Harvest Knows Where Your Time Goes. It Does Not See What Happens Between the Timesheets.
Harvest is a trusted time tracking tool for consulting, environmental, and professional services teams. It captures hours, tracks against project budgets, and produces the reports your billing and finance teams rely on. For office-based workflows, it does exactly what it needs to do.
Field operations are a different story. When your team is working across multiple remote sites, time logged in Harvest is only part of the picture. There are third party costs, flow through expenses, field purchases, and site conditions that never make it into Harvest. Your project managers are left combining timesheet data with spreadsheets and emails just to understand true budget status on any given project.
The result is a gap between what your time tracking system sees and what your operations team has to manage. Labor is accounted for. Everything else is not.
Matidor closes that gap. It pulls time and labor cost data from Harvest into a field-friendly workspace, then lets your team track the additional costs that live outside the time tracking system, so you can manage to the real project budget, not just the billed hours.
What Is Matidor?
Matidor is a GIS-native field operations platform built for teams managing multi-site projects in industries like environmental consulting, oil and gas, construction, and infrastructure. It runs on desktop and mobile, works offline at remote sites, and gives project managers a real-time view of every site's status, budget, and activity from a single map.
Four things it does:
1. Location Intelligence
Every project appears on an interactive map with live budget status, field activity, and site conditions. You see which sites are on track and which need attention at a glance. Learn more
2. Project Management
Portfolio dashboards give operations managers visibility across all active projects. Custom workflows, task tracking, and monthly reporting are built for teams managing ten to hundreds of concurrent sites. Learn more
3. Budget and Cost Control
Real-time budget tracking with automated alerts at 70%, 90%, and 100% of thresholds. Every cost tracked in Matidor updates your project budget instantly, no spreadsheets, no delays. Learn more
4. Field Operations
Mobile apps built for remote work. Field teams capture GPS-tagged photos, complete digital forms, and log costs offline. Everything syncs when connection returns. Learn more
When connected to Harvest, Matidor pulls in time and labor cost data so your operations team can track exceptions and additional costs in context, without changing how your time tracking works.
Labor Data From Harvest
Time entries and labor hours sync from Harvest into Matidor automatically. Operations always works with the same labor cost data that finance uses.
Operational Layer On Top Of Time Tracking
Harvest remains the source of truth for billable hours and time-based billing. Matidor adds the operational layer for field costs that never touch the timesheet.
Geographic Visibility Harvest Does Not Include
Every Harvest project appears on a live Matidor map with budget status and field activity by site. The geographic context your time tracking tool cannot provide.
Your Time Tracking System Sees the Hours. Your Project Managers Need the Whole Budget.
Harvest is where your billable time and labor costs live. That is exactly how it should be. But field project budgets are never just labor. There are third party services, flow through expenses, equipment costs, and small field purchases that do not belong in a timesheet and never make it in cleanly.
Right now, those costs live in spreadsheets, emails, or someone's memory. Project managers try to combine Harvest reports with their own tracking just to understand whether they are on budget. Finance sees clean time logs, but not the full operational picture.
Matidor is where those two worlds meet. Harvest sends time and labor cost data into Matidor. Your team logs only the additional costs that are not tracked in Harvest. The result is a complete view of every project's budget performance in one place, organized by site, visible on a map.
How Matidor and Harvest Work Together
Harvest stays in charge of your timesheets and billing. Matidor gives operations a clear view of everything that sits alongside and on top of the hours.
Step 1: Connect your Harvest account
Link Matidor to your Harvest account using your existing project codes and chart of accounts. No custom development required. See all integrations
Step 2: Time and labor cost data syncs into Matidor
Time entries, labor hours, and project cost context sync from Harvest into Matidor. By default, Matidor groups this synced data into two clear buckets for budget context: Labor and Expenses. You do not rebuild your project structure. Matidor aligns to what already exists.
Step 3: Field teams log exceptions in Matidor
Field crews and project managers use Matidor to log the costs that do not live in Harvest, such as third party or flow through expenses and site-specific field costs. These entries can use any categories you define inside Matidor. You decide how detailed your operational view needs to be.
