Fareclock

Fareclock develops and operates cloud-based employee time-attendance software. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Fareclock is based in Baltimore, Maryland. Their site is fareclock.com.

Our checklist for this category: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with Fareclock, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
