Replicon TimeBill Software

Pros

I love the ability to easily track my work time, request PTO, and enter in expenses for reimbursement.

Cons

Occasionally needs a refresh to get the system to remember what you've saved or submitted for approval. Overall great!

Pros

Very easy to use with minimal bells and whistles because you don't need them. Tracking my hours and requesting time off is a breeze.

Cons

I wish the sign in was easier and they made it so that you don't have to type in the company name in a required field.

Pros

- Time sheets and time off are in the same platform
- Easy to Use
- Easy to track and see my time off
This tool makes it easy to see where employees are spending most of their time among different projects and tasks. This information is beneficial for an employer to evaluate employees' efficiency and effectiveness and assess which tasks and projects require more manpower.

Cons

We use Procore and Replicon does not communicate with Procore.
Otherwise, I have had no issues with the program.

Pros

Ease of usage. It seems that it will be easy to use. It will, however, take some getting used to. I like the fact that I will be able to put in my hours for each day.

Cons

The directions were not always clear. I had to look around and use trial and error several times. Would you please make directions and instructions more detailed?

It met our company's needs by providing an accessible online tool (computer and mobile phones) to quickly capture time worked on projects; it allows our employees to differentiate time worked on billable projects vs. overhead, etc. Replicon's TimeAttend quickly produces reports that show paid time off (used and available), overview of hours worked each pay period by employee, etc.

Pros

I have no complaints about Replicon's TimeAttend. It's SO VERY easy to use, that I could have taught myself! However, there is a "Help" link to learn more about it if I wish. Replicon allows me to enter my hours worked on a daily basis, approve/submit once per pay period, and see when my manager has approved my time work. It also allows me to request vacation with very little effort. I can request less than a full day, and opt to add a reason. It permits me to request multiple days off with one effort -- unfortunately, not all Time & Attendance systems provide that option even if two vacation days are consecutive. Replicon also provided us a brief "trial" that permitted me to test it to see firsthand the ease of use, how easy it was to provide the approval as a supervisor, submit my own time worked, etc.

Pros

No hassle, I don't have to spend a lot of time to figure it out. Easy to plan time and have it approved.

Cons

Not always as intuitive as it could be, has a habit of going back to the default option even when it's no longer relevant.

It did everything we needed and then some. If we didn't move to SAP, it would still be our solution.

Pros

It's intuitive, easy to use, and you can pretty much adapt it to any workflow. They also have easy to configure features. The setup and service people make you go, wow.

Cons

The cost, but the value is there. Really I saw very few shortcomings in the software, it did everything we needed and then some.

Pros

Able to customize time off categories and reports. Handles all my needs. Comprehensive, knowledgeable support available when needed. Much less expensive per user than other programs I have reviewed.

Cons

Monday mornings are sometimes slow posting times. Sometimes it takes longer to get the system to respond when in heavier demand.

Pros

We have used Replicon for many years. Just migrated to Gen3. Very User friendly, easy reporting, great support team with the ability to create customized reports. Great value for the price.

Cons

We were previously on the Gen2 platform and had a few needs that were not met. However, the upgrade to Gen 3 solved all of our problems. No cons.

This is definitely a time saver for both my self and my staff.

Pros

It is easy to use and the technical support is outstanding. I implemented the software in 3 weeks for 16 employees and I received excellent support during this time. 24/7. My staff has had no trouble with the system and enjoy clocking in and seeing their hours worked by mobile device.

Cons

I wished there was a way to pay for service yearly on an average number of employees who work. There are times when an employee only works one day during a three month period and I am billed for the entire time.

Easy to keep track of client invoicing, particularly ones with multi-projects and tasks.

I currently only use a small portion of the Replicon package at this stage and haven't had any issues yet. When I do have any problems they are always minimal and easily solved via the helpdesk chat box.

Pros

We recently migrated to the latest version and as I'm not technologically savvy I was worried about learning new things. However, I've found it very user-friendly and the migration team were always there to hold my hand throughout. I have needed to use the Help Desk chat box a few times for various questions and have always found them prompt, friendly and very efficient. They make my life easier! Thank you.

