We use Harvest between our graphic design and interior design departments to track billable time, as well as analyze hours spent on projects for time and billing efficiency. Harvest allows us to seamlessly track time between departments and collaborative projects which is especially helpful with employees working from home as well as from different states. Overall using Harvest has allowed us to improve our billing process on projects with our sales team.
- Project time management can be set up for multiple projects and multiple tasks within each project to allow for more accurate billing.
- We can use Harvest in conjunction with the workflow organization tool Trello so that we can dedicate projects, attach, and view time spent on projects so that information is easily accessibly to anyone who needs it across multiple departments.
- Harvest sends/emails regular time analysis reports so you can see where your time has been spent between projects.
- It would be nice if time tracking for a day on one project would just show cumulatively instead of showing each time entry that was started and stopped.
- As a project manager I would like to be notified with other team member time reports to know when time has been logged and be able to check for accuracy.
- Time tracking between billable and non-billable tasks.
- Integration with Trello app.
- Ability to create projects with multiple tasks and team members.
- We've been able to increase our revenue on services such as interior and graphic design.
- We've been able to improve our billing process on services and look see where there is room for improvement.
- Team management has improved across multiple departments and states.

Very user friendly!
Our entire company uses Harvest to capture the timesheets for our staff for given tasks, roles and projects; and then use that information to run reports to be used as data for billing. This is the basic minimum requirement that we needed. The ability to apply different rates to specific tasks and run reports and insights on that specific task is very valuable.
At this time we are not using it to send and receive invoices because the software we we coming from didn’t offer that and we had developed other processes. Although I can see that it is part of the Harvest suite. So far I enjoy how user-friendly and intuitive Harvest is.
- Time tracking is very easy for even non-technical users
- Reports are intuitive and easy to understand
- Billing function is available
- Easy to manage tasks, roles and projects for any given client
- I’m still trying to figure out how tasks best associate to a specific project. There’s a couple different places to edit that and I’m a little confused as to best practice.
- Does not integrate into Basecamp which is our project management system
- Time tracking
- Reports
- Insights on where Time is being spent (billable v non-billable)
- Software expense was within budget
- Solved and immediate need for a time tracking solution to be implemented quickly
- Runs reports easily, very intuitive interface
- Everhour and OpenAir PSA
Everhour is just very rudimentary and ugly. It did the okay for time tracking and basic reports — but it wasn’t very intuitive and could’ve been a lot more elegant. You couldn’t edit other users time or make corrections it was just a data pull and that was it.
Open air is even worse. it’s like something out of 1985. Extremely ugly and not at all easy to use. It fulfilled the basic requirement of tracking time and we did not use it for anything else. When they raised the price to eight grand a year, despite our limited use of it’s functionality. We quickly dropped them.
