vs the old way.
Most agencies run tasks in Monday or Asana, track time in Harvest, plan capacity in Float, and reconcile all three into a profitability spreadsheet once a month, or run the whole thing through COR. Each tool does its own job well; the gap is what happens between them, because none of the four knows whether a project made money without someone exporting from all four and doing the math by hand.
COR, or a stack of Monday or Asana for tasks, Harvest for time, and Float for capacity, reconciled into a profitability spreadsheet by hand
- Four separate tools, each knowing only its own slice: tasks, time, capacity, or spend
- Utilization gets reconstructed from timesheets once the month has closed
- A project's margin shows up in a spreadsheet after the work has shipped
- Status for a client means someone writing a recap
With Signal*form
- One operations platform, so profitability comes from data that's already there instead of four monthly exports
- Bookings show who's over-allocated for a coming week before that week arrives
- A project flags itself once it's burned more of its estimate than the timeline allows, while it's still running
- A client status page updates itself from the same data the team is already working from
