Remote Team Management Software
Managing a team you can't see from your desk by asking "what's the status" doesn't scale past a handful of people. ShipSprint answers the question from the board itself, before anyone has to ask it.
Most remote management is just more asking
In an office, a manager picks up status by accident: a comment overheard on the way to the kettle, a screen glimpsed over a shoulder. None of that survives people working from different flats, cities or countries, and the instinct is to replace it with something explicit, a status message sent to everyone, a "quick update?" pinged at whoever's online. It looks like management. It's actually a second job, handed to the person who already had one.
That job doesn't get done evenly. A message sent at 10am gets a reply from one person within a minute, from another after lunch, and from a third only once they notice the notification badge the next morning. By the time every reply is in, the picture it forms describes an hour that's already passed, assembled from five different moments in time.
ShipSprint's approach to remote team management software isn't a faster way to collect that update. It's removing the need to collect one at all: the status is wherever the work already is.
It also changes what a new remote hire has to learn in their first week. Someone joining a co-located team absorbs a lot of unwritten process by watching, how requests actually flow, who decides what, what "done" means in practice. A remote hire doesn't get that by osmosis, and the usual substitute is a document nobody has updated since the last person joined. Here, the board and the wiki are the process, current by construction, so there's less tribal knowledge that only lives in someone's head.
Status that lives on the board, not in a reply
A ShipSprint board doesn't have a separate status field for someone to keep in sync with reality. The column a card sits in is the status. Boards carry per-column WIP limits, so a manager scanning it doesn't need anyone to characterise how things are going. A column stacked past its limit says so on its own, without a message from anyone.
New requests don't land in a person's inbox either. They land in a triage inbox, so work gets planned against what a team can actually take on rather than against who happened to answer a message first. That matters more for a remote team than a co-located one, because there's no desk to walk over to and ask "can you take this," the request has to route itself.
Where this pays off most is the moment something stops moving. Instead of a message to a manager that might sit unread for eight hours while they're offline, there's one tap for "I'm blocked" that pulls in the right person with the context already attached: what's stuck, and why. The person who can unstick it doesn't have to reply "what do you mean, blocked?" first. They open to an explanation, not a one-line ping they have to interpret cold.
What changes day to day
Small mechanics, but they're the ones a remote team actually runs on.
Board position is the status. There's no separate update to write, forget to write, or write vaguely because the real answer is awkward.
One tap raises it, and it arrives with context rather than as a bare ping someone has to chase down before they can even start helping.
Time logging sits next to the task just finished. If a day goes missing, the reminder goes to the person who worked it, not a manager guessing at their hours.
Delivery forecasts come from the team's measured velocity as sprints complete, so a date at risk shows up long before it would otherwise be noticed.
A built-in wiki keeps decisions next to the work they affect, with page history, so whoever wasn't in on the conversation isn't left guessing at it later.
Everyone opens to "my day": today's items, a one-tap time log, and the blocked flag, nothing that requires anyone else to be online at the same moment.
The same board, read differently depending on who's looking
A remote manager doesn't need the same screen as the person doing the work, and giving everyone one identical view is usually how a tool ends up serving nobody well. The person doing the work opens "my day," today's items, a one-tap time log, and the blocked flag, with nothing else competing for attention while they're trying to get through a task list alone.
A manager overseeing several remote contributors gets a different cut of the same data: throughput, where work is queuing by column, and who's currently blocked. The useful signal there is rarely the total count of anything. It's the one card that hasn't moved in nine days while the rest of the board kept pace, which is exactly the kind of thing that's invisible in a status message and obvious on a board.
Neither view requires the other person to be online. That's the actual point of managing this way: the manager's picture updates whether or not the remote contributor happens to be at their desk right now, and the contributor's day isn't interrupted by a request to produce that picture on demand.
Why the wiki matters more once people aren't in the room
A decision made out loud on a call has a short half-life for anyone who wasn't on it. They hear a summary secondhand, or they don't hear it at all and act on the previous version of the plan. For a co-located team this gets patched over by proximity, someone overhears the correction eventually. A remote team doesn't get that patch for free.
ShipSprint's wiki is where that decision lives instead, next to the work it affects, not buried in a chat thread that scrolled past hours ago. Page history means a change in direction is visible as a change, not silently overwritten. And because any sentence on a page can become a task, a decision doesn't need a second meeting to turn into work, someone reads it and the next step is already there to claim.
None of this depends on watching anyone work. There are no screenshots, no keystroke logging and no activity tracking, only what got delivered and the hours the person themselves logged. A remote team managed by surveillance tends to fill in its own data defensively; one managed by outcomes has no reason to.
What it costs
- Free covers up to 5 users and 2 projects, permanently, enough to run the async workflow with a small remote team before committing to anything.
- Team is ₹299/user/month (₹2,899/year) for up to 40 users, and includes the GitHub sync that keeps an engineering team's board matched to what actually shipped.
- Business is ₹599/user/month (₹6,499/year) and adds forecasts, scorecards, the owner command center and SSO.
- Every paid plan starts with a 14-day full-access trial on Business, sample project preloaded, no card required.

Common questions
No. The workflow runs on board position, logged hours, the blocked flag and the wiki, none of which need two people online together at the same time. Teams that hold regular calls can keep doing so; nothing here depends on it.
No. There's no screenshot capture, no keystroke logging and no activity tracking, only work outcomes such as items delivered and hours the person logged themselves. Scorecards are visible to the person they describe, not hidden from them.
Yes, the mechanics don't assume zero overlap, they just stop making overlap a requirement. A team that's mostly online together still gets a status that doesn't need typing and a blocker flag that arrives with context instead of a bare ping.
Every workspace is an isolated tenant, two-factor authentication is available to every user, and admin actions are written to an audit log, none of it dependent on where someone happens to be logging in from. See security for the full picture.
