Chose Arcoro HR
Looked at our current software provider's timekeeping application, prior to purchasing ExakTime. Ease of use and time capture is what sold me on ExakTime.
Chose Arcoro HR
Nothing to compare to at this time.
Chose Arcoro HR
This is the first product like this that we've used. We've been using ExakTime for several years now, and I can't imagine going back to manual entry! I also wouldn't think there's any comparable product on the market that allows as much customization or would be as user …
Chose Arcoro HR
before the ExakTime mobile app everything was done via email or hard copy papers. This app was the first one that company attempted to implement and went off without a hitch. The app was so easy to use there was no need to search the market for another time tracking software.
Chose Arcoro HR
Although Asana works well for offices that focus primarily on office management, it would not be a user-friendly tool for those who are on job sites and traveling to different locations on a daily basis.
Chose Arcoro HR
Because of requiring the face photo, ExakTime was more secure than most of the time trackers we had considered before.
Chose Arcoro HR
Have not used a different time keeping system.
Chose Arcoro HR
Similar in features, we have since moved benefits to paylocity because we are streamlining everything through one service provider.
Chose Arcoro HR
They were my third choice because they would work with QB. Love the reminder to clock in and out that woould be usefull. Open the Time Clock window in the app.Select a job or task, Select Clock In, Select Clock Out when you’re done for the day. I did not like the layout.
Chose Arcoro HR
NEOGOV and GOSKILLS offers relevant preloaded courses that are of interest to our employees. The reporting ability is also more user friendly and the appearance of both platforms is better.
Chose Arcoro HR
I used a software called Kronos, but it was actually for clocking in a warehouse where everyone is stationary. ExakTime is better suited for my particular field because we have multiple locations. I have also used ADP, but I prefer ExakTime because it is bundled with all the …
Chose Arcoro HR
I haven’t seen the app version of jobber. It’s a great fit for us from what I have seen. But haven’t changed because I am okay with Exaktime.
Chose Arcoro HR
Busy Busy did not track equipment hours. ExakTime tracks them, but the reporting is challenging when trying to combine labor hours and equipment hours in the same report.
Chose Arcoro HR
Arcoro HR has a better ATS for posting jobs to multiple locations
Chose Arcoro HR
Acoro is really great and stacks well in the industry. There really isn't any other ATS system out there that works with contractors and other different industries which makes it tailored really well into the field. It centralizes around different scopes that employees and …
Chose Arcoro HR
We still use Sage, and ExakTime is compatible with it, which is why we went with ExakTime. So technically we use both at this time.

ExakTime is a great pairing with Sage since Sage does not have any applications that let employees clock in and out. So we use ExakTime for that …
Chose Arcoro HR
ExakTime provides a great solution to timekeeping especially with the mobile app. The conference calls we had prior to purchase were constructive and very informative. ExakTime's sales team was more than willing to answer our questions. Our biggest concern was how were we …
Employee Navigator
Chose Employee Navigator
We have found Employee Navigator to be much more user friendly not only to admin staff but to employees as well. Reporting is much simpler. We can find reports and get accurate information easier.
Chose Employee Navigator
[Employee Navigator] knocks them out of the park and honestly isn't even in the same category as far as what it offers. In comparison Navigator is Windows 10 and Beacon is still on a dot matrix system.
Chose Employee Navigator
Qualtrics is another big name in the space and was something I have a little experience with as a user. It does offer many of the same features, however, the user interface leaves a bit to be desired. Overall, we chose Employee Navigator for the employee experience and ease of …
Chose Employee Navigator
Most of the systems I've used for HRIS systems have been part of the payroll system. What stands out with Employee Navigator is the ability to key your benefit changes into one place, and all vendors are notified of the updates -- no more logging on to three or more sites to …
Chose Employee Navigator
Employee Navigator allows us to customize the users experience and build in options that fit our business/clients needs
Chose Employee Navigator
We eventually moved to a full HRIS solution with UltiPro. EN does the benefits and ACA portions of HR better but it is priceless to have an integrated and full solution.

Likelihood to Recommend
For my industry, ExakTime is incredible. The geo fencing, and clock-in locations and job types works incredibly well. I am likely to recommend because I have and I do recommend it constantly to others in my industry. I would say the only reason more people are not trying is it, is because they are of an older generation and using a virtual program can be daunting.

Employee Navigator is well suited to introduce the beginning of an HRIS to the organisation. There are excellent features for management to keep track of employee numbers and assets. Employee Navigator is not so well suited as an employee hub. I think the next step here would be to evolve into a directory service that users can use to look up their coworkers' strengths and other work-related attributes.

Pros
  • GPS Location tracking for open project locations.
  • Clock in and out for all employees.
  • Downloading weekly reports for Touch Detail.

  • Open Enrollment: It is easy to set up and a smooth process for the employees.
  • Benefits Management: We used it to manage overall benefits, which helped a lot with billing and reconciling.
  • ACA Compliance: We use it to track our lookback period as well as to file at year-end.

Cons
  • It would be a nice feature if employees could add photos of their progress on jobsites
  • The GPS could be a bit more exact for tracking employees
  • The reports page online is not the most user friendly page. It seems dated.

  • We are relatively new users of Employee Navigator but so far haven't really run into anything that has been an issue.

I don't have any major problems with Exaktime so I do not see a reason to switch to something else. All the bugs and learning curves have been worked out so move to another company will take too much time of which we do not have. I have become an Exaktime expert and don't trust another software that guarantees geofencing timekeeping.

Usability
ExakTime is very intuitive and easy to use in some cases. From an ExakTime Mobile perspective, it is very simple and easy to use. The Clock In/Clock Out screen is intuitive and easy to learn. Similarly, the ExakTime Connect side is very smooth and simple for Time Card Detail viewing and Report usage, but it is sadly lacking in User Experience in Scheduling.

I have had problems outside of normal business hours and I get a return phone call from them pretty quickly. There has only been I think 1 instance that I waited for too long to be able to fix my situation.

So far, we have had very little reason to call in to Employee Navigator support. Our team who works with them have found it easy and simple to work with them when needed. They aren't able to work on much or divulge how the system works internally, nor what's on the roadmap, but it is still helpful to have timely confirmation.

Implementation Rating
Gave a notice to all
employees to come to work 15 min early on the day planned to implement the
program. I had Spanish and English signs
on how to down load the program and log in I showed them ALL how to log in and
out and explained that they are responsible for reporting accurate time. I had them all sign a policy that lunch
breaks were mandatory for all employees
at least 30 min per day. This ensures
safety on the roofs. We had a few people
who did not have passwords to the app store and we had a few problems with
android phones but most of them were on their way quickly. Most not happy about the change but I hope
they see the benefit of it now.

Return on Investment
  • Improved payroll accuracy and employee time breakdown by type of work, greatly reducing the manual data tracking and time spent by employees on such tracking. More time for actual work!
  • Employees can interact via field notes while on the job, providing revisions to data entered if appropriate. Improves administrator efficiency as well.
  • Reports significantly improve time tracking, positively effecting job costing recordkeeping and evaluation.

  • Very positive impact on the employees -- open enrollment is a breeze! No more paper, and the dependent information is already there, they just have to make updates.
  • From the employer side, you can print off the changes and key them into payroll -- everything is in one place, and so easy to use.
  • The CFO is happy with the no cost, and less downtime with people asking about benefits.
