"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."
"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."
“Our work on the ground is really to infuse K-12 computer science into the learning experiences of all teachers and students, and ensure that it reaches every community in the United States — that your ability to access computer science education and your learning outcomes, your ability to really create with computing should not be limited by your zip code or the income of your parents, or the ability of a parent to actually know the space and teach you at home.”
“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.”
"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."
“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.”
“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.”
“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 important for the team to understand where they are on projects. So we establish a budget on every single project and use Harvest to keep track."
"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."
“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.”
"To look back at previous projects and see how long tasks took helps us provide an accurate estimate for new projects."
