Basecamp Classic + Harvest Integrations

Basecamp Classic and Harvest are two popular web applications that allow users to organize their work.

What is Basecamp Classic?

Basecamp Classic is a project management system created by 37Signals, a web application development company founded in 1999 in Chicago, Illinois. Its tagline is "The Project Management Tool for the Rest of Us". It allows users to manage projects, keep conversations organized, and assign tasks.Basecamp's features include to-do lists, task management, file storage and sharing, message boards, time tracking, real-time chat, calendars and milestones.Basecamp Classic was launched in January 2004. According to its founder, Jason Fried, it was intended as a response to the complexity of other project management software; as an alternative to systems offering a hundred different reports and features, he wanted a tool that made managers more efficient and productive.Basecamp Classic relies on the browser to view its pages. There is no software to install. The entire project lives on the internet. Basecamp Classic uses AJAX to update information without reloading the page, which increases usability.There are no limits on file size or uploads. Basecamp Classic has a built-in calendar that can be used to schedule both personal and business events.It also includes an email feature, allowing messages directly from Basecamp to be sent via email. These messages have their own subject lines and sometimes contain attachments.

What is Harvest?

Harvest is an online time tracking software program created by David Allen Company (DAC), a productivity consulting company based in Seattle, Washington. DAC was founded in 2002.Harvest is designed to track time spent on projects for businesses. It allows users to create tasks and subtasks, and track time against them. Users can set up recurring tasks that repeat on specific days of the week. Harvest can sync with Basecamp Classic so that all timesheets are automatically updated and instantly reflect changes made in the software program. There is also a Google Chrome app available for Harvest, which allows users to quickly add time entries from their computer's browser.The software provides users with reports detailing how much time was spent on specific projects or clients. It also allows users to generate invoices based on these reports. Harvest is divided into four modules. Tracking allows users to enter tasks and track time against them. Reporting provides an overview of time spent on projects over the course of several months or years. Invoicing lets users create invoices from those reports. Finally, Charts displays a chart of how much time has been spent on different tasks over the course of several months or years.Harvest is a cloud-based application. Its main modules can be accessed from any computer that has internet access. The only module that requires constant internet access is the Charts module, because it relies on Google Charts for its functionality. All other modules can be used without an internet connection; they will catch up once a user reconnects to the internet. Harvest does not require that a user have a Gmail account; however, if they do use Gmail, they must use Google Chrome in order to access some features of the program.
