More than 100,000 small businesses use Homebase to track time, build schedules, and pay their teams. Here's what they say.

"The managers review the time sheets just to make sure they make sense and there weren't any errors or missed clock-ins, clock-outs, any adjustments that need to be made. And then I give it a final check. That takes me anywhere between 20 and 40 minutes to do that every two weeks."

Fred Sztabinski, Fix Coffee + Bikes

"We use Homebase scheduling and clock-in / clock-out to track employees' time — and it has payroll built in. For me, I want to have everything in just one platform."

Roberto Bustillos, Lombard Doggy Daycare

"Homebase's time clock takes a picture of the employee when they clock in. It gives me something that's reliable that I can trust. I can track employees even when I'm not always at the store."
