekeeping. Many of our issues on the dashboard and with remote users turned into a "this is the first time this has happened" scenario.
Vendor Response
Cheryl, Thank you for taking the time to leave a detailed feedback response with regard to your WorkMax experience. Honest feedback helps us make the improvements necessary to provide the #1 Mobile Resource Management software on the market. Thanks for recognizing our determination to provide the highest level of customer support available in the industry. We're giving our all as we continually strive to make WorkMax the product customers choose when digitizing their Time & Attendance, Forms and Logs and the Location and Condition of their tools. I believe most customers would agree that our recent "rework," now manages larger quantities of data much better, we hope this is your experience as well. Please accept our apology for providing a less than 5 star quality in all categories.

The time saved when completing payroll is greatly reduced!
We save time and money because of the software. All documents are clear and easy to read, allowing any/all entries made into accounting more accurate.
PROSThere are so many things that I like about the software, it's really hard to say. If I have to choose, I would say the ability to track time and location for each job our team is on. With GPS location, we know where everyone is. This is really useful when receiving a service call. We simply check and see who may be the closest to the location, therefore saving our customers from having to wait an extended period of time for their repairs. I also can't say enough about their customer service team. They are right on top of any issues that we may have. All you have to do is call or email, and they will take care of your issues straight away.
CONSThe only issue I can think of is with our trucks/mileage (which they are working on for me). When I enter charges for mileage, I need to know which of our trucks was used. The mileage shows up on the time sheets, but the truck does not. I then have to go back into the closed batches to see what was driven by that person. Fortunately, most of the team have assigned trucks, so this is not a huge issue.

Good product with even better support
Overall we have had a great experience. We have been testing in our California office and look to expand to other offices in 2020.
PROSThe support team is very responsive to issues as well as general use changes/requests. Training our field crew was quite easy with the intuitive iPad app.
CONSAs with any database program, we had to create some work-arounds for payroll processing/integration with our ERP system that were unforeseen in the beginning. Reports are lacking in WorkMax yet detailed data can be extracted using ConnectMax (which takes a higher level of database knowledge to execute).

WorkMax Time Sheets Web Interface and App
WorkMax's implementation and support teams are phenomenal, and the software engineers are close by if the support team needs additional answers. While there is no program that will ever cover 100% of a company's needs, as each one will have their own unique processes, WorkMax comes as close as we've ever found.
PROSThe app is fairly simple to use once you are trained on it. They are constantly updating and adding to the Time Sheets portion of the app and the support team and engineers listen and provide feedback on any issues or customizations we are seeking. The web interface will sync our new employees, jobs, cost codes directly from our accounting software (Sage 100 Contractor) into the online platform and to the foremen's app, eliminating the need for double entry. After processing the payroll information online that was synced from our foremen's phones or devices, WorkMax uploads directly into the Daily Payroll module of Sage 100 Contractor. It will track any differentials in pay, cost coding, or many other parameters you may have. It's highly customizable.
CONSThe Time Sheets portion of the app and web interface is a newer product. WorkMax started as a "clock in/clock out" program but that platform does not work well for our employees and our workflow (nothing to do with WorkMax). The app itself seems to be a work-in-progress, but is still a much better option than entering time cards by hand. There are a few of the settings on the app that I would like to have options to customize to our processes, but this is a complaint about the user interface, not about the collection of payroll data.

Overall Workmax Experience
Very good.
PROS*It has the facial feature recognition as well as GPS clock in / clock out coordinates. *Time is reported daily rather than weekly, and time is paperless rather than the traditional paper timecards. *A very versatile system. *Notes section helps capture many things, such as approvals for employees who forgot to clock in, notes the field employees need to send to the office, etc. *Easy imports and exports into accounting software.
CONS*Facial recognition features and GPS coordinates go away when time is allocated. *Once time is batched, you must un-batch it once again to see the facial feature recognition and GPS coordinates.
Reason for choosing WorkMax TIME
*It seemed to best fit the goals our company was trying to accomplish, and the system seemed the most user-friendly for our field employees.

There when we need them!
Overall, WorkMax is an easy to use app. The help we get when we run into issues, is awesome (Thanks to [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] - she really is the best!). The developers (shout out to [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]) have been very attentive to issues we have and suggestions we make!
PROSThe time capture with facial recognition and geo fence. This has helped with with our job site and time management. The usability of the forms is amazing. Being able to create and edit them has been a huge asset to us.
CONSNot being able to customize or build reports. While requesting or suggesting changes is easy, having to wait for them to be implemented is hard.

Excellent Program For Employee Time Management
Overall this piece of software has streamlined employee time management at our facility by eliminating manual entry. It has also provided live labor hours tracking on daily basis per project which helps in labor hour forecasting and optimization.
PROSApplication is very user friendly and easy to setup upfront. Reports are accurate and quick to export. Flexibility in subscription is value added feature.
CONSProcessing of time during batching and syncing between device to server can be improved.

