The hidden tax on hourly teams
Bad time tracking isn't free. It's just expensive in places you stopped looking.
The American Payroll Association estimates time-theft and payroll errors cost employers between 1.5% and 5% of gross payroll every year. For a 25-person team, that's tens of thousands quietly walking out the door.

How Buddy Punch is different
Easy enough for anyone to use. Strict enough to trust on payday.
Most time clocks force you to choose between simple-but-cheatable or powerful-but-painful. Buddy Punch is built around one idea: accountability without friction.
Accountability built in
GPS tracking, geofencing, IP locks, photos on punch, and facial recognition keep everyone honest — without micromanaging.
Punch from anywhere
Web, iOS, Android, or a shared tablet kiosk. Crews on a job site, remote staff, and front-desk teams all work the same way.
Scheduling that talks to the clock
Drag-and-drop schedules, shift trades, and auto-reminders — synced with time tracking so missed shifts surface instantly.
Payroll-ready in one click
Hours, OT, PTO, and breaks calculated automatically. Export to QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, Paychex, Workday, and more.
Six layers of proof every employee punch is the real one.
Buddy Punch stacks accountability features so you can pick the level of strictness that matches your team — from a simple selfie to facial-recognition with geofence enforcement.
- GPS location on every punch
- Geofencing — punch only on-site
- Webcam selfies on clock-in / out
- Facial recognition matching
- IP address locking by location
- QR code & PIN-restricted kiosks