Project controls management

Pros

Expenses through the Replicon app is quick! Overall, both app and website, expenses are easy to follow. Multiple combined entries such as for per-diem has been good. Expenses has been accurate, being consulting firm, we have been using it routinely.

Cons

Something automatically linked to show the expenses are paid in employees' account will be good instead of each person clicked on reimbursement processed or not.

Pros

The ease of flexible design is very effective. Additionally, the end user experience is simple and clean with a very efficient user interface.

Cons

The Time Off module in particular with Holidays has some limitations that cause us difficulty with shift worker schedules.

Pros

Our research revealed, compared to other systems, this would be a great value for the money. The availability of customer support 24/7 was also a deciding factor.

Cons

It would be helpful it there was a training facility in the metropolitan WDC area. I find some functionalities not very intuitive.

Efficiency, accuracy, information

Pros

The customer support is unparalleled. I know when I have an issue, I will get help within a day and always solves my issues.

Cons

I have not experienced something that I like least. I wish I could do mass cleanup with ease but I am sure I just do not know the full functionality of the program.

Ease of scheduling taking less time to do it. Able to fine tune our cost structure due to the instant knowledge of the daily labour cost of a project

Pros

The ease of report generation allows us to track our labour cost per project much closer than we ever have. Scheduling 300 people, and replacing people on the schedule, is much easier than our previous spreadsheet method.

Cons

The implementation process was extremely frustrating and took much longer than it should. In tow separate implementations, the project manager changed part way through the process. The project managers don't appear to be very knowledgeable about the client needs. For example, we had to do all of the research for holiday pay rules by province. This is something that should be baked into the system. For expense reporting, we had to do the research for the sales tax formulas. We would also prefer paying on a monthly subscription basis as we do with most other software, however Replicon requires an annual payment up front.

I was at the implementation of the Replicon, we are using Timehseet modul (with Payroll, Invoicing(, Expense modul Time off modul). We are using it for collectiong monthly timesheet hours and send it to our customers for the approval, we are using it for invoicing to the clinets, for preparation of the reports for salaries, for stimualtions that our consultants get based on the invoiced hours they wrote in the Replicon. Ozur consultants are also managing their expenses in Replicon, where me as Project office manager approved them in I see, what we have to invoice also to the clinets. Our consultants also carry in their time off, which we are also managing entirely through Replicon. Our Management are Supervisors and they are approving timesheets weekly from their consultants. Replicon really helped us managing and improving the visibility over the company work, budgeting and efficiency. I am also preparing monthly the profitabilit reports for our projects that we are managing, through different reports that I get from Replicon.

Pros

It covers most of the things we need as a company in our business, that we are efficient.

Cons

When I want to put some hours of our consultants from one project to another after it was already invoiced, I have to delete these invoice, so I can open timesheet and put hours on some other project, because the consultant made a mistake when he/she was writing hours in it.

Advice to Others

Maybe there could be one of the reports, where all the parameters could be included, just one. Because now it depends, which report template you choose, so you get just some of the parameters that are on the invoice. One reports could have all the parameters included.

Roc installed Replicon in July 2014 - we currently use it in 2 countries (4 Offices) - it is very easy for the staff to use and produces great reports

Pros

Ease of use

Cons

Learning how to write the reports

Advice to Others

I would advise that the buyer ascertain exactly what they need before setting Replicon up - it's a very responsive system and they really need to know the outcome they need - As with all systems if it is not set up properly then it will fail - remember Lady Lovelace's words penned in 1840 " the Difference Machine can only do what it is told to do!"

Be best thing about Replicon was the implementation team. They were prompt and knew the system well. The functionality of the mobile app is very lacking. Increased functionality of the mobile app or cloud clock would increase the usability.

There also needs to be additional sorting functions from within the schedule, team, payroll and reports tabs. There are often times I find myself wanting custom fields but they are very difficult to sort by.

Custom fields pose a problem for reports as well.

Pros

Cost

Cons

The lack of function of the cloud clock, mobile app and reports.

Advice to Others

Fully understand the capabilities or lack of before moving forward with the product. It is extremely important to get clear answers on anything you must of the software do for you before you move forward.

Every day use is easy. Reports are good. Customer support is good. Cost is a little high as we do not use all of the functions available.
