Simple billing & easy time tracking solution for peace of mind
Overall Satisfaction with Harvest
We use Harvest for individual team members to track time spent on client projects. Then, on our billing side, we manage invoices based on entered hours or just a flat project rate. From within the program, we can update the invoices, send them to the client with a customized message, and mark paid once payment is received.
Pros
- Easy time tracking with browser add-ons/plugins.
- Invoice management (sending/receiving invoices).
- Invoice status - clear dashboard that shows a client's status and unpaid invoices.
Cons
- Stronger contact management, possibly more like a CRM.
- Automatic project creation (I currently use third-party automation software to do this in a roundabout way).
- Harvest on Mac is able to give a notice when the timer has been left on and keep track of how long it appears to have been running ideally. This would be great if possible on other devices and browsers.
- Removes administrative burden.
- Makes monthly and quarterly billing easier and less time-consuming.
- Increases accuracy in our date and records.
FreshBooks is a great program and I used to use it before my needs changed and I needed different features. When I switched, Harvest had made the most progress versus other platforms of making time tracking easy. This is important for accuracy versus having team members forget to use the clock. Harvest's timer was available on all devices and also as a browser plugin. This is easier for quickly starting/stopping the clock.
