History

Buddy Punch was born in 2012 when Eric Czerwonka, running a franchise with three locations, spent many hours driving around to collect timesheets and found that punches were illegible and employees were 'buddy punching' on behalf of absent friends. He teamed up with long-time friend and engineer Nick Murphy to build the first version of Buddy Punch, a web-based app designed to simplify and automate employee time tracking and stop time theft without the need for any hardware. This was the year Buddy Punch was officially launched. From 2013 to 2020, Buddy Punch stayed simple yet relevant, adding features based on customer needs, including scheduling, mobile apps for easy punch-in and punch-out, GPS verification, geofencing, Photo/Face ID clock-ins, and payroll-ready reporting. From 2020 to present, Buddy Punch has helped 10,000+ organizations with time tracking, workforce management, and employee scheduling, and is top-rated in its category based on customer reviews on platforms such as G2 and Capterra.
