Blip!

BrightHR

About this app

Blip is a free app for BrightHR customers. It lets you easily track your employees’ work hours and locations on the go. Here’s how it works:


Geolocation

Use the app to create a geofence—a virtual boundary—around your workplace. Then, when your employees enter or leave the geofence, Blip picks up their location and asks them to clock in or out, helping you to know exactly where your staff have worked and how long for.


QR codes

Alternatively, you can use Blip’s smart scanning system to record your employees’ work hours instead.

Your staff use Blip to scan a QR code—a type of barcode—when they arrive and leave work. Then, each time they scan the code, Blip will register them as clocked in or out. It’s that simple.


Breaks

Blip makes it easy to track breaks, too. At the tap of a button, your staff can log the start and end of their breaks, so you can see how long and how often they take downtime.


How Blip helps you:

- Check your employees’ work hours and track their location in an instant.

- Keep an eye on your employees’ breaks and make sure they’re getting enough downtime.

- Change an incorrect shift or break time in a few quick taps.

- Create multiple locations and easily track where your employees have worked.

- View a full history of an employee’s work hours and filter the date range easily.

- Export the work history for an individual or team and save it as a spreadsheet for your records.

Ratings and reviews

A shared dashboard version would be great for businesses where there is a no phone policy. A communal tablet (perhaps on the wall next to the exit) where staff could click their name, enter a pin / password and then click sign in / out. Other rota / clocking apps have this functionality so it'd be good to see it available for Blip! users. The app as it stands doesn't really work for us right now.

Huge connectivity issues making it impossible to use properly. No matter if you use mobile data or wi-fi, issues are there. This app cannot even be compared to other, similar apps. Idea and appearance are good, but the app is next to useless.

It's alright, not being able to clock out after you've left the zone is really silly, so if you forget to clock out you have to remain clocked in till you get back to work the next day, clock out and request a shift adjustment. The app seems to be down a lot, not letting the entire team clock in for 2 hours, not opening at all etc. I enjoy the structure of it, being able to time your breaks and such is good but there's more negative than positive about the app personally.
