Project Management Software for Marketing Agencies in Ahmedabad

The festive season, from both sides

If your clients time offers and campaigns around Navratri, Diwali or Uttarayan, you know the pattern: social posts, outdoor creative and short videos, sometimes all at once. The heaviest production weeks of the year then land just before the holidays your own designers, writers and account managers will be celebrating.

The way out is to plan backwards from the festival rather than forwards from the brief. ShipSprint's capacity planning, on Team and up, counts approved leave, out-of-office and public holidays, so when you lay out the season's campaigns you can see which weeks the studio is actually staffed. In Ahmedabad that means Navratri in the autumn and Uttarayan in January as well as Diwali and Holi, and any regional festivals that colleagues from other states celebrate.

Each client gets a board, with columns that follow how that client approves work. A WIP limit on "Client review" makes it obvious when the studio is waiting on approvals rather than short of time, which is a different conversation to have with the client.

Retainer hours you can show the client

A retainer covers a set amount of work, and extra rounds of revisions quietly eat into it. On Team and up, people log time in about five seconds next to the task they just finished. The hours land in that client's project, timesheets collect each person's week, and anyone who misses a day gets the reminder themselves, not via their manager.

When a client's month runs over, the account lead has the breakdown: how much went on the brief, how much on the third round of changes to the banner. That makes it easier to agree what's extra.

New requests arrive in a triage inbox instead of an account manager's WhatsApp. Someone decides which retainer they belong to, or whether they're new work, before the studio picks them up.

Saturdays and the studio's week

The usual week in India is Monday to Friday, with Saturday working at some firms. If your agency works some Saturdays, set capacity to match, so the plan for a busy festive week counts the days people really work.

ShipSprint doesn't monitor anyone: no screenshots, no keystroke logging, no activity tracking. Hours are what people log themselves, and on Business, scorecards are adjusted for leave, so someone back from Diwali leave doesn't look slow.

Using ShipSprint from Ahmedabad: the practical part

Who you're buying from. Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd., which builds ShipSprint in Hyderabad and bills in rupees with GST-compliant invoices. Support is by email and in-app chat.

Support hours. We're on IST like you, and replies usually come the same working day. During the festive rush, raise setup questions early rather than in the week of a launch.

Billing. Per seat in rupees through Razorpay. Prices exclude GST, which appears on the GST-compliant invoice; with a valid GSTIN you can usually claim the input-tax credit. Check with your accountant.

Data protection. Contest entries, lead lists and customer phone numbers are personal data under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and client contracts may add conditions. Check the sub-processor list and the security overview against both before any of it goes into a task.
