52 Harvest Testimonials

"Harvest was a better way of keeping things real, understanding what I was spending time on and whether these jobs were as profitable as I was imagining them to be."

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

“In her infinite wisdom, You can have it all, just not all at once!’ Harvest forces us to think about time as a finite resource. We’ve become time management superheroes.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Creating an invoice through Harvest is very easy. It automatically pulls all expenses and hours related to any particular project, taking things away, adding things to it. It's very simple. What is also nice is that when people enter their hours, there's a place for notes. So I can be very specific with a client about what those particular hours were used for. That creates a lot less questions from the accounting end of our client.”

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

“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.”

"For me, it’s about understanding the scope of a project, how much time we’re spending on it, and the value of that 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."

"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."

"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!"