We have worked through a number of glitches and overcame hurdles. The team has worked very hard.
The time and cost savings have been worth it.
PROSI like the flexibility and great potential of the product. The app provides an ease of use for all employees. It's a huge improvement over paper time sheets, and no more worrying with constant inconsistencies. The GPS tagging is also a huge plus. You can really manage time effectively.
CONSI don't like no having the ability to add or deduct days from the Time Sheet module. I would like to see the time records transfer all of the data over, including notes and custom fields. The sync process to Quickbooks has it's limits.

Easy decision
We wish we would have known about WorkMax earlier. It has been a big help to the guys in the field and processing in the office too.
PROSEasy to implement the program, easy for the users, easy to process time. It has already proved to be a time savings on the administration side. It yields better accuracy of job/time data too.
CONSWe assumed we would be able to "see" where all of our employees are clocked in (at any moment in time) due to their GPS locations. This was a feature that similar products had and we thought we would have that with WorkMax too.
Reason for choosing WorkMax TIME
Integration with Foundation was the primary reason but price was also an important consideration.

A Great Solution to Tracking Time
One of the biggest benefits of WorkMax is capturing the actual clock in and clock out of our employees. We are no longer filling out paper time sheets. Accurate time reporting has saved our company money.
PROSThis software is easy to use. You do not have to be a software guru to get your time entered or run reports. As an administrator it is easy to make needed edits and changes. The complete payroll process is easily handled and maintained from the control center. This program works nicely with Sage 300 Construction & Real Estate. One of my favorite features is the facial recognition. The customer support is absolutely amazing with WorkMax. Our onboarding process was handled by [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]. He has been so wonderful to work with. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] answered all of my questions and spent the time needed for me to be able to use the program on my own. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is our support specialist. She has also been amazing to work with. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is always patient when helping me with and issues that have come up. In my opinion, the Customer Support team is the best I have ever worked with. They are responsive, easy to get in touch with and work to solve the issues as quickly as possible. It is the Customer Support team that makes WorkMax the best time tracking software out there.
CONSSo far there is not anything I dislike about the software.
Reason for choosing WorkMax TIME
The facial recognition.
Reasons for switching to WorkMax TIME
The program was difficult to use. Sage does not provide quality customer support to its customers and was not interested in maintaining the software program.

Great company with solid products and helpful people
The software is easy to use. The customer support is helpful and knowledgeable. The training team made the process go fast.
PROSI was a long time user of About Time time keeping software, and switched to WorkMax last year. I like that WorkMax is web based. It is very similar to About Time, so my switch was relatively easy. They spent several sessions with me and walked me thru all the features and got all of my information from Quickbooks setup. It is easy for my field crews to move between jobs and select tasks for for those jobs. Their time is continuously sent to WorkMax, so I always know what is being done.
CONSI wish when jobs are imported from Quickbooks, that WorkMax would only import the tasks that were used to build the job in Quickbooks, so that job costing was maintained better between the 2 programs. There are work arounds, which I use that make this happen, but it adds an additional step.
Reason for choosing WorkMax TIME
Because of my long relationship with About Time Technologies.
Reasons for switching to WorkMax TIME
I wanted to move from a server based product to a web based product.

Amazing Software
We have had a wonderful experience using WorkMax time. It has allowed us to cut down on the processing time for payroll. It has also allowed us to produce more accurate reports for things such as job costing.
PROSOverall, I love working with everything WorkMax Time offers. our ability to track clock in locations have been crucial to making sure employees are using the correct job numbers. We have also benefited tremendously from the clock in photos. This has eliminated the issue of employees clocking in their friend when they are late or miss a day of work. As the employee who process time, I have been most thankful for the speed and efficiency I can complete our payroll with weekly.
CONSThe software can be a little overwhelming when you first begin the program. This is mainly because there are so many features and so much to learn to use at once but with time this issue resolves itself.
Reasons for switching to WorkMax TIME
The main reason we switch from exactime was because of the location service feature and the photo clock in and outs.

Issues
It is nice that the time comes over each day (if the syncing works!)
CONSWe have had many issues with this program. The app is slow and freezes up and drains the battery on the phones. Syncing does not always work and sometimes some employees have not gotten paid for all their time because the time would not sync. We have had issues with sending the time to Sage and in some instances our payroll was late because we could not get the time to send. The app also does not remember the last location even though we have it checked. This has been an issue as the employee will clock into a job and when they clock out do not notice that it has changed to a different job so when the time gets sent over it is sent as the job that was listed on clock out not clock in. We have been told that the next update will fix this but have not seen a fix yet.