Step 4: Harvest remains the source of truth
Harvest continues to own all billable time entries, invoicing, and time-based reporting. Matidor mirrors the labor cost context from Harvest and adds the extra operational costs on top, giving your operations team a complete budget picture without changing your time tracking process.
What You Get When Both Platforms Are Connected
Feature 1
Track Field Exceptions On Top Of Labor Actuals
Harvest remains the source of truth for billable hours and labor costs. Matidor pulls in that data, then lets your team track the additional costs that never touch a timesheet, such as third party services, flow through expenses, and field purchases. You see the real operational budget, not just the billed hours.
Feature 2
Simple Labor And Expenses Buckets For Synced Data
By default, Matidor groups data synced from Harvest into two clear buckets for budget context: Labor and Expenses. This keeps reporting clean and simple for most teams. If you need more granular groupings that mirror a complex project structure, the Matidor development team can configure a custom integration that introduces additional categories for imported data.
Feature 3
Flexible Categories For Matidor-Only Costs
Costs entered directly in Matidor that do not live in Harvest can use any categories you define. You are not limited to Labor and Expenses for these entries. This lets your team track field exceptions at the level of detail that makes sense for operations, while keeping the time tracking sync clean.
Feature 4
Project Level Budget Tracking For Operations
Operations sees Harvest labor data plus additional field costs in Matidor, by project and by site. Project managers do not need Harvest access to understand budget status. They see how each project tracks against its full budget at any time.
Feature 5
Multi-Site Portfolio Visibility
See all active project budgets on a live map. Filter by site, status, or budget health. Matidor gives your operations team the geographic context that Harvest reports cannot provide. Explore location intelligence
Feature 6
One Place For Third Party And Flow Through Costs
Use Matidor to capture third party and flow through costs that are not tracked in Harvest. Finance and billing keep the timesheet data clean. Operations keeps the full budget picture complete. See how Matidor handles budget and cost control
Built For Teams That Already Run On Harvest
If Harvest is your time tracking system and any of the following feels familiar, Matidor is built for you.
Pain point list:
✓ Project managers track field costs in spreadsheets because Harvest does not show the complete project budget. ✓ Third party and flow through costs are logged outside your time tracking system entirely. ✓ You manage multiple active sites and cannot easily see which ones are running over budget without manual work. ✓ Month-end surprises are common because not all field costs are visible in one consolidated view. ✓ Your team has outgrown manual reconciliation between timesheet data and field cost tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Matidor replace Harvest?
No. Matidor complements Harvest. Harvest remains your system of record for time tracking, invoicing, and time-based reporting. Matidor uses data from Harvest to give operations live budget context and a place to track additional field costs that do not belong in a timesheet.
How long does setup take?
Most teams are live within one to two weeks. The Matidor onboarding team maps your Harvest project and account structures, configures the default Labor and Expenses buckets for synced data, and validates the sync before go-live. The Enterprise plan includes guided implementation for the full platform.
What data syncs from Harvest into Matidor?
Harvest sends time entry data, labor hours, and project cost context into Matidor. By default, synced data is grouped into Labor and Expenses for clean budget views. Regular time and billing entries remain in Harvest as the source of truth. In Matidor, your team can also track additional costs that are not entered in Harvest, such as third party and flow through expenses, using any categories they define.
Can project managers see budget status without a Harvest account?
Yes. Project managers see real-time budget status in Matidor based on the labor data synced from Harvest plus any additional field costs tracked in Matidor. They do not need a Harvest license to use the operational budget view.
Q: Is this available on Starter or Professional plans?
No. The Harvest integration is available on the Enterprise plan only. Starter is a standalone platform for teams getting off spreadsheets. Professional adds QuickBooks Online integration for teams that need accounting sync. Enterprise adds Harvest, Replicon, and Deltek Vantagepoint for teams running more complex time tracking and ERP stacks.
