Arcoro HR vs. GoCo

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.

GoCo is a complete package that meets our needs for hiring onboarding and payroll processing. The platform is well suited for both hourly and salaried employees and allows for many options based on work schedules and PTO accrual. It is an intuitive platform and has increased our efficiency with payroll processing and benefits selection.

• Benefits enrollment! We've received compliments on how easy it is to enroll each year in benefits.
• New hire onboarding. All information is sent to new hires and they can seamlessly enter their information and read and sign all documents and agreements.
• For the most part, the reports are easy to configure and use.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• Handling exceptions for staff PTO requests for employees in their 90 day probationary period
• Ease of managing different hourly work week exceptions

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.

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 really like GoCo. There are a few things I wish could be improved and have talked with our rep about them. They are very receptive to ideas and have made changes based on some of my suggestions.

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.

GoCo has done a great job of being responsive to us in working through issues in the system.

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.

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 friendly as ExakTime

We really wanted an HRIS that also did benefits open enrollment. GoCo was able to provide both of those in one system. And, the open enrollment process is pretty slick for employees.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Productivity has gone up in the HR/Payroll department. GoCo has helped us streamline our processes, what used to take us three days to complete manually, we can now do in one day, leaving time to focus elsewhere.
• What used to take our campus administrators a day to approve time off requests (paper) it now only takes a click of a button and staff are notified immediately.
• Staff Self-service is huge as they can look up their own information quickly at anytime of the day.
