Replace Asana + Harvest + Xero With One Platform

If you are running your business on Asana for projects, Harvest for time and Xero for invoicing, you are paying for three subscriptions and losing hours every week switching between them. CanTicket replaces two of three and works natively with Xero.

The Problem

What Is Holding Your Business Back

The biggest operational bottlenecks in Australian SMEs are rarely about effort. They are about information gaps, tool friction and processes that do not scale.

Tool Switching Friction

Every time a team member moves from Asana to Harvest to Xero, they lose context. They have to remember which project maps to which Harvest client, which Harvest client maps to which Xero contact and whether the invoice they are about to create matches the time they logged. This cognitive load adds up to hours of wasted effort every week across the whole team.

Data Fragmentation Across Tools

Project scope is in Asana. Time is in Harvest. Financial data is in Xero. None of these tools know about the others. If you want to see the profitability of a specific project, you need to pull data from all three tools, match it manually and hope the numbers add up. Most businesses give up and make decisions without the data.

Triple Subscription Cost

Asana, Harvest and Xero each charge per user per month. For a team of ten, the combined subscription cost can easily exceed $8,000 per year. CanTicket replaces Asana and Harvest for a lower combined cost and eliminates the integration overhead of keeping three separate tools in sync.

CanTicket Features

Designed Around Your Operational Reality

CanTicket is not adapted enterprise software. It is built from scratch for the way Australian SMEs actually run their businesses.

Projects + Time + Billing in One

CanTicket combines project management, time tracking and billing in one platform. Create a job, assign team members, track time, record costs and generate an invoice without ever leaving the system or copying data between tools.

Xero Stays, The Rest Gets Replaced

CanTicket is not a Xero replacement. It is a Xero supercharger. Your Xero account stays exactly as it is. CanTicket replaces Asana and Harvest and pushes all financial data directly into Xero automatically, so your accountant sees everything they need.

No Data Silos

Because everything is in one platform, project scope, time entries, costs and billing are always connected. Profitability by job, by client and by service type is always available with one click, no manual consolidation required.

Single Source of Truth

CanTicket is the single place your team goes to see what needs to be done, log their time and understand the financial status of every job. Fewer tools means fewer things to maintain, fewer places for data to get lost and a team that actually uses the system.

Xero Integration

Your Financials, Always in Sync

CanTicket connects to Xero so your financial data is always current, always categorised correctly and always available to your accountant without any manual work from your team.

  • All job costs flow to Xero in real time, categorised correctly
  • Invoices and purchase orders sync automatically
  • Your Xero chart of accounts is respected across all transactions
  • Bank reconciliation in Xero is faster and more accurate
  • Your accountant works in Xero with cleaner data than ever before

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I replace Asana and Harvest instead of just integrating them better?
Integrations between Asana, Harvest and Xero are available but they are limited, fragile and require ongoing maintenance. They sync some data but not all data, and they create edge cases where records fall out of sync. More importantly, even a perfect integration between three tools does not give you native job-level profitability because the data models of the three tools do not align. CanTicket is built with a single data model that connects projects, time and billing natively, which means profitability data is always accurate and always available without any integration work.
Will switching from Asana to CanTicket disrupt my team's workflow?
CanTicket covers the core workflow capabilities of Asana, including task management, team assignment, deadlines and project views. The transition is typically straightforward because CanTicket adds financial capabilities on top of the project management features your team already uses, rather than removing functionality. We provide migration support to bring your active projects and tasks across from Asana so the team can continue working without interruption. Most teams are comfortable in CanTicket within two weeks of going live.
Can CanTicket replace Harvest for time tracking?
Yes. CanTicket includes full time tracking functionality that replaces Harvest. Team members log time against specific jobs and tasks directly in CanTicket. Time entries automatically update job cost calculations and feed into billing. The key improvement over Harvest is that time is connected to the job in CanTicket, not just to a client and project in isolation. This means every hour logged contributes to a live margin calculation that you can see at any point during the job.
What happens to the data that is currently in Asana and Harvest?
During onboarding, CanTicket's migration team helps you move active projects and time data from Asana and Harvest into CanTicket. Historical data from Harvest can be exported and archived. Completed projects from Asana can be documented in CanTicket for reference. The migration typically takes place during the first two weeks of your implementation and is completed before your team is asked to start using CanTicket as their primary system. Historical data that is not actively needed day-to-day is retained in export format in the event you need to reference it.
How much does CanTicket cost compared to the Asana plus Harvest plus Xero stack?
For a team of ten, the combined cost of Asana Business, Harvest Pro and Xero is typically between $700 and $900 per month, or $8,400 to $10,800 per year. CanTicket replaces Asana and Harvest while connecting to your existing Xero subscription. The combined cost of CanTicket plus Xero is typically lower than the three-tool stack, and the value is significantly higher because the data is connected natively. During your demo, we will provide a specific cost comparison based on your team size and current subscription tiers.

CanTicket is cloud ERP and job management software for small businesses and professional services teams. It brings project management, time tracking, job costing, invoicing and staffing into one system with live margin visibility, so you can see exactly what every job, client and staff member is earning or costing in real time — connected to the Xero you already run.

Project management tools like Asana, Trello and Monday show you what work is happening, but not what it is worth. CanTicket is job costing and project profitability software as well as a small business ERP — it tracks real-time margin on every job, so you manage profit, staffing and capacity, not just task status.

Yes. CanTicket offers a two-way Xero ERP integration that pulls real cost, payroll and invoice data straight from Xero and maps it to every job. Your job costing and margin reporting run on actual accounting numbers, not estimates — which is why it is popular accountant- and advisor-recommended small business software.

CanTicket is built for service and project-based small businesses — agencies, marketing and creative studios, consulting firms, IT services and professional services teams, typically between $500K and $5M in revenue. If you deliver work through people's time and need better ERP, staffing and profitability visibility than spreadsheets can give, CanTicket is for you.

CanTicket uses one flat per-seat price with everything included — job management, job costing, project profitability, real-time margin tracking, Xero integration and the AI team — with no feature gating and no per-tier gouging. See the pricing page for current rates.

Most teams migrate in a few clicks. Your boards, tasks, time and staffing come across from tools like Asana, Harvest and Trello, and CanTicket connects straight to Xero — so you are adding real-time margin and ERP visibility to your existing workflow, not rebuilding your small business software stack from scratch.

Yes. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, tenant-isolated per company, and never sold. Full detail on our security and privacy practices is on the security page.

Yes. Every AI action the CanTicket team takes — Madi checking margin, Atlas balancing capacity, Opti clearing admin — is metered and attributed to the job, client or department it ran for. AI consumption shows up as a real, itemised cost line alongside labour and expenses, not as an invisible platform fee, so you always know what the automation is costing you and where it is being spent.

AI is quietly becoming a real operating expense, and in most businesses it sits in a single unallocated software bill nobody can break down. Tracking consumption per job puts that spend where it actually belongs: your job costing and project profitability numbers include the cost to serve, your margin reporting stays honest, and the expense flows into Xero already coded — so your accountant, your board and your clients see the same defensible figure.
