In honor of Earth Day, here’s a recap of three Smart Tools we’ve adopted here at Hivehouse Digital to reduce paper waste.  Coincidentally, these tools also save you time and effort so you can be efficiency-friendly AND earth-friendly!

Harvest Time Tracking

Are you still using paper time sheets and sending paper invoices? Check out Harvest’s online time tracking, invoicing, and reporting tool!

  • Team members enter time through the web interface, mobile app, or desktop app
  • Send invoices electronically to clients via email
  • Clients can view invoices online and pay via credit card
  • Robust reporting gives you insight into where your team’s time is going so you can correct inefficiencies

Now, instead of collecting paper time sheets and sending out paper invoices via snail mail, we have 100% time tracking compliance, and we collect payments much more quickly from clients. Read more about Harvest Time Tracking.
