ATLVS vs. Homebase

COMPVSS vs. Homebase: the production field app vs. the small-business hourly toolkit.

Homebase is tuned for the small hourly employer: build the week's schedule, run the time clock from a tablet, post an opening, run payroll from the same place. For a shop or cafe that is the whole stack, and Homebase publishes payroll as a first-class product. A production org's week looks different: the workplace is a site that did not exist last month, the roster surges and shrinks per show, and the valuable record is not just hours but what happened, the incident, the punch item closed at 02:00, the case that left the truck. COMPVSS is built around that record.

Bottom line

For a single-location hourly business that wants scheduling through payroll in one simple stack, Homebase is a sensible pick. For crews on temporary sites, COMPVSS is the field record built for the churn.

Where We Win.

Built for workplaces that move

Homebase assumes a location; its published pricing is shaped around one. COMPVSS assumes a site that changes per production, with the shifts, gates, custody and incidents scoped to it.

The record outlives the site

When the site is struck, the daily logs, incidents, punch history and custody chain stay on the org record the console reads. That is the part a time clock cannot give you.

Crew join in minutes

Invite or org code, install the PWA, punch. Organizations themselves are set up once in LEG3ND on the web, so the field app stays simple.

When Homebase Wins.

We're not the right call for every room. These are the cases where they are.

You run a shop, cafe or single-location service business and want scheduling, time and payroll in one inexpensive stack. That is Homebase's published core.
Hiring is a constant: you want job posting and applicant tracking living beside the schedule.
You specifically want the built-in payroll product rather than an export to your own provider.

Migration Path.

For teams moving from Homebase.

Export Homebase employees, schedules and timesheets as CSV; they map to COMPVSS crew, shifts and time entries
Close out the current pay run in Homebase payroll; start the next period on COMPVSS punches exported to your payroll provider
