“It works well because you have continuity. A lot of the same people who are designing might be involved in the construction management, and we can go out to the nursery and see whether the plant material we want to use is available.”
"Flexible, easy to use, easy to adopt and provides all the basic tools for tracking resourcing."
"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."
“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’."
“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.”
“For us, it is really important that our clients feel that we work closely with them to solve any of their problems together, as one team."
"It’s very rare that anybody actually questions the invoices because the people who pay the invoices recognize the names, and they know that they’re on the team."
“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.”
“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.”
“Time tracking has helped us understand that we (and our clients) don’t realize how long it takes to design great work.”
"It helps us be transparent. I can provide clients with incredibly detailed lists of exactly what happened using an export from Harvest."
“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.”
