“Any type of new project—animation, for example, which is new—that can be potentially a big project in terms of hours, we’ll look at the postmortem of ‘predicted versus actual’."

“When I opened my company, I was trying to do things as seamlessly as possible and I knew how to use Harvest, and that whoever I was hiring would also find this extremely easy to use. So Harvest was one of the first applications that we knew we had to get to run a successful business.”

“The fact that you can just follow up with clients [with the automated reminders] is more of an incentive for them to pay us, as opposed to just emailing a PDF invoice. Payment gets fulfilled much quicker with this system we have set up with Harvest.”
“I think we kind of built our business a little bit around the utility of Harvest. Having the visualizations of data where you don't have to go and build reports has been super, super helpful. And using visualizations to see where projects are, who's on the projects, how much time is spent, and how much of the project budgets have been spent is super easy.”
“It’s awesome to see emails coming in from parents that have three or four kids with learning disabilities and hear that Provider Choice has really helped them. It’s just cool to know you’re helping people.”
“Something we see a lot is that especially non-technical co-founders, they really want to focus on growing a big business. They want to find a partner they can trust to own the product side of the business while they focus on sales and marketing and moving into overseas markets.”
"We always want to be using emergent technology and smart software, not just following the old standards of antiquated agency software and solutions."
"Harvest has fundamentally helped us diversify and scale our business and it's definitely made many of the things that were just necessary tasks of running an agency very easy."
"Harvest was very key to helping me start my company – it allowed us to move from a world of managing a lot of subcontractors to managing a staff quite easily."
“I use the reports to understand revenue recognition, across all our projects, and then the roll up for each client. I also use it to look at utilization of staff and time.”
"It seemed like all of those missing pieces we were looking for were part of Harvest, and over time, those features have evolved and become even more useful."
“In the past, I would walk the office and see my dev team and my project management team. I could see what they’re working on and get a sense of where the stress levels are. I can’t do that anymore.”
"Using Harvest and Forecast, we can see if a project is in danger of going off track and it gives us the ability to course correct those things way before they actually become problems."
