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 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.”

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

"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."

“Harvest helps me see where we've been profitable and where we've been burned in the past. It's good intel that touches so many different parts of the business essentially.”

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

“When COVID happened, we had eight years of consistent time entry reporting and budget tracking under our belts. We were in a good position with our projects—and if there were projects that weren’t performing well enough, we were aware of it and could make an adequate response.”

“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.”

"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.”

"Having an easy, clean way to track time allows us to focus on the tough engineering problems where we bring value to our clients."

"It seemed like all of those missing pieces we were looking for were part of Harvest, and over time, those features have evolved and become even more useful."

“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 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."

“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.”
