Landing Platform vs Harvest: timesheets that fill themselves

The best timesheet is the one nobody has to fill in.

Harvest makes logging time quick. Landing makes it mostly unnecessary: every night, each person's Outlook meetings become time against the right client, capped at the hours they owe. Then the hours feed projects, invoices, capacity and profit per client on the same record.

Landing suits you if

  • You're tired of chasing timesheets every Monday
  • You want the hours to land on the project, the invoice and the margin without exporting
  • You want approvals and profit reports without a higher tier

Where the hours go missing.

Harvest records the time people remember to enter. The rest is the problem.

Friday-afternoon guesswork

A timer only works if someone starts it. Meetings, calls and quick jobs go unlogged, then get reconstructed from memory at the end of the week.

Reports a tier up

Profitability reporting and timesheet approvals sit on Harvest's Enterprise plan, not the Teams plan most teams start on.

Time in one tool, work in another

The projects, the deals and the client record live somewhere else, so every question about margin starts with an export.

Landing Platform vs Harvest, line by line.

On logging, approving and billing time Landing does what Harvest does, and fills most of the week before anyone opens it. Then it runs the projects, deals and people the hours belong to.

Switching is our job, not yours.

We move you over one tool a month, against success criteria we agree with you up front. You don't pay until we prove each one is ready.

Step 1

We map your stack

Show us your Harvest setup and the tools around it. We agree what moves where, and what "ready" means for each tool, before you commit to anything.

Step 2

We move Harvest across

We bring your clients, projects, rates and time history across as part of the switch, then connect each person's Outlook so tomorrow's timesheets start filling themselves. We check totals match before you switch off.

Step 3

You sign it off

Billing starts only when we have shown it works against the criteria you set. Then we move the next tool, one a month.

Billing starts when it's readyWe prove the switch works before your first invoice.
One tool a monthTimed to each renewal, so you never pay for two at once.

But everyone already knows Harvest.

Fair. Here are the questions teams ask us most when they weigh it up.

How does the Outlook fill actually work?

Each night, opted-in people have their Outlook meetings turned into time. Overlapping meetings are merged, the client is worked out from the attendees and rules it remembers, meetings with nobody else invited are judged by AI, and the day is capped at what the person owes. Anything they typed or edited is never touched.

Can people still use a timer?

Yes. Timers, a week grid and the overnight fill all write to the same timesheet, and reminders go by email or text to anyone still short.

How many hours go unbilled?

The free unbilled hours calculator puts a figure on the time that never reaches an invoice.

“We were running PR, social scheduling and the rest of our marketing across half a dozen tools that never talked. Now we plan, schedule and measure from a single screen.”
