Case Study: Juicyorange achieves clearer profitability and client transparency with Harvest

A musician-turned-web designer finds his groove with Harvest

Juicyorange, a web design company founded by musician-turned-designer Mark Robohm, needed a clearer view of how time was being spent across its many client projects. As the small agency grew, Mark wanted to validate his instincts about workload, identify which jobs were actually profitable, and gain a more accurate way to manage billing and client expectations, so he turned to Harvest.

Using Harvest, Juicyorange began tracking hours, reviewing project profitability, and generating reports to compare estimated versus actual effort. Harvest helped the team spot costly fixed-bid work, improve transparency with clients, and justify invoices with detailed time breakdowns—sometimes showing far more time spent than billed. The result was better pricing decisions, stronger client trust, and clearer insight into the value Juicyorange delivers.
