Project Management Software for IT Companies in Osaka

Not every ticket is the same ticket

An IT firm supporting a factory's systems and an office's back-end is running two different services through the same engineers. A fault on a system a production line depends on can't wait for the queue. A permissions change for an accounts team can. When both arrive in one undivided list, either everything is treated as urgent, which burns the team out, or nothing is, which loses the client who couldn't wait.

ShipSprint gives each client its own project and board, so each can be laid out around the service it actually buys. Every new ticket and change request lands in one triage inbox, where the person on duty decides who takes it and how quickly, rather than whoever picks up the phone. Per-column WIP limits on each board show when a client's queue is full before another job is promised.

Cover through Golden Week and Obon

Client systems keep running through the holidays, and some of them can't be left without cover. Golden Week in late April and early May, Obon in mid-August and the New Year holidays are the stretches when the most engineers are away at once. Capacity planning on Team and up counts approved leave, out-of-office and public holidays, so you can see weeks ahead which clients will be thin on cover and agree arrangements with them before the break.

The hours that keep fixed-fee contracts honest come from the same five-second logs. If one client's monthly support agreement is consuming far more time than it pays for, the logged hours show it while there's still a renewal to discuss. A missed day reminds the engineer, not their manager, and there are no screenshots, keystroke logs or activity tracking anywhere in the product.

Before an Osaka IT firm signs up

Who you're buying from. Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Hyderabad, India, builds ShipSprint. We have no office or local entity in Japan, and support is handled by email and in-app chat.

Time zones. IST is 3 hours 30 minutes behind Osaka throughout the year. The Indian working day begins while yours is already under way and overlaps your afternoon, so setup questions sent by late morning usually get a reply the same working day.

Billing. Each seat is billed in Indian rupees through Razorpay, and your bank converts the charge to yen. Ask your accountant how Japanese consumption tax applies to a service bought from outside Japan.

Data protection. You and your clients handle personal information under the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI), and support contracts often add confidentiality terms. Check the sub-processor list and the security overview against both, including APPI's rules on providing data to parties abroad, before client data goes into a ticket.
