52 Harvest Testimonials

“I think Harvest is helpful because it does a lot of the organization and the work for you. I come from a charter management organization background where we're literally sending out timesheets and asking people to sign them — it's a very involved process. And with Harvest, a person can simply go into the system and log their hours and it's all seamless within the process.”

“I clocked in under my 10,000th hour last year with Harvest — so we've nerded out on Harvest for a long time. And we've really seen it evolve with our company and now we have it where it's really simple and we can build in a lot of automation.”

“It is a rule — an unbroken rule — that every project manager looks every day into Forecast and make sure that there’s no red.”

“It’s not because the tools don't exist, it's because the lawyers are unwilling to invest the time and the energy into learning how to use them. It's a profession that has always been really resistant to technological change. And I think it's because very few lawyers have any kind of technical background. They're sort of disinterested in technology and computers. I don't actually think it's because they're too busy. I just think it's a problem of priority.”

"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."

“Time tracking has helped us understand that we (and our clients) don’t realize how long it takes to design great work.”

"Harvest is our anchor. It’s the one we don’t ever have to worry about, which is really peace of mind for us. It’s that one application, and we use lots of them, that we can always depend on."

“The program we used offered a lot more features and settings. Though, in the end, it wound up being overly complicated to navigate all of those features, many of which were unnecessary.”

“We handle general reporting on a weekly and monthly basis. We have weekly gut checks on our project burns and forecasting profitability going forward. We love the filters available under reporting, i.e. custom reporting options. Most of our reporting reviews are internal, but we’ve recently started sharing the PDF views of reports with clients, which we’ve received positive feedback on in terms of clarity and legibility.”

“Using Harvest has helped us become more proactive as a team. When timesheets are easy to enter, we have good data to work with. Everyone has a clear picture of how a project is progressing and can see problems before they happen – allowing us to respond and be more profitable without sacrificing creativity.”

“I think that’s the true value of the platform. If you’re able to get people to think more holistically about the data, then they can effectively manage the teams better and they can manage morale, they can manage culture, they can manage the balance between work and play.”

"Tracking time allows us to see where we’re spending our time and resources. Some of the programs are more resource-strapped, so we get together and look at where to allocate time, and money, and where to cut back."

"It’s not only an incredibly useful tool, but it actually made us enjoy keeping track of our time!"

“We are heavy users of the start/stop button. It’s easy and makes our tracking accurate.”

“It’s just easy to get people set up, so that they’re tracking time immediately. I haven’t seen anything that would be better.”
