Retainers, campaigns and pitches on the same people
An agency's studio rarely works on one kind of job. There are retainers with a fixed monthly fee and an unfixed number of requests. There are campaigns with a budget and a launch date. And there are pitches, which cost real studio time and earn nothing unless they're won.
The money is lost in the gaps between those. A retainer client sends a few extra adaptations, a pitch takes the senior designer for three days, and at the end of the month the margin on two clients has gone without anyone deciding it should.
ShipSprint makes each of those visible as its own project. Every client gets a board. Pitches get one too, treated as internal work, so you can see what new business really costs. On Team and up, people log time in about five seconds beside the task they just finished, and the weekly timesheet shows the split across clients, campaigns and pitches without anyone filling in a grid on Friday evening.
Saying "after Thursday" with a number behind it
Account managers say yes because the client is on the phone. The studio finds out later. Per-column WIP limits on each board change that conversation: when the design column for a client is full, the account manager can see it before agreeing a date, and "we can start this after Thursday" is a fact rather than a brush-off.
Every new ask, whether it came by email, a call or a chat message, goes into a triage inbox first. Someone decides which client and which job it belongs to, and whether it's inside the retainer or a change to quote for. Revision rounds show up as revisions instead of as new work that nobody priced.
When a job stalls on client approval, the designer taps "I'm blocked" on the my-day screen, and the account lead is pulled in with the context attached. The wait is visible on the board, which is useful when a client asks why the date moved.
What the studio and the owner each get
Marketing has its own templates and vocabulary: campaigns, content calendars, launch checklists.
Tone, logo rules and approval contacts in a wiki page with history. Any line can become a task.
Monthly deliverables for a retainer planned on a calendar template, with each post or asset as a card.
On Team and up, the studio's load across clients, with capacity that counts leave and out-of-office.
On Business, every client in one view and a Monday digest that arrives without anyone compiling it.
On Business, delivered work and logged hours per person, leave-adjusted and visible to that person.
The festival weeks, from both sides
Ganesh Chaturthi, usually in August or September, is Mumbai's big regional festival, and Diwali and Holi follow their own dates. Festive periods can bring a rush of client briefs and, at the same moment, the studio's heaviest leave. Colleagues from other states may also celebrate regional festivals of their own.
On Team and up, approved leave and public holidays count towards capacity. That lets you see, weeks ahead, that the festive push lands on a half-empty studio and move work forward, book freelance help or reset the client's expectations. If your agency works some Saturdays, plan on the days people actually work.
Using ShipSprint from Mumbai: the practical side
Who you're buying from. Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd., which builds ShipSprint in Hyderabad. You're billed in rupees with GST-compliant invoices, and support works through email and in-app chat.
Time zones. No gap to manage: support is on IST and normally replies the same working day.
Billing. Each seat is billed per user in rupees through Razorpay. Prices are before GST, which the invoice shows, and a valid GSTIN lets you claim input-tax credit. Your accountant can confirm the position.
Data protection. Lead lists, contest entries and influencer contacts are personal data under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Before any of it goes into a card, compare the sub-processor list and the security overview with your own duties and each client's contract.
Questions from Mumbai agencies
Anyone with a seat can log time on Team and up. Pricing is per user, so a freelancer who logs time takes a seat like anyone else on the team.
No. It gives you the timesheets and the record of work. Invoicing your clients stays in your accounting tool.
No. No screenshots, no keystroke logging, no activity tracking. Reminders about missing hours go to the person, not their manager.
Time logs, timesheets and the manager dashboard are on Team at ₹299 per user per month. Business, at ₹599, adds the owner command center, scorecards, forecasts, the audit log, sign-in with Google or Microsoft and unlimited projects.
₹2,899 per user per year on Team, ₹6,499 on Business, plus GST. Any paid charge is refunded in full within 7 days. See the pricing page.
