52 Harvest Testimonials

"We’re pulling mobile away from being just a phone and placing it at the heart of a much larger system.”

"It helps us be transparent. I can provide clients with incredibly detailed lists of exactly what happened using an export from 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.”

“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’."

"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 always want to be using emergent technology and smart software, not just following the old standards of antiquated agency software and solutions."

"To look back at previous projects and see how long tasks took helps us provide an accurate estimate for new projects."

“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.”

“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."

“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.”

“I think the thing we feel best about is our original goal, which was to create this agency where the quality of the work was the number one priority and not just become a machine that’s executing things for clients."

“Harvest is a good reference tool to understand as we get projects of similar size or scope looking back historically to say, ‘Okay, how did we do on a project like this before?’'."

“How do you capture that experience of being in the bakery with its sights and smells into a website? It’s a completely different media. But that was what we did—we ultimately tried to put the image style, the colors, the interface to give you that multi-sensory feeling. The feedback from the founder was that after all these years and countless versions of the website, someone had finally got it right. That’s an example of what we hope to achieve in terms of capturing people’s essence.”
