    I don't use the integration any more. Although it worked great, I needed the report on paper instead of the screen. I enter it into quick books manually.

    This integration is what we rely on to process our payroll and billing for our business

    Pros
    “I love that I can clock in and out from anywhere and helps me keep better track of my order and what is used on the job with descriptions and photos.”
    “The geofencing is a good feature. I like the GPS clock in locations and the ability to have descriptions of what the guys were doing.”
    “The Feature we love the most is tracking the total project cost hours vs the actual. It's a great incentive for our employees to work faster and smart.”
    Cons
    “Busybusy is very connection-dependent, meaning that it does not work well without WIFI and it seems that tracking is not possible when there is no internet connection.”
    “There is no way to tell if your employee's logged in from an app or on their computer at work. When they make mistakes I have to fix them on a daily bases.”
    “I hate how when I clock out it still keeps me clock in sometimes and I don't relise until the next day.”
